The Italians can't help themselves. Even in a friendly they play for time.

What a weird post, this tour is important and not just financial point of view.

It's been utter shite imho

 

[burning blue soul]

Do Milan realise this is just a friendly and nothing actually riding on this game ?

We are a big scalp. Lot of kudos in beating City for their fans.
Even in a friendly.

It will be nice if some of blues also treat this game just as that a friendly match.

Yet some on here treat it like freaking champions league final or something

Welcome to the match day thread.

This tour has ben a total waste of time for Pep and his coaching team from footballing point of view.

Has it? Played the 1st team players available minutes and watched a load of kids and probably started making some judgements.

Win both games 5-0 and above still applies

Losing is the new norm now we are in league 2-:)

Shame no one was running there. Good from JWE

 

[Bluemoon1979]

Positives:
Haaland scored
Bobb looks great
McAtee scored
Good assist from Hamilton
Lewis looks like a first teamer

Negatives:
Phillips
Our academy lads in defense doesnt exactly look like challenging for a place in the first team squad anytime soon

I think Doyle has looked good in the second half

As a group, yes. But to be fair, throwing one of them in with established players probably would yield better results given the support around them.

Wilson-Esbrand has looked better in the final third compared to last week.

Red has been poor clearly had a brief of Webb
