A comfortable win in the end. We took our early chances well, but in reality we should have scored more. Tonight was a wonderful opportunity to build up a healthy goal difference. It was goal difference that cost us dear last season. I thought Saiss had a terrific game and Jimenez looked sharp. Neto, before being substituted, covered just about every blade of grass in a display of selfless running.

It was good to see Nuno giving new signings an early run out, something he has not done in the past. Sheffield United will cause many teams problems with their physicality and movement. Man City will pose a much sterner test next week.
