Notwithstanding the scoreline, quite a few really good signs
AWB the anti-Trent in attack. When we play if those two ever touch the universe will end.
Pogba, moody and listless as ever, only springs into action at 4-0 for the opportunity to pad his stats, starts calling for the ball and waving his arms about angrily.
General midfield: championship level.
Captain Beefheart: Seems somehow even slower in red, and 100% with terrible header placement. Clearly worth just more than VVD Yoshida, just about.
Luke ate all the pies: huffing after 10 mins. Not seen after 20.
The crowd: From exuberant to groaning in 15 mins, then ecstatic certain title winners on a quick double against the run of play. This lot will be ripping everyone new ones before Sept is out.
Shaping up to be another excellent season
