Valencia pre-season friendly Match thread.

Morgan and Benalouane partnership.

[EnderbyFox]

Swap Diabate for Gray and possibly Iborra for Silva and I reckon that’s the XI for the United game, frightening. 

 

We need Vardy and Maguire back ASAP

That graphic is an awful mess, couldn't they have put the names in some sort of order

 

Nacho

Maddison

Diabate Ndidi Iborra Albrighton

Chilwell Benny Morgan Ricardo

Kasper

[danny2997]

Strange to see no Ulloa, Slimani and Musa. Are they close to heading off perhaps? 

[Micky]

Where are Gray and Musa?

[Stevosevic]

Gray injured? Not on the bench

[Max Power]

No Gray for two games now and no word of an injury? 

 

Simpson, Ulloa and Slimani notable absentees... wonder if they are off

[Micky]

And Simpson?

[brookfox]

Centre backs and on the wings look weak to me. Could be a long season!

[Gerard]

I expected no Vardy or Maguire.

 

Some notable absentees there:

 

Slimani

Musa

Ulloa

King

Gray

 

Anyone know why?

Doesn’t fill you with preseason optimism, does it 

[brucey]

Bench is almost entirely kids, all the reserves can't have been sacked off at once.

[lcfcsnow]

Pleased to see Simpson out of favour, that performance at Spurs was the final straw.

Simpson & king played for the U23s.

Simpson's obviously behind with his fitness.

[roblcfc84]

Really surprised to see no Musa 

[EnderbyFox]

Gray must have an injury, we’ve not even managed to replace one winger yet there is no way we are selling another

Yeah agreed, thought he would at least make the bench.

Hopefully he's off. 

[Swarles Barkley]

Gonna be a long season if we don’t get in a winger. Ridiculous really that we haven’t got someone in yet to replace our best player

Cheers, would explain some of it

We shouldn't be going into a new season with Morgan and Benalouane our only available centre backs.

I think they've done it in shirt number order but no put the numbers up:

 

1. Kasper

3. Chilwell

5. Morgan

8. Iheanacho
10? Maddison

11. Albrighton

12? 16? 17? Ricardo

21. Iborra

25. Ndidi

Diabate was 33 - 26 is now free 

29. Benaloane

I think he only arrived back on Monday with Maguire and Vardy, so that could explain why.
