So ITV think the Rags came closest to taking the lead, I guess rolling a ball across the 6 yard box to nobody comes closer than hitting the post.

Aside from a 5 minute spell when they put together a couple of half decent chances, it’s all been pretty comfortable. Be nice to have a bit more of a cutting edge, but that will hopefully come.
Like to see a bit more from Haaland - appreciate it’s not much more than a glorified friendly, but it would be nice to see a bit more energy/edge in his game.

Underwhelming so far. We look like it's just another pre season training game. A bit disappointed the rags are so poor as it's likely to be their only cup final this season.

It is a pre season training game mate.

Not a bad half and we have been the better side considering the side they have out.

Good to some see people writing the season off already. God I’ve missed the match day threads.

I quite like that the academy graduates still play in high kit numbers and don’t give a **** about swapping to a low number on the back on their top.

A lot of understandable rustiness from our returning players. Still we dominated the first half hour and Oscar and Doku both looked very dangerous. I thought all the kids have done well. Rico is having an exceptionally good game.

First time I’ve ever had to turn the volume off for a friendly! Jesus Christ McCoist would put years on you.

Wait until Savinho comes on. I don’t think a lot of fans realise what we have signed. At Girona he tore defences apart.

Looking forward to seeing this kid get a few minutes today..
But who to take off??

Bernardo for O'Reilly.
