Good intense game for the players. I wish we had more central control and we definitely need more goals in squad too. Second choice defenders werent that great and pope wasnt great but it's a friendly happy overall

Was that him with that chance? Away from his positioning and general competition for the ball (as someone else said) being the standard of a competition winner, that's a couple of really good chances that he's totally fluffed.

 

Absolutely no where near PL standard.

He offers nowt, hes fucking abysmal.

Really enjoyed that. Was a cracking run out and the fitness of the team looks really sharp. The ref being diabolical turned the game a bit silly in parts, but it just added to the spice. Can’t wait to get into the season now.

Well that was class, so entertaining. Ref was a complete tosser but that added to the spice. Exactly what you want in a pre-season game though, tough hard, needing fight and desire, some decent quality, while also working out who's not going to be up to much cop, need to stop the individual errors but think we'll be in for a decent season.

If he hates you lot, goodness knows what he thinks about us then!

 

What I meant is: he usually favors Benfica a lot in games that are worth nothing as a way of eliminating the idea that he hates Benfica. In important games he always pushes us behind as far as he can.

Yeah Wood is shit. I'm not at all convinced he contributed that much to keeping us up.

 

His signing coincided with Howe starting to turn things around, so yea you're probably correct.

Schar and Botman is quite good but Burn or Lascelles having to come in worries me, neither are good enough.


Burn’s fine man

S'pose Maxi at CF every week would've been fine.

They were way better nothing undeserved at all.

Yeah they werent. They had the better of certain periods, but they where certainly not "Way better" then us.

is anyone keeping track of how many goals Dan Burn is responsible for conceding? must be near double figures and he’s only been here since January…

Only the three? (Chelsea, Everton & today) ??? 

 

Do people think Burn is shit now? Thought he was great for the most part last season, perfect back-up.

Chill man, we just played Benfica for goodness sake, and they're further along in their pre season.

 

Can't believe you're already throwing away everything Burn did second half of last season. Now he's not even good enough to be a sub for us? Wow.

 

We can't not ever concede a goal you know. Come on.
