Id say there is very little chance maatsen wont be no 1 lb here. From what i have seen of him he looks pretty good at both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted August 7 VT Supporter Share Posted August 7 Again after early promise, we just don't seem to be able to work any openings. Look pedestrian going forwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think to get the best out of Maatsen we might need Konsa at RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Maatsen will spend much of his time in the opposition half with us reverting to a three at the back - in the same way we did when Moreno was raiding up and down the left.

supermon Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Thought we look much better today, passing has been much better and this is the best we've played so far in pre season. Not overly fussed on their equaliser. More happy that the movement is good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted August 7 Moderator Share Posted August 7 The thing I'm taking from this first half is that Ramsey/Rogers/Bailey gives us an option if we want to give Watkins a break. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted August 7 Moderator Share Posted August 7 The movement was good, the midfield two looked very decent and I think Bogarde had a brilliant half, we look sharper and keen and the front three did very well. We should really have had another goal of two and there are lots of positives to take from that half. We still look too open at the back and though Bogarde had a good game and Gauci looked a lot more capable than in his previous appearances, it'll be great to see Martinez and Konsa back. We're short of depth in key areas, but I think we've gathered a Plan B option for times without Watkins that could be effective if we're desperate and the first team should be strong. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooJung Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Bogarde playing like he belongs in the squad. Looks mature and comfortable. Good lad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaBrum Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 A lot more confident for next season, after the USA performances. Mind you, in the USA we were getting to know each other and working on getting our sharpness back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
