Kanj Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 For me our pre-season should be: - Kickabout with local side - Three-game tournament in Europe against at least one Europa League/CL-level side, otherwise top division sides at least - Two games against higher-end Championship teams - CL team at home the week before kick-off 100% agree. Would fancy a SJP tourney as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I think more appropriate for the club in its current state would be an annual Alan Pardew is a cunt tournament between ourselves, Charlton, West Ham, and Southampton. It would have the added advantage of not having to play games in Europe thus meaning we weren't relegated before the season starts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Atlas match seemed decent friendly and workout, not sure what the benefit of a couple of matches against non-MLS teams are though, particularly one where he's scared to play on the surface.

U2 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Williamson might call it tactical work, but he was just told to stop f***ing hoofing it. Would love it if all this information was Steve, Ian and co telling Willo to stop hoofing it in as many different ways as humanly possible "Keep it on the deck, Mike" "Don't go long every time, Mike" "Simple passes are on, Mike" "Shift the ball to team mates that are close, Mike" "Fucks sake, you massive hoofer, will you please desist with the bunting?"

The College Dropout Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Mike is at his best when he's just hoofing it. For spells under Pardew we would try to knock it about and Mike struggled so badly it affected his general confidence and made him nervous in all aspects of his game. It got to the point the crowd would basically urge him to just boot it at the slightest hint of pressure. He shouldn't be in the team but if he is, just let him hoof it.

The College Dropout Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 On a good day Williamson is a decent PL stopper. Asking him to do any more than that is asking too much of his already very limited ability imo. Hope he's sold nonetheless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

U2 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 A decent PL stopper can play a simple passing game. Next. Although I agree that it's best not to ask too much of players. Like say, asking a PL player to play simple passes under a modicum of pressure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he's sold nonetheless. Fuck that, any decent PL defender should be capable of controlling and passing a ball. If he can't do that I'd rather see him exposed for the useless fruad he is rather than let him be a coward and hoof it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can't do that I'd rather see him exposed for the useless fruad he is rather than let him be a coward and hoof it. It's so (un)funny watching s*** old Mike struggle to control a ball and put all his mental strength into activating every muscle/tendon/ligament/nerve needed to make a pass to a teammate. He's a vision of supreme concentration, putting his head down to reveal that lovely neck tattoo, turning his gleaming athletic torso towards the destination of the ball, before stroking it with the touch of a master. Makes it look like such hard laborious work the cunt. Aye he's decent alright Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 On a good day. He's been in teams where we've kept clean sheets against some of the best teams in the league. He's actually pretty solid for 3 or 4 games generalky, then it all goes to pot. I'm not really trying to defend him. I'm just saying it's not a good idea to ask too much of players. We did that with Scott Parker & Jamesa Milner who could've been a very handy players for us. Williamson ins't in that bracket but if he has to play, let him play within his limitations.
