It doesn't matter what you pre/postface that clause with, it simply should not exist! Goes to show how good Torres actually was when he had to put up with service from the likes of Voronin, Jovanovic and N'Gog.
Would you prefer me to use Pacheco, Suso, Morgan, etc in my example instead? Pre-season means precisely ****all. Does anyone genuinely think we'd beat Bayern so convincing if it were a competitive match?
Wouldn't say no! Closest player we could have to Suarez, gutted we didn't get him. Shame his wife was a bitch
Well something was certainly wrong with them, they have played 6 games without a win. Could be trouble in the camp.
Arsenal never picked opponents who would properly challenge them though did they. Arsenal needed the cup to keep the fans happy. Bayern aren't fooled by that ****e.
I put a bet on after we beat Juventus, I had the feeling by that point But no, not at all going into the season. No way we'd turn Bayern over in a competitive game. Not saying we wouldn't stand a chance of winning, I'm saying if we did it wouldn't be so convincing. Aka; pre-season games are what they are. Edit; If we play like that for the first few games of the actual season, I'll think differently btw
I actually think we would stand a chance. Its playing the like of Hoffenheim in the qualifiers and Anderlecht or similar that we would have more difficulties with
See my last comment. Never said we wouldn't stand a chance, I said we wouldn't batter them like we did
I honestly dont think weve put together one performance yet. I think theres a lot in the tank whrn the full team is put out A) weve not put the full team together for 90. It was close v bayern but not 100% B) we have trained 2/3 times a day in presason... including game days. C) we have not bought what we could buy. So.... i think if we hold onto coutinho we will be decent and we will see if lallana is missed.. he might well not be.
Couldn't say tbh, I've not watched our pre-season games bar a few highlights here and there. Stopped watching them after Pacheco and Suso looked so promising before being so so disappointing.
