We do look a lot less physically fit. Our defence and midfield is normally a lot stronger. Our second string obviously not up to the standard of the players they have replaced. Come on, let's have a goal to give the fans in our shirts in the ground.

There’s absolutely nothing to worry about. I can only remember a couple of times where Pep made multiple substitutions and both times we immediately went to shit. It’s not going to happen in the league unless we are cruising to victory in a game.

Nice goal, quality corner by Gomes who has a good delivery in him..

 

[Mayor West]

Best side in the world again!

 

[maurizio]

Yes!! We're back on for the treble next year. Brilliant header from the captain..

What do you want people to say? An observation doesn't instantly make you a "flapper". I know friendlies don't really mean fuck all but to me this kind of tells me our squad depth ain't quite up to it. A couple more need bringing in definitely.

People need to remember, it's a pre season friendly. Nothing more than that. We lost the Community Shield last season and the rest of the campaign didn't turn out so bad, IIRC. Is today disappointing? Of course. Any defeat is. But a bit of perspective needs to be applied.
