Condimentalist Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I only watched the first half but he was absolute quality. Yes, pre-season etc, but against good opposition, and everyone writing him off needs to have a word. He's got bags to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 People do it every year, friendly games aren't a good way to judge players, they're basically just training games, last night Mings was even joking about conceding three goals during the game, it didn't matter, can't read too much into it in terms of individual player performances good or bad. I'd make an exception for Young and Kellyman as as seventeen year olds they were playing well above their age group, so can take big positives from their performance despite being just a friendly. Hopefully Buendia can have a good season but this morning doesn't really tell us anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post villan-scott Posted July 24, 2023 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2023 Last night was pretty intensive and not played out like a traditional friendly in my opinion. I’d be happy to use last night as more of a barometer than the Walsall game for example. He was the best player on the pitch last night. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buendia's problem isn't ability, it's consistency. If he plays like that 7 or 8 games in a row, then people might stop writing him off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwivillan Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 First goal wasn't even the great touch and bodying the Newcastle player that was the best. Coming to complete stop outside the box took 3 defenders out of the game. Outstanding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could do with Father Romeo Sensini ourselves.. 17 caps for the Vatican over 75s. Looks after himself, drinks only very, very fine wine. Can climb two flights of stairs unassisted, needs only one nun to help him get out of a chair. Would be a fantastic signing. Goes down very easily though. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyVillans Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Hopefully Diaby can get on the end of his drilled passes. I don't think Watkins has the ball control to receive them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Superb performance this morning. I think he's been hitting the gym to toughen up and get stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zab6359 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) Like DL he's been a slow burner for us. This could be the season he really clicks and with better players ahead of him this season more of those passes will have someone on the receiving end converting them, can feel a big season ahead for him.

PaulC Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Looked really good, stronger as well so less likely to be knocked off the ball like last season. Hopefully this will be a big season for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think both he and McGinn have been doing upper body training over the summer, as they completely dominated the Newcastle players they were up against. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHY Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I’m not his biggest fan but he was very good last night. I liked the fact he was putting more weight on his passes, too many times he under hits them that lead to counter attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
