He has learned that Bobb is good enough to start games and possibly McAtee. We will need a full squad this season. It looks like Jack is back. Pep has also learned he needs to buy again because the other youngsters are not ready yet.I don't see what Pep will get out of this pre-season tour to take into the new season.
With so many players still not back until Monday next week it's going to be a patched-up squad for the community shield then let's see for the first game.
Also, I think is going to be a crazy week starting on Monday, Pep will see what players want to stay, getting loans for the young players on the tour, maybe some new signings.
Pre-season starts on Monday for me and Pep has 2 weeks to build his squad for the new season.

We have Guardivol, Ake, Akanji, Stones, Dias, even Walker who can play CB. They are all much better than Phillips.If Kalvin drops in at CB could Johnny become Rodders' midfield deputy?

Just incidentally. Anybody at the match, or watching that game on City+. You might have wondered what the fine piece of music was that was played as they walked onto the pitch. It was by Aaron Copeland, and it was “Fanfare for the common man”.
According to law of nature every berry has to ripe at some point .My apologies for not recognizing Halle Berry. Haven't seen her in a decade. Didn't expect her to still look that good.
Much respect :)

Looks a bit less fit than when she was snogged on stage at the Oscars by Adrian Brody (much to her discomfort, these days there'd be a real hullaballoo about it). But still very presentable.

We will have a scratch team until after the September International break and even then players will be at different levels of form, fitness & condition.He has learned that Bobb is good enough to start games and possibly McAtee. We will need a full squad this season. It looks like Jack is back. Pep has also learned he needs to buy again because the other youngsters are not ready yet.
The Shield is as relevant as the USA game agin Chavs imo !!
What I find intriguing is the roles some of the youngsters will play.
Bob Oscar,Savio,Rico Lewis,Callum Doyle,Mica Hamilton,James McAtee,BillyBob O'Really and Echeverri.
They may lack experience but they look fearless,confident and physically powerful.
The first few weeks and LC Cup games could be interesting and eventful.
Theoretically cancelo as wellPlus Doku Dias Nunes Silva KDB Alvarez Ake Akanji are all going to be back on Monday
Not Alvarez though he’ll be after the English lads and Rodri

Yep, from the little I watched yesterday, he really caught my eyeReally think Nico has a world of potential. Outside of how good Bobb has looked, he has been the stand out to me. Just 19 and with that size and skill, I'm surprised more fans aren't excited about him.

It's pretty huge. Flying from LHR to LAX, you are only about half way there once you reach the coast of continental North America.Yep. Whats that a 4 or 5 hour flight?
Like flying from the UK to Africa.

I think we have looked good pre-season, creating lots of chances, apart from our mostly teenage back four. We have certainly played without fear. When we get our defence back and everything clicks we will be formidable again.We will have a scratch team until after the September International break and even then players will be at different levels of form, fitness & condition.
