Our ability to counter's gonna' take a nasty hit...not lookin' forward to it. It wasn't just the numbers of tackles, it was how he went about it...nearly all of them popped the ball loose for someone to pick up; he didn't just hold people up.
Intercepted a lot of them upfield too. Many of them were sudden as you said and caught the opposition off guard.
 
Here is the full bit about what Silva said about signings after the matches yesterday lads.

“It was a tough test for us, a good test, against a team at a different level in their preparations because they had two XI s ready to play and we finished the second game with Tom and Jonas and all of the others (on the pitch) will not be part of our squad and it is not easy, with 14 days to go before Crystal Palace, but we have to start preparing.

“It is not the best thing to do in this way, but it is what it is, and the club are trying to give me the conditions we need because, until now, we need some important players to sign, you are talking about five players in 12 days.

“It is too many and, of course, I would prefer to be with all of them in our squad at this moment but we don’t have that and we are preparing for the first game.

“It should be if you really want to be competitive and to do better than last season. Because at the end of the day, it is what we want to do: do better than last season.”

When asked about Gueye:

“I have spoken to him. Now he is on holiday and resting, and he should rest, and after let’s see what will happen.

“There is nothing new about the situation, nothing sure about the situation. Let’s see. We as a club, we hope to keep him because he is a really important player for us but the market is open and like we are trying to buy some players, some clubs can be interested in our players also.

“Of course, we don’t know what will happen with Gana and there is a lot of speculation but let’s see what will happen in the next few days. If Gana goes then we have to replace him directly and one player has to come in with that profile and, I said to you, one clear number 6 to come and to play.

“They are playing well and trying to know each other but Andre Gomes and Fabian Delph are similar players and we need a different profile as a football player.
