Preseason 2014

[Modric THFC]

Feel sorry for the front four, who are out to impress, but we can't get the ball to them. We're lacking proper possession of the ball because we're outnumbered in midfield.

 

[Baleforce]

Not good defending that set-piece. Got to tidy that up for WHam.

yep, crosses from deep are 100% of west hams game plan

 

[Mumorn]

Eriksen had had a quiet preseason really.

I don't mind tbh. I'd rather someone was quiet in pre season and save it for the real games as opposed to have a hot Darren Bent pre season and score 10 goals all year.

Agreed. Sandro and bentaleb would have been good, Sandro the mop up and allow bentaleb to create.

holtbys hair is gonna get drug tested

 

[Kingdawson]

Is Walker injured again?

 

[the dza]

Don't like Bentaleb and Holtby as a pair. Tim nice but dim would be slated to f**k for picking a combo like that. 1 of them with a natural defensive player alongside them would be better. I guess they don't want to rush Sandro.

 

[Kingdawson]

Rose has been the standout player.

 

[Modric THFC]

Is Walker injured again?

Hes had the whole summer to recover. He obviously isn't right. I've a bad feeling he'll never get over this injury.

 

[the dza]

Another good run across the line from Lennon, unlucky.

 

[the dza]

Not a bad half overall. Schalke look like they aren't as fit as us yet, so another difficult game to gauge our progress.

 

[Baleforce]

how can a Lino get an offside so wrong at this level?

boateng, good to see he's exactly what we sold him as, crap

 

[SpurMeUp]

Rose has been the standout player.

What will the fervent anti-Rose phalanx do now? Rose will have rash moments (possibly not as many as Hotlby though) he's still maturing as a player, but he has looked good.

Because Lennon probably runs about 3 yards in half a second and the lino doesn't get to see everyone frozen when the ball is kicked like we do on TV?

 

[Rossi22]

Yep, Rose 100% been our best player. I guess Davies will play the 2nd half.

 

[Kingdawson]

Dier looks good btw.

 

[SpurMeUp]

Dier looks good btw.

This. Was going to post the same. He has what it takes to play in the first team. Very excited about him. A Levy / Baldini steal.

 

[Hully]

Rose has been the standout player.

Do you think? He's have very little to do defensively. He's had loads of the ball going forward but has yet to do anything with it.

I'd say Lennon has been the standout player.

Lamela on the other hand needs to pull his finger out, the game just passes him by.

 

[Kingdawson]

Jermaine Jenas actually knows what he's talking about when he talks about us.

 

[Bullet]

Jenas on the TV picked out Holtby as having a good game because he's been involved a lot - that is basically the opposite of what most of us generally think i.e. doesn't hold position, just charges around.

Just got home, tell me more about Dier's game please?
