themightyfin Posted 4 August 2016 Posted 4 August 2016 I'll tell you what we don't lack...Fans moaning we are lacking after playing two friendlys against two of the best teams in the world. Get a grip.
st albans fox Posted 4 August 2016 Posted 4 August 2016 She will be back for Sunday - I know we can rely on you oz! bit of an issue for her being a yanited fan and all that ..............
Nick Posted 4 August 2016 Posted 4 August 2016 Whilst I'm presuming this is a Rachel thread, there are arguably a couple of other areas where I see some holes..... No pun intendeded. Hernandez is a centre back, Amartey appears to be a utility player, Chilwell is ready to be in a cup team but not yet in the the Prem starting XI, Mendy plays backwards more than forwards and King is not combative enough so..... We we still need a dedicated right back to compete with Simpson who needs more game time, we also need to sign a combative box to box midfielder to partner Drinky. After seeing Musa and Shinji yesterday I'm happy for us to spend all remaining cash on a Luan!
m4DD0gg Posted 4 August 2016 Posted 4 August 2016 I would say the thing we missed the most was the kante shaped hole in front of the defence.

Tuna Posted 4 August 2016 Posted 4 August 2016 Yes, liked Hernandez look composed and comfortable on the ball. I think we do need a right back however as Amartey is better used in CM.
Guest Posted 4 August 2016 Posted 4 August 2016 I think we lacked competition like Hull and Sunderland.
foxy boxing Posted 4 August 2016 Posted 4 August 2016 why is this even a thread for gods sake, we have played two of the worlds best football teams and got beat handsomly.they were both pre season freindlies to get our fitness up and test ourselves for the forthcoming season. people need to realise where we are and where we came from, we are not going to be world beaters overnight but we will always be competitive. i just wonder what peoples expectations on here are and whether they are fixing them to high.we can look forward to an exciting season and though it may not top lasy year we are on a great footing on and off the field.

Whoosh
Monsell1976 Posted 4 August 2016 Posted 4 August 2016 Cannot judge pre season games against two of the best teams in Europe. What we can do is understand we are inexperienced at playing in Europe, and they would have learnt that any minor mistake, can be punished ruthlessly. The team was mixed between those who we expected to be starters and those who have a battle to get in the side, or are squad players, who are not good enough to play in Europe , but will play in the domestic cups. What we have learnt is the team is good enough to give barca a good go, whilst adapting to European football.
