Great result to kick things off, and though there are obvious areas for improvement, the performance was also better than I'd dared hope for. The youngsters really shone, we're playing with proper pace and verve and invention for the first time in years (with the honourable exception of what Harvey Barnes gave us for a few months last year), and you can only imagine what a force we might have been if we still had J-Rod and Gayle up top with this midfield. Very happy and newly optimistic.
