Too little game time to give full review.
Zidane played ok but mostly as sub. Garner didn't play much in Bangkok/Aussie tour due to injuries. Last night was his first start, and he looks promising.
I didn't see Garnacho play during the tour except for last night, not sure why. He's probably the top youth player at the moment.
Ethan Laird was ok, not too bad. Maybe a loan is good for him. I think he defended and attacked better than AWB.
Tahith Chong, very inexperienced whenever he gets the ball. I think Elanga is way ahead of him. At 23, we should offload him elsewhere.
For the seniors overall, I'm quite disappointed with Varane. Not sure whether he's not match fit or still with injuries. He seemed sluggish and indecisive in distributing the ball forward. Hate it when he opted for backpass. Maguire seems to be better than him now. For Telles, I don't think he can challenge the LB position, now that we have Malacia.
VDB? Just like Telles, squad player. Sorry to say, McFred is one-two step ahead of him, only by small margin.
zidane anti-press while savage like his father, an avid tackler but with better passing range... garnacho was ban from the tour because of discipline issue, the guy who late for meeting twice.. garner should be have a spot as squad player this season...
the rest non performers all can sell... CB wise i think jones tuanzebe and bailley can sell dy... maguire i doubt ETH will touch him at all... brandon william, awb, chong, telles and the 3 CB i mentioned just sell and get some cash back... varane has been quite bad during pre-season dunno why... last season before he injured, he is playing quite well under ole...
and vdb so far i reli cant see how to put him in first team... bruno and eriksen sure ahead of him if wanna play two 8 or one 10... cdm he is not even at mctom fred level... no.6 he is not as energetic as fred... reli dunno where to put him..
