Yawn. Most pointless game in the history of football.
Why would I want us to lose ? I want our club and levy to show a bit of bloody ambition for once. Going into the season with 6 days to go and not making 1 single reinforcement is shambolic. Even more so, with the fact that our World Cup boys might not be fully ready come Newcastle. But it's ok, it's just 1 game ain't it? It's an utter shambles, no matter how you try and sugar coat it.
The context being that a side that went on to amass 100 points last season also lost to Girona in a pointless pre-season friendly. Why are you so obtuse?
Right in time for transfer deadline day!

#thfc Development squad players, Shilow Tracey and Jonathan Dinzeyi are in the first team squad to fly out to @GironaFCpic.twitter.com/MSnzusxGoM
Just like new signings.
Shilow Tracey has been described as the Development Squad's answer to Sissoko, often played as an AM, but like Sissoko is versatile.
Jon Dinzeyi is a relatively (for a young man) big unit of a CB, has had a decent season (and went on last year's US tour without playing), but possibly less well regarded by youth watchers than Japhet Tanganga, TJ Eyoma (who put in a very mature performance against AC Milan) and the year younger Brooklyn Lyons-Foster who are all CB's.
Ones to watch then...
looks like 433 :
Vorm (C),
Aurier, Eyoma, Davies, Georgiou,
Amos, Marsh, Skipp,
Nkoudou, Lucas,
Son
Aurier, Eyoma, Davies, Georgiou,
Amos, Marsh, Skipp,
Nkoudou, Lucas,
Son
Subs : Gazzaniga (GK), Whiteman (GK), Dinzeyi (CB), Tangana (CB/LB), Walker-Peters (RB/LB), Bowden (DM), Maghoma (CM), Tracey (AM/utility), Llorente (striker)
Same CM's as v AC Milan where Skipp and Amos made a very good impression, shame Walker-Peters isn't starting, he was MOTM v AC Milan.
A few comments on subs (I commented on Dinzeyi and Tracey on previous page)
Good to see Japhet Tangana on the bench, very decent CB although slightly shorter than most, hope he gets some minutes would rate him similarly to Eyoma who looked good v AC Milan.
Jamie Bowden is a similar player (and about same age) to Oliver Skipp and has done well for u18's whilst 17 year old Skipp was playing in u21's last season.
Paris Maghoma (brother of Jacques and Christian) is a CM, he's a bit inconsistent but when playing well is very good.
Looks like those injured on US tour are either still injured on being rested.
Remarkable that none of those players who played for England, Belgium or France are included, I guess all 8 have only had a day or two back - so no warm up games before Newcastle for them.
ochlol:
We do have strength in the depth.
The problem is nothing to do with 'money' - but more to do with the fact that half of our squad got to the last week of the World Cup.
