That would've been funny if it went in

Great from Julian. Almost got to Haaland.

 

[MellowJoe]

Just turning it on here..

I thought that with us as winners of a treble I could possibly relax a little watching us play this game, as really it's just a start of season friendly. However I'm getting wound up as usual. We've had a lot of possession early on but no cutting edge like we'd get with Kevin. I love Bernie but his scurrying and ball retention is no substitute for Kevin's one touch passing. Maybe try Phil in the second half for Alvarez.

I expect well see kovacic become a little more adventurous as he learns his role.

 

[homerdog]

Horrifying!!!?
what the fuck are you on?

RagCafe mostly, I suspect!

 

[malg]

Has Haaland had more touches than Grealish??

 

[jimharri]

And this is a pre-season friendly!

It's gonna be horrific in here on big match days :(

Yep. Par for the course on here. People seem to have forgotten how so-so we were in the early part of last season, and how that campaign turned out. Ah well.

 

[Chi-town blues]

rodri is world class

 

[SouthernPlastic]

Needs Phil in

 

[Don Karleone]

Great from Julian. Almost got to Haaland.

Yep, need more of that from him today.

 

[ElMago_DSilva]

It's a pre season friendly you gimps. Have a word.

 

[stan bowles]

All our shots have come from Rodri so far.

Best outfield player for us so far. Ortega best overall though.

 

[we are the east stand]

Can tell we’re about 2 weeks/a couple of games behind these in fitness and match sharpness.

Foden for Alvarez at HT.

 

[m7mcfc]

I'm not a fan of the match thread but I thought I'd have a look today.
Jesus the doom and gloom. I know why I don't come here now and I'm off. Later you negative feckers.

 

[Stato]

Played Alvarez

 

[gill_undrhill]

I am guessing 5 mins

 

[Gumzy97]

Just need a creative player, everything else is perfect.

 

[Claytop]

Walker lol

 

[Blackley_Blue]

Is £100 million Declan Rice playing?

Cos

a) I've not heard the figure mentioned
B) I don't think I've seen him touch the ball
