All my pre season worries were confirmed in one game

Grabban - needs too many chances to score, and actually didn't think his movement was up to his usual standard either. Jerome was so much more of a handful when he came on.
Whittaker - actually played OK when he had the ball, but desperate lack of pace means he simply won't cut it in the Prem.
Martin - that straight ball he watched sail over his head for Murray to run on to was a carbon copy of several games towards the end of last season - remember both Bamford and Murphy running off the back of him when he literally had no idea where they were. Will be woefully out of his depth at this level at CB.
Johnson - will work all day but at this level lacks the quality and pace to play left mid. Get well soon Olsson.

There's not much else wrong and Wes, Howson, Dorrans and Redmond (who should have started) all looked very good.
