buzza Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Botman has looked pretty good. Maxi can only attack, his defensive rating on Fifa has gone down to -34🤪 lascelles is the opposite to maxi. longstaff looks a yard too slow. dont like pope with ball at feet anderson… meh callum getting a right fight from the big lad miggy=god  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaztoon Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Very good run out this.. almiron and trips are different level, longstaff looked decent and botman is a rock.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if that’ll be a common theme if he plays this season.  Yeah, I hope so. Think it would work really well, because it will allow Trippier to really get forward and put some quality crosses and passes into the box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pubteam Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Now we just need schar and big Joe back in and lascelles as far away from the starting lineup as possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPL Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Who is their right winger? Looks frightening and left Targett in his smoke a few times! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Pretty happy to be level tbh, I thought we struggled a little bit with their movement and pressing, but we did pop it around nicely in parts. Bruno was a bit off the pace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 1 minute ago, POOT 2.0 said: A predictable lack of sharpness, poor ball retention, Pope should get further into the corners of the net (cracking goal though) and no midfield shape.  However, Trippier going forward has been passing top notch (rusty defensively) and both Almiron's goals have been great.  Lascelles is doing fuck all. He might be popular in the dressing room, but that team is slowly going. Hate that he's captain. Need a new captain.  This 100% Trippier, vice Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Lascelles cannot be a starter next season and young Billy Elliott looks a bit overwhelmed, but then we lack so much in midfield on the ball which is a key area we need to improve on! Wilson still often isolated too. ASM off the ball needs to cut out the huffy shit and I think Pope has looked very poor, even though it was a great free-kick, his positioning wasn’t the best. Almiron on fire and Trippier and him look lethal down that right. Botman looks steady as fuck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Just now, David Edgar said: Want to see us carry on buy with Big Joe for Anderson. And A.N. Other on for Lascelles. Think we'd really start to take the game to them.  I'd put Joelinton for Longstaff, we know what he can do. Give Anderson another 20-30 minutes with our first choice midfield behind him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Good half, that. Benfica are the better side but we're showing promise. Both of our goals were very well taken. Â I really do hope Almiron can keep this up, his biggest flaw since Rafa left is his lack of belief in himself. With the increased confidence will come increased decisiveness, and as I've mentioned, he should get plenty more chances with the players we now have, capable of using his movement.

Pata Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 I didn't see Anderson touching the ball or doing anything else for that matter. No idea he's playing if I didn't see the lineup beforehand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s very like going to the Emirates, you think it will be a class stadium, but rather boring. Mind having Champions League and other trophies in a line at the museum entrance is something to be envious of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhog63 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 3 minutes ago, Lenny said: Whilst I think I'm going to remain realistic in terms of the level and volume of players we can bring in this summer, my tolerance of the poorer quality players is going to be quite minimal. Harsh maybe, but with increased ambition comes increased expectation. Â Mistakes such as Lascelles recklessly abandoning his position, and the likes of Longstaff being forced into errors as we've seen are going to tire quite quickly. Â Thankfully, effort is no longer all we can expect, and those that aren't good enough rightfully should and ultimately will be removed.

KaKa Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Guys take it easy on Lascelles man  He's a meat and potatoes guy. He'll be useful when we face more direct teams with aerial threats.  I've been happy with his comfort on/with the ball. Doesn't look as terrified and panicky as he used to anytime it came near him.

Coffee_Johnny Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Is it ‘friendly’ number of subs or ‘competition’ number of subs. Longstaff, Anderson, and Lascelles could do with a sit down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
