Judging Abeid on 1 game back when he had THAT back 3 behind him and then giving a clear pass to Colback seriously gtfo with that crap. He demand the ball, switched play, played it quickly, played some good 1-2s and was holding up well to many challenges coming in and keeping possession. Thought he did fine. Was more shocked at our inability to cross the ball to anyone numerous times. We had Little Bigi, Shane Ferguson and Satka playing back there. We weren't going to have a Clean sheet ever with that team.

His self confidence and desire to get by his man is brilliant. He was all over the place causing problems when he actually played last and was fit last season. Could be a special player.

Need to sign another CB and RW capable of being starting players.

We've literally only had 1 player stand out in the friendlies and that's Aarons ffs

Abeid's first game back since being hurt ffs

Sheeit

Not a slightest clue how that all lines ip

That cunt at palace would have wanted Tomkins again

1030 EST whoops It's tonight in my time zone

I'll watch it too for some idiotic reason as well. Mind it will only be 930 est

They are there to bond, work, and get themselves fucking ready for the season. When bigger clubs are playing Roma, first division MLS sides we play a Mexican league team, a USL team, and a MLS B Side. Lose 2-1, win 1-0 on an own goal...and?

http://www.steveblack.co.uk/ Read his About Page, he's been all over the world talking about motivation, leadership, communication etc.

Good, but why? What do you mean, why? Because I like reading about this type of stuff? "Driven with Steve's revolutionary approach..." - from his website, I'd love to what his approach is.

I really am curious to know about Steve Black's approach to coaching, motivating, and etc. Fascinated by this.

Abdennour would make me feel OK about Haidara as LB as he and Mbemba would allow us to push up and have 2 strong pacy CBs capable of recovering.

Steve Black looks like a legendary warrior

Mbemba + Abdennour partnership would be fucking outstanding. I'd spend 20M on him if that is what it took. He's built to be a class CB in the PL.

I'd sell Sissoko if it meant we were going to sign a top RW and use the Sissoko funds to help get the right one in. I'd also just love to attempt Wik-Sissoko as a central 2 and De Jong as the #10 - but in that we'd need Mbemba and another CB with a bit of pace as we'll be defending far higher up the pitch. LB, 2 CBs (1 being Mbemba), and a Winger and I'd be happy.

Hazard been eating the pizza

Why do I imagine he's going to try the Shearer celebration

I love him.

I can't even man. The video of in the club shop...the #15 Ferrerya shirt behind him :lol:

Portfolio allocation

If that was the line up I'd happily sell Sissoko for a decent wedge and find a better deep player to start next to Wijnaldum. Can't believe I'm saying that given up how much I used to rate Moussa
