Oh where do you start? It was supposed to be a "friendly". They played it like a cup final, we played it like it didn't matter, (first half anyway!). I have defended Kolorov in the past, but he was bad today, but he was not alone. Having said that, any back four will look bad if they are not protected by the midfield! Giving that job to poor George Evans was not a good choice. Was this Manuel saying to Tixi (or however you spell it!) "I need defenders, not wingers!" If the manager does not buy the players, how else can he give the buyer a nudge? That today was not the team that will try to win the league this season, but the worrying thing is the level of back up players. As someone else has already said, I think our starting centre backs should include Denayer without a doubt (I would start him with MDM to bring him on faster). He looked so composed today, as opposed to our captain who just looks to have lost it all together! Again, it is pre season and I don't believe we can ever play as bad as we did in that first half, so onwards and forever upwards, I still believe we will win the league and this year easily, no last minute drama's. Stay true Blues, keep the faith!
