two nil up, against post billionaire Anzhi.
We've looked a bit out of sorts, and I'll put that down to the pressing and harrying of Anzhi, who are closing us down and snapping at our heels throughout the first half. None of our players have any time on the ball and we've looked flustered and a bit helter skelter for much of it.
Lamela's been a bit anonymous, Dembele has beaten the first man plenty of times, and then been dispossessed by the second on countless occasions as he takes one dribble too many, Sandro and Lloris have looked sharp and Holtby has been up for the fight.
Can't complain but hopefully the returning first string will step up against West Ham on the weekend.
