Fiorentina - Sunday 3rd August @ 3PM

[adam]

I Really hope he isn't going with Hamza in that position every week. The bloke has proven over the years that he isn't good enough. 

[JimJams]

It's a bit strange seeing how riled up people are getting as though they thought some of these players were not still at the club.

 

If Coady was in that starting line up, yeah, that'd be a surprise.  But seeing shit players in the team shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.  We haven't fxxked them off yet, so he's going to play some of them.  You can drop any of those shit players, and the player that comes in is going to be moaned about as shit, because a lot of them are.  We know this.

Absolute chaos at the food points today, half the amount of fans, massive queues. What a fkin mess

Hamza has impressed at training apparently and likely to become new club captain. Just something I’ve heard on the grapevine. Good for him if he does, has decent experience in this league tbf!

Its like rinse and repeat with some of these players, regardless of who's in charge. Half that team still need offloading 

[Pliskin]

Disappointing and concerning.

I can actually see Marti’s thinking with this line-up. 
 

Vestergaard as the passing CB, Okoli as the athletic CB. 

 

Skipp and Soumare even though I’m not keen, balance wise is about the best we can hope for atm, but CM needs addressing badly. 
 

Fatawu and Mavididi with their 1 vs 1 ability on the wings 

 

New striker of course needed, but Ayew’s hold up and link up play has been better than Daka in pre season, so I’m content with his selection. 
 

Good line-up in some areas, meh in others. 

Any sort of positivity is not welcome .  Mods, have a word!

They changed the payment stuff?

Team will not change much at all due the lack of transfer activity both in and out.

 

But the team will probably be weaker than today, as Mads and Bilal appear to be the most likely sales.

Let see who right at the end of the window

That’s the disappointing thing. They keep replacing the shit managers and they waste games playing the same shit players.

Yeh new software and absolutely clueless staff. 

[coolhandfox]

Coady started against Koln and has left, so maybe just wait and see.

[RowlattsFox]

Hamza is going to be here for ever isn't he. Soon as you think he might leave a new manager comes in and we drop down to his level. 

 

Such a hit and miss team. Great to see Hermansen back, bilal/fatawu/Mavididi is quite exciting. We'll ignore the rest.

Will be interesting to see the lineup today. It should in theory be the side that starts next week (injuries permitting) and might give us an insight into any players close to moving on. My guess is we will line up like so;

 

Stolarcyzk

 

Choudhury

Faes

Nelson

Thomas

 

Winks

Ndidi

 

Mcateer

BEK

Monga/Mavididi (depending on Stephy fitness)

 

Daka

 

4/11 right 🤣🤣🤣

Looks like a shop window team to me. That or these are the player's who need to stake a place in the trimmed squad. Hopefully last chance saloon before we get down to business. 

More like bargain bin, except there wages mean there not bargains

What is that referring to??

[Nick]

Hamza Captain? Any truth in the Burnley rumours then?

[Mark]

Preparing for the season with Jordan Ayew as our number 9 is just a disaster, we've somehow outdone outselves again.

I’ll go one further.

 

These players aren’t shit for this division.

 

They are actually quite good.

 

They’re just disliked. 

[Md9]

Ayew won’t be able to keep up with mav and fatawu in any counter attacks . Don’t see the point in vestergard either play Nelson he is the future 

[Shane]

No Jayden Joseph
