Got to factor in the heat and humidity today as well. The whole team looked fucked after about 25 minutes.

All those double sessions, the heat and against a team full of players in the middle of their season. Would have been tough for all.

It's actually pretty good prep.

That's the whole point of these trips to hotter, humid countries...
Well, not the WHOLE point! There are other factors in this particular trip...
:levywhoa::sonpoint:

But remember when a few teams went on warm weather trips during the mini winter break...
Oh how we laughed!
One of them went unbeaten for months and nearly won the fucking league!!

To be fair a club that is out of form taking their medical staff and players to the middle east and then come back on fire is a little suspicious.

He looks like our best player never mind midfielder atm.

Has a bit of everything and oozes class. Hes going to be one of the best players in the league/world. No doubt in my mind.

looking very good so far. looks made for the prem too, gets stuck in when he has too. could be a beast in a couple years.

strangely enough i thought the best bit about him today was when he gave the ball away and stuck it on their player to force a goal kick. he wanted to make up for his mistake and showed intensity and aggression to get it back. thats pride!

half the fannys we got dont have that intensity and aggression in them, they get bullied out there.
 
Looks very good. Not everything he does comes off, but he keeps trying, very confident lad. Very physical as well, will fit the Prem like a glove.
 
Guy is very impressive Physically impressive for 18 probably has helped playing 1st team football against men. So skilful and confident. For me he has been our best player on tour

His comments on the midfield three:

"Obviously they are three very young players in that midfield set up and as you said, the first time they had played together. But yeah, for the most part I thought they handled it pretty well. I think Lucas found it tough physically. It's a very demanding role in there and it's going to take us a while to get him up to speed from a physical perspective, but you can see the quality he has when he's on the ball.

And Archie, he's what he's shown the whole time. He's been very composed, he seems to understand the game really well and for the most part, I thought he was taking up the right positions. But again, physically I think we're gonna have to build him up. I thought Pape's running is just unbelievable. He's a benchmark for us in that midfield area.

So, yeah, I think the three of them - considering they're so young and that's the exciting bit - if we keep pushing them and improving them, they're going to be very good footballers for us"

I hope I am wrong, but it seems like he is overemphasizing physicality, in my view. When you have technically gifted players they need to play.

Any manager that would have not played Iniesta, Xavi, and / Busquets because of their physical limitation is suspect to me.

Physicality is important, you'd get eaten alive in the Prem if you're weak in duels.
