Might be a little tougher than I initially thought.
No idea.
Maddison is clearly dropping deep to try and develop play. Biss is reasonably defensive. Sarr is just running around.
We don’t look especially well drilled.
I don't know what he sounds like so I will take your word for it.
My only interest in this game is watching individual players and seeing how they do.
I couldn't give a fuck if we lose 10-1.
THIS IS A FRIENDLY!!!!!
And the season starts next week. We look well off it.
In fact, scrub that. We look exactly as we did from Christmas last season, awful
When was the last time we looked good against a 'better' side than us?
Woolwich away? This friendly won't get anything out the way. It's just a taster of what's to come home and away against 6 or so teams.
Ben Davies has been caught out on too many occasions. Spence is no LB. He keeps coming to the centre and leaving the wide man free. Bassouma.......what can one say?. Deki is working hard but is definitely not a No9 or No10. Son, some believe should be a horse and should run Box to Box at the age of 31. Porro should be made a RM, he sucks at defense. Madison and Sarr just aren't cutting it.
And most of all, Ange is cutting it. His system requires players fitter than Conte's system. At least with Conte's system, if you got caught out, there was always someone who covers.

NO.
THE FUCKING ISSUE IS WITH INSTRUCTIONS TO PLAY SUICIDAL PLAY-OUT-FROM-THE-BACK NONSENSE.
IF WE HAVEN'T GOT THE TECHNICALITY TO DO, THEN FUCKING DITCH IT, OR AT LEAST MIX IT UP!!
It's so maddening because we obviously spend a lot of time working on how we are in possession, attacking patterns etc. What we refuse to realise is, that good work is neutralised when you keep getting killed by set pieces repeatedly.
It seems simplistic, but surely we should be looking to maximise our good aspects by tidying up our bad aspects.
No it hasn’t. And far worse it doesn’t protect the back 4 - as it didn’t do for most of last season when we had often had our 1st choice defence.
Happy clappers like you unfortunately gonna be scratching your head come October “But, but, but we looked so good in those 1st 10 games last season. ”
(Hope I’m wrong of course and you get to call me and others moaning pricks)
Bayern have sussed Ange and he has no answer
It is only a friendly but it is very worrying, we have no midfield and are making the same mistakes as we did last season. Johnson yet again has been anonymous only really Dragusin that showed any real form. We just do not play for 90 minutes it wouldn’t surprise me if this finishes 3-3 but that just masks the problems
That number would be zero.
Exactly
We're conceding goals which almost any team could score because we're not defending well and we're fucking up playing out from the back.
We don't seem to be offering that much going forward which is bizarre considering the space and chances we're giving the opposition.
Came out of traps fast but as game wore on we were were exposed. Only a friendly but a bit concerned. Dragusin agent saying all year about unjustified his client is not playing. Noy been impressed with him tbh.
They've run out of food in most of the concessions before half time.
Nice one Levy, you cunt.
