I'm probably in the minority but I'm a little underwhelmed by us so far (and yes I know it's only pre season). I think we've distinctly lacked creativity so far, and I'm far from concerned we are good enough at the back to prosper should we not score at least 2/3 as heavily as last season. Johnson looks to me like he's got worse based on last night, while Enrique still clearly has some way to go before he returns to his best (if indeed he'll ever get there). Allen doesn't look like he's kicked on any to me either, and Stevie G obviously isn't getting any younger. Of the new players Markovic is going to need be much more aware of his duties and work much harder without the ball, while Can looks mostly positive.
I'm gradually though beginning to wonder if we'll scale last seasons heights.
