PhillippaT Posted 31 July 2016 Share Posted 31 July 2016 IMO, it's just showing that our 'b' team attack isn't really good enough at this level...? (If we needed any confirmation of that?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegaffa Posted 31 July 2016 Share Posted 31 July 2016 I think we are lacking a good pacey CB, especially for when teams counter attack us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admit that a team that got to the quarters of the champions league, they have battered everyone for years in their league, of course their a class above us!

I won't judge him too much yet but I don't see him fitting this system, it would need to change to see the best of him. - Amartey is a player I can't quite put my finger on. Seems very hit and miss. - Defending for the second goal was poor but I'll blame rustiness. We wont play 4-4-2 anymore, its almost a certainty. Perhaps not a first but eventually.

AjcW Posted 31 July 2016 Share Posted 31 July 2016 I'm still enjoying it and still some positives. Chilwell apart from goal 2 looks quality. If if we'd gone in at 1-0 I'd have backed us to win. Probably going to struggle now. be good to see some positive changes, as others have said I'd say 5 of this XI will start vs Hull so I wouldn't worry too much!

WinslowFox Posted 31 July 2016 Share Posted 31 July 2016 PSG look a yard quicker than us all over the pitch at the moment, after a very slow start from us and falling behind, we then started to play how we all know we can and only for a great save and a great reaction header that went inches wide we would've deservedly been level, then PSG just sucker punched us at the end with a quick counter attack goal, I wouldn't say we are out of depth or getting hammered, we just aren't at their fitness level at this moment in time, but it is a great learning experience for the lads and one I'm sure they will learn and improve from as they always seem to do, lets not beat ourselves up.

Legend_in_blue Posted 31 July 2016 Share Posted 31 July 2016 Didn't catch the first part of the game, too early for me, yet what I've seen looks promising. PSG are a decent side and we've been caught out at the end of the half with a decent counter. Shame because we looked pretty decent just before that and half the team was unrecognisable at first. We're nowhere near full strength, why are people over reacting? It's a friendly ffs. Chill out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urban.spaceman Posted 31 July 2016 Share Posted 31 July 2016 - Playing the French champions, who won their league by 30 points last season and are more or less full strength - Two full backs who are brand new to working with Wes and Huth. - Two new CMs plus Leo who rarely started last season and has always lacked that cutting edge - No Vardy, Musa, Drinkwater, Albrighton, Fuchs, Simpson - This is only our third game of pre-season EVERYBODY CHILL THE FLIP OUT.

Callabinho Posted 31 July 2016 Share Posted 31 July 2016 My worry is that we're not playing enough games in this pre season. Yea it's nice to take part in something like this but we haven't got the same class of players as PSG who won't really need much of pre season other than fitness. I'm worried we might be slightly under prepared this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Facecloth Posted 31 July 2016 Share Posted 31 July 2016 Some of the comments on here Its a friendly ffs. It's about fitness, it's about preparation. It's about ironing out mistakes that we'd rather not make in a couple of weeks time. It's about trying out different combinations that probably won't be our competitive starting line up, like Mendy and Amartey together. It's about getting the likes of Hernandez and Mendy used to playing in our extremely settled line up. This is not sign we're going to struggle this season in the CL.

Neither x are City, nobody is going to give their all...For the penalty, Armatey was just unlucky. City started slow, but then started to play some good football. Not forgetting, the formation and the players, its all new, there is no routine yet. PSG have their inbuilt fluency already ticking, they just beat RM a few days ago.

It'sblueupnorth Posted 31 July 2016 Share Posted 31 July 2016 Some of the comments on here relax people it's a friendly, there's no intensity from either side it's just PSG have bags of talent, they murdered Real Madrid less than a week ago.

Besides, their league is a bit shit, to be honest. Apart from Lyon or maybe Monaco, no other team even comes close to competing with PSG and their spending.

Lovejoy Posted 31 July 2016 Share Posted 31 July 2016 Had that Amartey header gone in to make it 1-1 I suspect a few of these replies would read differently. Man Utd were thrashed by Dortmund, does that mean they're doomed this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
