JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Ironically wonder if Diego or even Bogarde would have done a job today. Pau is still thinking about summer Paella or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awol Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 1 minute ago, Leeroy said: We’ve had a whole summer to sort out the problem areas and not done anything. Signed a left back who isn’t starting over Digne by the looks of things and our attack looks shocking and we still haven’t signed an attacker while selling Diaby and Luiz. It’s a shambles frankly going into our first CL campaign. We didn’t sign Maatsen to be back up did we? Use some common sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 1 minute ago, HalfTimePost said: Too much change and too much wheeling and dealing. We had clear issues at the end of last season. We have not fixed them and rotated too much of what was working elsewhere in the squad Always a concern with high levels of turnover. However bad we were at the end of the season, it was largely only because of Kamara missing from our midfield. If we'd signed Onana and kept Luiz we'd be on. Unfortunately PSR exists and is killing competition in the PL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted August 10 VT Supporter Share Posted August 10 I think what we can say is the Rogers up top is not something we should ever try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We look noticeably weaker than we were last season. We've West Ham next Saturday and we look anything but prepared for a first game away at a ground we generally do dogshit at.

MaVilla Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Dortmund are just on a completely different level to us, and their press is insane. Also, i dont see why people are laying all the blame on Pau, he is our main outlet and he is being given the ball, but nobody is showing for the ball and we are leaving him isolated, then when he does make a pass the pers who receives it, cant keep the ball for more than 2 seconds before lsing it also, or passing it to the opposition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briny_ear Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 1 minute ago, Lerner's Driver said: To me, exactly the same thing is evident as it was last year, we want to play out from the back but we struggle under a high press and so we end up sitting deeper and deeper. Although that second goal had nothing to do with playing out from the back and everything to do with not being strong enough on the ball and concentrating having won it in our own penalty area.

stewiek2 Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Dear Pau God himself knew when to play it out and when to pump it into row Z. Watch his videos, you'll learn something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't look good this pre-season. It's a big difference Vs last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
