janpawel Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Seen how the likes of Tottenham, Chelsea etc have played some elite teams in this pre season Reckon it's much of an advantage to them, getting tested against opposition? Our last 2 pre seasons seemed to go pretty well when transitioning to start of the season I must say, I'd love to see us against Bayern or Madrid in pre season!

Not really sure it matters much either way and you can’t read too much into pre-season results. So long as the conditioning, tactics and all of that jazz are correct and the off season has gone well otherwise. I’d say that’s more important. Didn’t we have an amazing pre-season under Allardyce results wise. Then we were utter shite after 3-4 games into the season. Got a fair few Spurs mates and I’m sure they had a few seasons in a row where their pre-season results against big teams were impressive. But the season proper was anything but!

Granted Girona didn't put up much of a fight, but on paper, albeit not "glamourous" in the way a Juventus, Lyon, Atletico etc would have been, both Girona and Brest were very very solid tests of where we are for the start of the season. Don't think a team that has played against Bayern or Madrid has any advantage over us in terms of preparations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprising that both are in the CL this season… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
