JonBez comesock Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 We pressed well we look very very fit Some nice play at times enjoyed watching what felt like a proper match We are desperate for that little extra creativity and firepower Same squad gets us 10th two or three quality additions - we have to push for Europe and 7th place - I think it’s very achievable - and we will do it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Both longstaff and elliot seemed way off the pace of the game, this probably made bruno try harder and resulted in a few "forced" mistakes. Both shelvey and Big Jow looked much more comfortable on the ball and also looked much more zoned in on recovering the ball. Joe was majestic in his first twenty minutes, was like have an adult playing against a load of ten year olds!!! I liked Willock as well, added a bit of zest and great engine! Honestly thought the defence in the second half looked ten times better than the first half performance (Botman not included). The passing was much better (shelvey helped this a lot- he impressed) and less panicked (lascelles). Both the youngster and krafty played a lot better than targett and trippier, although trippier got up the pitch a couple of times and helped the goals. Calum didn´t play his best but i thought the centre half (big lad) who was marking him had a great game and got away with murder (crap ref). If calum gets injured we are Funked! (no back up tbf...). Resumé: We 100% need another striker in before window shuts. this is a no brainer! A right midfielder cum striker would be perfect, but if Miggy kept this form up in the league we would be laughing... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahoneys Tache Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Just watched 10 minutes highlights and there was not one second footage of ASM doing anything with the ball. Was this a fair reflection? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off the ball though he was very lazy and whenever touched did his usual stroppy in a huff taking forever to get back up shit, it’s like he personally finds it offensive to even be touched. Just get back up and get on with it you planet soft cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am beginning to think that if someone offered us 35M (standard price for any bugga these days) for him, I would snap their hand off and buy someone who would put the work in and offer some more attacking prowess. they don´t have to be "great to watch" just efficient in what they do and their contribution to the team...

Lush Vlad Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 (edited) I only caught the second half and the goals. Decent play and finishes from Trippier and Almiron. We still look a bit toothless in attack. But I was impressed with the intensity and the pace we tried to play at. I know it's pre-season, but we seemed to attempt to build from the back and pass about a bit. At least that was the case in the 45 minutes that I watched. It was against proper European level opposition and in front of a decent crowd and all. So all in all, it was quite positive and what I saw was fairly promising. But it did just further highlight the need for a couple more attacking options. Edited July 27, 2022 by Lush Vlad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Just to add, I was impressed with Bondwell. He looked decent on the ball, pretty quick and fairly assured at both ends of the pitch. Willock and Murphy both looked rapid, but the quality was perhaps a bit lacking at times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahoneys Tache Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I was wondering if it was just iffy highlights because there’s a lot of comments about how we need to replace miggy because he lacks end product but uproar when folk suggest ASM isn’t pulling his weight. ‘Selling our best attacking player is daft’ etc. not sure he is our best attacking player.

Coffee_Johnny Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 No Joelinton or Shelvey for Atalanta. Might, depending upon how it goes, prompt a bit of reconsideration of the need for another CM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Thanks for the highlights. I saw the other ones that didn't show our first goal properly. I didn't realize it was one-two with the ball going wide to Trippier from Almiron himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
