biggs Posted 1 August 2017 Share Posted 1 August 2017 bad lineup bad formation and some not so good players will pretty much give us the result we're looking at. If Shakey thought he had something here then dear me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it isn't a reflection of what we will do im real games. I am sill however disgusted. How are the splinters from all that fence-sitting?

Can't say Iborra has exactly set the world alight. He's been our second best central midfielder tonight. Overshadowed by James but obviously much more involvement than club legend Kingy.

Then look what happened. Yeah but for a wrongly ruled out goal we'd have finished 8th and got to the quarters of the champions league. So what's the point?

ealingfox Posted 1 August 2017 Share Posted 1 August 2017 Although seeing as Liverpool are beating Bayern 2-0 and we only lost 2-1 to Liverpool we are basically as good as Bayern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitchandro Posted 1 August 2017 Share Posted 1 August 2017 1 minute ago, Foxy_jim said: Yes but it's 3 up front technically as in 433, like 90 per cent of teams play, it's not negative really, it's just that we are shite. But if we play 2 upfront at the Arsenal we will be on minus 11 goal difference. But 4-3-3 is just 4-5-1 in possession. Since we're a low possession side playing 4-3-3/4-5-1 is not going to be conducive to the quick turnover in momentum we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnglishOxide Posted 1 August 2017 Share Posted 1 August 2017 People losing their shit over pre season friendlies We play these teams not because we expect to get confidence up by smashing them all 5-0... It's for fitness, formation experiments and probably a way of introducing complex training drills/targets into a more competitive environment (as opposed to 11 v 11 within the club). I'm sure Mongladbach will be the game we switch on and into competitive mode at about 90% whilst Arsenal will be 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not? why shouldn't we expect to beat Luton, MK, Wolves and Burton? What we going to get out of the players giving it there all? tired, injured players is that what we want? Its not like there is 3 points up for stake and they are going to be criticised after this, the players couldn't give a shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have seen the opening games we have, haven't you? We are playing Arsenal next week. At their place. On TV. With the world watching. Nope, definitely not chilled at all Yea and I bet you we don't turn up like this because its a proper game, not a shitty friendly who no one even cares about including the players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wortho Posted 1 August 2017 Share Posted 1 August 2017 Benny, King, Ulloa, Musa etc will be our squad players. Imagine this lot when we get suspensions/injuries. We need 5 quality players or get relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we look unfit, haven't experimented with formations and I'd love to see the training drills that are resulting to this. i agree on the intensity arguement though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
