Hopefully Pep has got into our defence this week , Ake is a good player but we need a fully fit Stones alongside Dias and Cancelo and Walker to defend far better than last week ,we were also overran in midfield becuase Rodri looked shattered not sure were Phillips fitness is at , but would consider starting both to protect our back four.
A point would be an improvement on last season's first game , on the Community Shield performance wouldnt be surprised if its September before we get our act together.

Anyone got a recommendation for where to watch in San Sebastián please?

'Bar Sport' sounds like it ought to be showing the match, this place sounds very good for food anyway - maybe have lunch there today and check out whether the game will be on tomorrow?

Good shout this while we’re hugely undercooked to start the season, getting extra legs in midfield tomorrow at a team who’ve played about 8 pre-season games is a must really.

That entire midfield has legs, good post!

As long as we remember we bought a striker and we need to get the ball to him we will be fine !

Start John Boy, Pep. John Boy will never give in, he’ll fight to the end.

Can’t get motivated for this, the cloud over Bernardo is weighing heavy (:

0-3, the Viking wields his sword

West ham have had a poor preseason by all accounts

Add that they have a bit of a CB Injury crisis and conret wasn't registered in time

Think we need to start fast while they're sluggish, can't afford to go behind here when we likely aren't gonna be firing on all cyclinders/slightly out of rhythm
