NOVEMBER
4 CS in the last 5 has got me feeling much better about the balance of play during the games...
Gary Neville catches up with manager Rey Quraishi:
Rey, we're a third into the PL season, what is your assessment so far?
Very happy how we have settled into the system and also the transitions both on and off the ball. I feel the squad has "bought in" to the philosophy and I cannot complain with where we are at this moment.
Start of the season, you did not really set a specific target, has that changed now?
I certainly feel that with the start to the season, we can certainly sustain our good form and push to finish in the UCL places.
Your report on your new signings so far?
Ramsdale - Brilliant distribution and really in great form to concede just 1/5 games
White - 3 goals already this season which is a huge bonus, dribbles into advanced areas wonderfully
Tomiyasu - 4 assist already and so solid defensively
Tavares - 2 assists and already been called into the team with Tierney's niggles
Bissouma - Added real aggression into the centre of midfield to break play and start attacks
Lokonga - Just 4 appearances but comfortable on the ball
Odegaard - 10 returns in 14 games and the chief protagonist in everything creative (stats below)
Isak - 9 games, 9 goals. Stone-cold killer in the box
Thanks Rey and good luck!
Martin has been brilliant so far - really controlling games and getting the returns...
