I really didn't understand our defensive shape today. We're playing a 3 at the back but we were playing it in a way as if we were playing a 4 but had a man sent off. The amount of times either one of Kristiansen or Justin were so narrow, the wingers were fullbacks was ridiculous.

It's giving these vibes...

Recently I think we've deployed a dickheads only policy.

Few out in Lens tonight.

Anyone had the tickets delivered yet?

Odd behaviour.

Yes from me. Wouldn't have been that excited by it 2/3 years ago but this is our level now.

I'm not completely against it as it feels like he's more of an Okazaki type player but he can't be the only one.

Based on the last week of transfer activity (or lack of) I'm not very optimistic at all for the season. It's clear we need some quality and creativity but it's looking unlikely at the moment.

Don't think it's quite the player we need at the moment. Very similar to Winks.

The Italian national anthem is pure mustard.

Absolutely awful coverage from the BBC. Commentary of Max Whitlock on the pommel horse whilst the picture is just some Chinese fella doing back flips.

Create a thread purely to key items of news. First 2 pages is utter guff (I'm part of the problem I know!). Can we limit who can post?

Seem to be lacking that bit of quality in the final third.

What have I missed?

It's pre season. It's just about fitting people in the team to get fitness.

Refreshing to see us playing the game for what it is rather than passing it around for the sake of passing it around.

You know it's the school holidays when you see some of the state of the driving on the motorways/dual carriageways for the people that never go on them. Tootling along the outside lane of the A46 going about 35mph completely oblivious to the fact everyone's undertaking them.

Already gone to Lyon.

Decent enough player but not sure he's Premier League quality. £10m would sort us out for FFP.

Also Declan Rice. Was genuinely awful at the Euros.

Not in the world class bracket but always thought Aaron Ramsdale was crap even during his peak at Arsenal. Seems as if everyone has caught on now.

If it's the same money from Roma then there's no chance.
