That looked nasty for Yedlin, never like to see that. And Toby is second best centre back, after Jan of course!
In a game where our defending has been a shambles and yet Toby doesn’t come on means he’s off for sure. Shame
WC fatigue was always going to be an issue. There are non HG senior players who have had the chance to front up today and spare their colleagues this game. They have failed to do so, with no allowable excuses whatsoever. If was manager I would be telling all of them that this month they are playing for their slot in the CL group stage squad.
A victory hooray!! But bloody hard work against a very poor side. Hopefully just post WC rustiness......
2-1 FT. Mixed first half, **** second half and an important three points. We'll need to improve rapidly though, as that was just nowhere near good enough. Our ****e preseason may be to blame, but that excuse will only last so long.
First game of the season 3 points is all that matters. We are notoriously slow starters so I’ll take the 3 points however they come.
Nice to see Amos come on...don't be shy son get stuck in COYS....3 points in the bag...time to enjoy the rest of the weekend Ohh and I got a perfect in the Prediction league...sorry folks
Hugo, jan and deli Sissoko, Eriksen Kane well it is August The others, work in progress. Aurier is not a defender, play him further forward, big dave good in places, poor in places. Eric, wasnt ready after the WC.
