New manager Avram Grant was delighted with what he saw from no less than 24 players, including Kieron Dyer, Luis Boa-Morte and Herita Ilunga.
Almost all of the players impressed their new manager with German new-boy Thomas Hitzlsperger in particular, impressing in a midfield role. Speaking of his new signing Grant said, “He is a good player.
“I said when I started here that we want good professional players that know how to play good football that can help our young talented players. You saw this tonight. Thomas did very well.”
