  Back from game - we were not perfect but showed our class with three excellent passages of play & clinical, quality finishing. That’s all you need at this level. It’ll be too good for most Champ sides. Midfield is not right yet which explains our struggles today - Alvarez starting out of nowhere, Orford & Kante both raw, no proper width on the left. Once we get that sorted we’ll be good to go. We brushed aside Pompey comfortably after we equalised, I felt, despite not being great. We were never at risk from then on after a slow & ‘pre-season’ start.
  
  Mavropanos, Kilman, Taty the standouts, Bowen showed class with his goal & assist. KWP struggled physically first half & they targeted him but played well going forward second half. They got in behind Scarles quite a lot throughout the game, I felt. Pablo was better than I’ve seen him before & Kante showed glimmers of potential but he will make errors, which he did. Orford safe & steady. Alvarez is probably rusty but showed signs of his reckless self. Maybe he will improve with games.
  
  Overall, a winning start to the season, three good goals & now full focus on Burnley & getting that top third of the pitch sorted.

  Really enjoyed the game today (maybe not the first half)
  
  Key takeaways
  • As we know, Bowen and Taty are too good for the championship, lets hope we can keep Taty he'll loads
  • KWP was class, given he was the championship best right back last time he was here.... feel he will be again
  • Kante showed how he can be a huge asset this season, especially as some arent convinced
  • Scarles and Orford quite good, especially nice to see for Orford who was a bit of a surprise inclusion in the XI but imo took his opportunity
  • Solomon adds much needed quality on the left
  • Missed Alvarez, he his yellow which he always will, but he looked good and will be an asset in this league

  Pablo might not score but he played a part in both goals and does a lot of work off the ball

  Soo good to have the football back.
  Dodgy streams that keep buffering, Bowen doing what Bowen does and boundless optimism on here.😃

  Co-commentator keeps using the phrase ‘sense and sensibility’ to mean common sense. It’s making me miss Alan Smith

  And constantly getting Mavropanos and Kilman mixed up.
