Tiotes looks ropey

We didnt push out enough. But Haidaras positioning for the wide man is consistantly awful, gives him loads of space for no reason.

Haidaras side again man. So fucking obvious.

Fuck sake

Cmon lad!!!!

Keeping the ball well

Anita hurt

In the lead vs a good side. Im well confused by this feeling.

Superb from Obertan and Wijnaldum!!

Hows he saved that

i'm a fan but he's been s***, that said colback offers f***ing nothing either mind, just farts about looking like something without doing anything the sooner mclaren realises he can't play them both the better Hes been pressurising them in midfield like nuts, you not noticed they've really struggled to play it through the middle? He's also dropping back between the defence as a ball player & keeping us possession. The midfield's been fine imo

And to handle a f***ing ball! Absolutely s*** imo. Everything is coming down their right with Cedric, Haidara's a bit slow aye. Good player in there though. He got a pen & crossed an assist in pre season. Another for an actual match today, its not coincidence. He can be decent going forwards, cant ignore that.

This. Enjoying watching us

Again proving we need him here until he loses it, not before. As if Mitrovic would have missed that. Nothng special about that goal except tons of luck that the ball simply looped over the goalkeeper due to the deflection. Anyway, HT: decent start of the campaign. Still need good positioning, good strikers make their own luck and all that

Mbemba man

Should score there, great win back of possession

Line up looks OK. Bit concerned he see's us as having two options, normal/attacking. Dejong should always be in the side for me. Relatively optimistic atm

Lovely finish

Not said it doesnt work as a formation, but with the players we have & where we are at currently. We are not fluid enough to involve one man upfront, he is just isolated constantly & our ability to cross the ball and pick him out is awful.

You're talking about our squad being bang average then advocating us signing Charlie Austin... He's shown he can score goals for bang average sides. We look 3 or 4 weeks away from where we should be pre season, Soton could rip us to pieces next week. He was one of the best strikers in the league last season before Kane started going nuts. Had 10 in 9 at one point, including goals against Man City, Arsenal & Southampton. He's a lot better than many people think for me, top striker in a poor side last season.

One upfront doesnt work for me, we've not scored a single goal from a striker in 7 pre season games bar a penalty. Goal v gateshead = Penalty. Goal v Club Atlas = Sissoko on the break Goal v Sacramento = Own goal Portland Timbers = Aarons two special goals & cross for Wijnaldum Sheffield united = Backpass for Wijnaldum & corner flick on for Dejong York = Corner flick on. Borussia = Nowt. So only one goal in open play that didnt involve Rolando Aarons in 7 matches from Sissoko on the counter. Id rather we had two upfront & occupied the centre backs better, the forward is always isolated otherwise.

Saylor at fault for the goal mostly for me.

Taylor looks a long way off the pace

Not sure why they would be, Mclaren shouldn't have been allowed anywhere near this job to he honest. Yep I agree, bit massively early to start slating though.

Just started watching. Have we managed to bring the one upfront into the game atall? Or just isolated them like last season & most of pre season.
