What the hell kind of team can we put out? Assuming Colo & Tiote aren't risked..
Harper
Gosling, Tav, Taylor, Enrique
Marveaux, Abeid, Vuckic, Jonas
Ba Shola
Subs: Forster, Krul, Dummett, Lovenkrands, Best, Smith
Unless Jonas plays right back?
Smith has no interest in playing football anymore? I think it's the complete opposite, he loves playing he's just shit at it. If you were earning 60k a week or whatever would you drop down to about 10k a week to play in the Championship?
Last season pretty much to the day we lost at Norwich. Don't worry about it lads. Liverpool got dicked 3-0 at Hull and they've actually spent money, bet they feel pretty stupid.
Can't wait to wake up in the morning and read a tweet from Ryder saying Tiote's been carted off to hospital or something, that's pretty much the final straw.
Well we lost but I won't lose any sleep over it. Decent work out if nothing else. Obviously shouldn't be losing to that ilk of opposition but ultimately these American sides see this sort of game as an audition and were more committed from start to finish. Also we scored what looked like a completely legitimate goal which I'd have to see again to fully understand how it could have been chalked off, but whatever. Bed time.
Above average: Tav, Enrique, Colo
Average: Tiote (on everything except passing), Taylor, Gosling, Jonas
Poor: Best
Shit: Forster, Lovenkrands, Smith
Think playing on astro has caught a few out in that the ball zips around a lot. We looked better as the half went on at least.
