Today is the first competitive game this team has played with a full squad. I expect things to improve over the season as the team begins to come and play more regular.

Not a good result,  but let's see next week when it matters

Garbage first half. Worse in the second. Completely outclassed.

Very early but didn't see anything today to be encouraged by.

I'd make Rodri the best paid player at the club to try and persuade him to stay. Without him we are bang average.

Now I'm unhappy with our performance. We have got much worse this second half. Defending is awful, goalkeeping appalling and attacking is fragmented.

Lack of team bonding and will to win. Second best all round.

The good news is there will be big changes in the next fortnight and then it will matter. This doesn't really matter other than to show how much we need to improve.

PSG got rid of Donnarumna for a reason. I agree, we should have kept Trafford. But then again, it's a team game.

I'm convinced that Donnarumna is simply not good enough in enough skills, corners & passing out. I don't know why we were so obsessed by him, I definitely would have kept James Trafford.

That said I think we have played well in general first half despite being 2 goals down. Early season it sharpened will improve. Certainly Donnaruma needs to sharpen up an awful lot. 

Overall I'm happy with the performance.

Should have kept Trafford and binned Donnarumma.
