I think over the course of a dozen pre-seasons we're trying to build some sort of model city out of meaningless trophies.

Meaning us, not them. As if their limp to a mid-table finish could be considered 'really great'

He's fine as a third choice goalkeeper to offer experience in training and around the squad etc, but when the second choice is Elliot we've all got every right to be fucking worried.

Impressive: Marveaux, Coloccini, Sammy Good: Tavernier, Cabaye (briefly), Simpson OK: Ryan Taylor, Gutierrez, Ba, Vuckic, Obertan Poor: Cisse, Harper, Tiote

Clever improvisation from Cabaye

What sort of ref gives a booking for that in a friendly

Sammy had another good game, there. Oberton (TAN) on.

Harper looks knackared

ul Sammy

Two rather avoidable 'second yellow' red cards in a friendly tournament

Tav has been my pick of pre-season, but that pass was absolutely shit.

Harper went down like a tree being felled there

Ryan Taylor, into the goal!

Great block from Tavernier.

HUGO!

aaaand an irritating deflected equaliser from 2-0 to 1-1 in seconds

Correctly ruled offside.

Ba: 'you fucking wanker' That's a red card in the PL. Palm to the face.

Ba loves a pen miss! At least he converted the fucking rebound this time

Tiote has looked worse than Smith at times tonight.

Pardy Rockers in the house tonight

Simpson got absolutely done for pace there just before the whistle.

Tiote needs to just play the ball first time instead of deeing Parker pirouettes all over the shop and hanging onto it for ages.

Sammy did class there, Demba looked a bit leggy.

Coloccini and Tavernier is a nice little partnership in the making.
