duo Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 They were playing in 38 degrees - not be doing that again this season. The humidity in Japan is something else. It was a PR tour and it has done its job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 1 minute ago, The Prophet said: How did Kelly get on? Probably a little jog, then a sprint followed by pretending to head the ball before taking up his position I would imagine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverThere Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Friendly so whatever but if Isak gets injured we are in the same situation as last year. Wilson is completely unreliable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee_Johnny Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 (edited) After time to reflect, I thought there was some positives to take from the game. Liked sone of the movement and incisive passes over and through the middle; mainly first half. I was curious re what we’ve been trying structurally/positionally. Felt a bit ‘Foden-England’ish at times (fuck knows why he wants to try that like). With a wide player drifting more centrally (Barnes first half) to play more as a 10. Created a fair few opportunities (against a much slicker mid season side) just let down by final touch/bit of guile. Barnes in particular unlucky not to score. Tino and Hall were very high and were caught out a number of times. Not digging anyone out, but I thought Joelinton, Tino (last three games), Barnes (as mentioned) were all a bit off their game. Guess it is what pre-season is for. Was excited to see Harrison and Sanusi (after read about him when he was in Japan squad). Both showed occasional glimpses but, unlike others, I haven’t seen anything which justifies the excitement/hype yet. Also thought we really missed Little Joe/someone consistently progressing the ball through the middle. Biggest bonus was relief when Isak seemed to shake off absolute clattering by the ‘keeper.

Holloway Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 On that showing Sanusi looks a bright prospect at just turned 17 and Alfie had a few assured touches,looks a number 10 in the making. Miggy looked lost, Murphy back to his frustrating worst and Longstaff aint been doing any shooting practice at all. Solid debut for Kelly, looks easy on the ball Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All three need to be shipped out. Almiron now (personally I would shift Longstaff now also but Howe won't) and Murphy next year.

nufcjb Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Would have been a different result if we had scored one of the early chances we created. Still, I'm getting 2022-23 season vibes looking at how good we played early on. Just need to get into stride. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 5 hours ago, Cronky said: The refereeing could have been more objective, but we were well beaten. I'd not seen Sanusi before. A real talent, by the looks. Harrison also looked promising. I'd forgotten how bad Lewis is. Until half an hour into the second half, I'd forgotten he was on the pitch. He never seems to want the ball. Lewis didn’t come on until 64th minute so a bit harsh on him 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely fucking tragic if even one fan decides against going to a game because they don't feel safe thanks to racist idiots Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
