RowlattsFox Posted 2 August 2016 Share Posted 2 August 2016 I originally was looking forward to this but now I wish it wasn't happening. I don't know if its the fear of a battering or just because I want us to focus on winning on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grewks Posted 2 August 2016 Share Posted 2 August 2016 No neymar, pique, alba, rakitic or iniesta. But guarantee they will be fit for the first game of the season. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not seriously telling me that we have a slow squad when fully fit (you must note that we'd only played two games prior to this). Schlupp, Gray, Vardy, Musa and Mahrez must be some of the quickest sides in the league. So unless you mean that they were quicker in terms of brain (they moved the ball around sharply and were always in position) then you've got a point. But I highly doubt that that is what you meant.

'Sides in the league' are not, well at least were not last season, sides at the 'top of the game'. PSG were a side quicker in every department, both on the ball and off the ball. You fill find this season, that at the top of the game, players are just a lot quicker than you realise. I saw no evidence against PSG that our speed was anywhere near their levels.

I saw no evidence against PSG that our speed was anywhere near their levels. I'm not sure if you're trolling or not. Firstly, we're nowhere near as good as PSG. They'll probably be in the Champions League semi-finals this coming season. Secondly, we've proven that we're more than quick enough for the top sides that we're actually going to be playing. Thirdly, we were missing our fastest player and have yet to reach anything close to match fitness. PSG don't play in a tough league, they're able to rotate with absolute ease and their squad is huge compared to ours. We might well have won the Premier League, but we're quite a way off the elite levels of your PSGs, Barcelonas, Real Madrids and even Man City in terms of squad size/depth.
