Overall impression of that half - flat, lacking any spark or imagination going forward, and always looking one calamity away from conceding. Penalty would have disguised a very lacklustre performance.
We remind me of a shot Mike Tyson at the end of his career, with all the ideas in his head but no longer the ability to do it, just waiting for that one knockout punch to make an impact rather than doing the basics.
Individually, Gueye looks like he'll be OK when he beds in, Barry was good, Barkley great early but faded badly. Other than that, nothing.
The need for incomings to inject some life into this squad is more obvious than ever, but obviously we should have had four or five in by now, and it's increasingly looking like pure negligence that we haven't brought those in.
