OutByEaster? Posted August 1 Moderator Share Posted August 1 We've played Dendoncker and Onana at CB and not been able to take Torres off - I think that tells the story of our squad. We need at least one and possible two CB's. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPAngel Posted August 1 VT Supporter Share Posted August 1 Glad Openda has gone off. I couldn’t handle Taylor calling him Mpenza anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 What we've missed most in these pre-season games is a proper striker in the Watkins or Duran mode, with such a player I think we would have seen better from us in the final third 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan95 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Not looked after the ball anywhere near well enough, even with 11. Too many passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srsmithusa Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 When we play dendonker and bogarde in the back, i suspect unai is giving up and pissed. Carlos is good as gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan95 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Can hear Unai shouting. Sounds like he's giving Bogarde instructions in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted August 1 Moderator Share Posted August 1 I'm not going to lose a lot of sleep on how well a Maatsen, Dendoncker, Bogarde trio hold the defensive line - I think it's fair to say that we're unlikely to see it again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wezbid Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 13 minutes ago, LxYoungAVFC said: Ollie and Ezri should have been flown out to the US. They barely played in the Euros, and I can't imagine that training with the England squad was more intense than the individual training regimens we saw on social media from our other players. I get where you're coming from but they both need a week or two mental break from the game as much as anything. They need some form of actual rest and relaxation regardless of minutes for England. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan95 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Tempering expectations a little might not be a bad thing. I'd rather this than looking fantastic in pre season and then getting thrashed 5-1 opening day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted August 1 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted August 1 So our CB options are Torres, Konsa and Carlos - I don't think we can reasonably expect anyone else to be involved in the opening months of the season. I think that rules out the chances of Konsa being able to continue at RB which takes something away from us tactically and we're an injury or suspension away from being in a very difficult spot. With the depth we've got elsewhere, this sticks out like a sore thumb, we desperately need one and I wouldn't be against us going out and buying two CB's. Playing without a centre forward is also hurting us and with Duran on the outs, w'ere desperately short there too. We've bought some good players, but we haven't had a good window - we've got big holes in the squad and the clock is ticking in terms of getting new players in and settled. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
