Zaniolo has had 2 ACLs which have pretty much ruined his career - his form has been very average too

He played over 20 games last season and scored 7 times, I guess that's very average. But aye, I agree he's had injury problems.

Zaniolo is a massive injury risk

 

Chiesa looks like he might be staying with Allegri possibly using him differently 

And Tino isn't? Both are young enough to figure that out.

Zaniolo looks perfect for that RW spot. Thunderous shot too and a mate for Sandy

Very interesting option.

Thought overall he had a decent if not spectacular game. In spells, especially the second half he started to drop a little deeper and dictate the game a little more. He's clearer a very smart footballer, getting to grips with a new setup, teammates, and expectations of him tactically. I think he's gonna be a great signing, but I agree Eddie might transition him in to give him the best chance of success. Have a feeling it will be Big Joe, Bruno and Anderson starting against Villa.

That Sam Fender?

Watching this. Very patchy - lots of misplaced passes and transitions.

Back 4 bar Targett has looked decent - Targett does look a bit heavy and slow on the turn, slower than Burn dare I say.

Midfield is ok, Tonali hasn't done much tbh. Anderson is the pick of the bunch along with Gordon and Isak.

All in all, a pre-season game

fuck is targett doing? 

We've been woeful tbh.

There are thousands of blokes on Instagram posting amateur football goals and moves that are actually 1000 times better with the ball than Paul Dummett.

It's madness how bad he is with the ball at his feet lol

I was gonna fly red-eye to watch this from Oregon last night. I'm now glad I never did lol 

Ashby doing great so far  impressed!

Dummett is a joke

Sunday league...

The real deal this lad. Lovely to see a player at any age with such confidence and looking so comfortable on the ball. Lovely stuff! Saved us 50m.

Super impressed by the young lads. Miley is next level - some player we have there! looked like an international.

Great work out for the team tonight.

Anyone doing New Jersey on Friday?

Was thinking of heading over from Oregon, but struggling with work commitments. Newark ain't so nice, so I'm told.

I've missed Big Joe this summer. Smashing people in midfield

Miley is a talent, like! Confident.

Fucking NBA this!

Lascelles > Schar (joking)

Can't blame him for that one. Was a terrific save in the first place. Just got massively unlucky.

I blame him. Weak wrists.

Dubravka is wank - butter fingers.

At times Targett is a winger, Dummett full back, and Tonali a kind of sweeper/center halve/dm... very odd shape.

I think we'll win this 12-11

Nice composure!
