Pre Season Thread

Dirty challenge on Gallagher in the box. Get the lads off the pitch.

Good to see one of their ultra dirty defenders pull a hamstring.
 
The Getafe coaches have GTF on their top, and it makes me think Get The F*ck back in your coach and go away, you will never be invited back again

Tel has arguably been our best player in pre season and has put in two lovely crosses and a great pass to get Tonali in, I’m questioning now if people are calling him brick based on online narrative or from using their own eyes.

Once again we've played kangaroo fc and 70 minute training ground friendlies. nothing to write home about. once again PL is different level. we cant scream we want CL and compete at the top but be content with Richi and Tel starting. they MUST be replaced
 
I actually thought it was a good game for preseason. Not saying we put a a great performance, but with two weeks to go it was a good physical match against a good technical team.
The players needed to fight abit on the pitch which will help for the preparation.
 
I'm pleased it was 70 minutes as I thought it was a poor game, the only one who benefited was the referee who they probably picked up yesterday from the job centre.
 
Lots of OTT reactions online from this game

- Lots of good possession from us
- Much better passing, lots of quick, on the floor stuff
- Low block and physicality of Getafe good workout for us.

To the players
- Tel double marked most of game, got better as game went on, could easily have had 2-3 assists, one pass to Tonali from wide was exquisite
- Gray did well, his defensive reading is top level, be interesting to see his development into a 6 eventually.
- Tonali does a lot of work off the ball
- Moore struggled out wide right
- Richi had a Richi game, probably did score (ball crossed line), did some decent stuff defensively, put in a few decent passes in-between his usual frustrating stuff (still had a better game than anything from Solanke in preseason, which is a worry)
- Bergvall usual, pushing forward looked good, caught out position and losing the ball a couple of times.
- Not a great game from Gallagher, but good goal

Think we need to keep in mind

- Not close to first 11, Fernandes, Porro, VDV, Udogie, Kudus in this side would have made huge difference.

That said, RW, RB (if we plan to sell Spence) and CF look quite light
