Genoa - Friendly - KO 19:30 - Filbert Way

[GrobyLCFC31]

Just a reminder: we’re playing a team in Serie A that’ll be miles better than anything we’ll play this season. 
 

Good watch so far, rotating nicely, some good phases of play and on another day Cullen and Braybrooke score and we’re 2-0 up 🦊

If Joseph is actually keeping Aluko out of the side, he must be pretty decent

Think he's more technical, Aluko is more powerful.

 

Think the fight it out over RB this season.

Is this a strong Genoa side? Not even sure if they are in seria a or b. 

 

Italian sides are usually behind the english clubs in pre season but its promising we've been the better side. 

Serie A.

Where's Alves

[LCFCJohn]

Shame we couldn’t have got Nelson out the door before this, if it is a bad one. It probably at least scuppers a move this window and guarantees losing him on a free.

Battering them

Off to get me a crate of Bier saigon after that advert!

Early doors but if he has another long injury lay off then he's probably not going to have loads of offers come the end of his contract.  Hopefully we don't find out and it's just a contact injury and he'll be fine.

Villareal. Malicious tackle from Fer Nino. 

I remember the tackle.  Couldn't believe it.. pre season as well.  Was along the lines of a Paraguay vs France challenge.. they were dirty all game if I remember rightly

Ireland?

[GingerrrFox]

It’s a good job we sent Sammy on loan last season because he would have shown his quality at Championship level if Marti had more bollocks and he wouldn’t still be here now to win League 1 POTS.

Careful you'll get people from the world cup threads claiming that Genoa deserve to be winning this.

[mozartfox]

If anyone has Matt Elliot’s dealer’s details, please PM me.  I reckon there is some serious stuff available.

 

Woyo man of the first half….

It's a good look for the statto's.  

We've had good possession stats plenty of times last season but the xG and shots were generally shite weren't they?

Don’t really want a crock signing a new deal just as a financial security blanket though do we?

Also Fiorentina turned out to be absolutely horrendous in serie A for most of that season

This is a much stronger side from Genoa in comparison to what Fiorentina put out

[PhillippaT]

Genoa City UK. Hmm is there a Leicester City ITA?

It risk and reward.

 

We gave JJ a new contract with an ACL.
