Pre season games compared to other clubs

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Anyone else concerned about our pre season schedule?
We have 3 games booked - two in the US (Green Bay and Houston) and the Community Shield v Liverpool.

Looking at this list here of other club's schedules, most have 5 and Liverpool and the rags have 6.
I'm hoping at least 2 more will be fitted along the way this month.

Where is your club playing this summer?

New signings, new managers, new kits - fans will get their first glimpse of them all this summer as the Premier League prepares to go global once more.

If you look back don’t think pep likes to have many games. Prefers to train more which naturally makes us unprepared for the first game of the season but benefits later on. Except the players to be knackered after 60 mins in the community shield like last year and same in the 1st game.

Other teams need more pre season games to try and get as fit as possible for running around like headless chickens when they play City

Makes a change to be accused of taking a 'holiday' during pre season instead of in season

It’s a case of trusting Pep and having confidence in what he’s doing. I’m sure that if he wanted us playing more games, that’s what would be happening.

There are also behind closed doors friendlies that can be arranged at short notice. There were the internationals that gave them match fitness; there is no need to overwork them.

Isn't that after the season has started?

Isn't that after the season has started?

Yeah, and utterly pointless, but I very much doubt any/many first teamers will be involved.

Not sure why we're always happy to suck the cock of one of the clubs that constantly moan about us.
