Sandrotastico

He's the Botman of Midfielders. Some debut!

What a team. What a Manager. Great start and the confidence we need for the next 2. Tonali, prime Italian baller there in the middle - one driven premium mother fucker that kid. Gordon was a top draw. Great start to my day! HWTL's!

People gannin on like Villa are prime time Barca. We have more than enough to beat this lot. Hope Tonali has a blinder. Excited to see him with Big Joe next to him. Happy for Gordon too. Not sure Villa have a Anderson, Wilson or Barnes to come on for 20mins if needed.

Watkins or not - Let's fucking have them. If we play to our best and the fans make it lively, we should beat these. I am looking forward to it.

Just managed to get it here on a VPN. Thought it was great, just nice to see the city I miss so much and decent fans talking sense about it. They're never gonna give it all away but just nice to have insight into our club and it running well It jumps around a fair bit though... Can't seem to please some folk lol. Seans is a good lad too!

Some of these knockoffs are absolutely horrific like, got to be said. Like something you'd win at the Hoppings. The crests look like they were drawn by Stevie Wonder and are 20% too small.

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.

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

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!

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.

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!
