Seville - Sat 16 July 12:00 BST

[boone]

At least now we have the options in center midfield where if PEH is making those mistakes, he gets benched.

 

[1882]

Sevilla player deliberately went to run in and barge Son and not play the ball, no sympathy for the Son-ic boom he got to the face

Oh please God don't say that's what people are calling him now?!!

 

[mummy]

The first half

Yeah, but I haven't missed the American TV ads.

 

[Stov]

Dirty cunts.

 

[CarrieFi]

Blame everyone else

 

[DeadlyDefoe]

Hoijberg is not fit for this game.

TBF they all look behind the pace, i dunno whether its the heat (assuming sevilla more used to it) but our boys look leggy, the climate or the hardcore training? Or maybe both the hot climate and the hard training taking its toll, some of the boys like hoj have only been back one week, others 2 weeks due to their international commitments

 

[CT1882]

Hojbjerg having a mare. Looks stiff as a board out there.

Lucas makes it very hard to pass out from the back, doesn't show for the ball at good angles.

Dier and Romero been decent.

Nothing game so far.

Agree with this. Davinson has had some Davinson moments, coupled with some really good play. Sess has been the better of the two wingbacks but he’s not done much either. Son and Kane very quiet-especially Kane. Richarlison hasn’t stopped working.

 

[1882]

Activate the shithouses

He's already out there....

 

[Furball man]

Yeah, but I haven't missed the American TV ads.

You missed a beaut about Colon lining

 

[bonaspur23]

Those two turnovers from PEH… it’s not like he was put in poor positions or didn’t have any options… it was just two extremely poor decisions that you can’t make at the top level. It’s preseason and all but we have other (non winks) options at midfield now

 

[DeadlyDefoe]

It was only ref for the blow he gave with the elbow

 

[DeadlyDefoe]

You missed a beaut about Colon lining

Rinvoq up!!!

 

[Mrs Perryman]

Managed to watch about half an hour of this and not much to write home about, TBH. Disjointed performance, which is only to be expected. I'm not going to get too excited/ disappointed, whichever it goes. This is the time to experiment and work on tactics in a 'real game' scenario.
Not going to be able to watch the rest of the game, so will watch it later.
Enjoy

 

[Hampshire Spur]

Would still like a midfield maestro in our team. Cooling play down and dictating play. All too rushed that half.

 

[Luvf]

Alright that was some proper European preseason football lol. I really like what Conte is doing in defense. He settled our defense lastvseason. He is going to add some spice to it this season.

 

[DeadlyDefoe]

He's already out there....

 

[Maureen]

Sevilla side look more coherent and seem to have a clear patterns of play.

Let’s the so called pre season everyone said conte didn’t have last year makes a difference this year. However our playin general has been slow and lacking any real invention. Love to see us the front more taking the game to teams.

 

[Airfixx]

Blame everyone else

Hahah.... That's utter BS.

 

[The Swellhead Spur]

Would still like a midfield maestro in our team. Cooling play down and dictating play. All too rushed that half.

Wtf is that?

I think the Skipp/Hobby combo brings out the worst in both of them.

They need to be paired with a technical partner, luckily we now have Bissouma and Bentancur for that.
