Seriously though, players who had a positive training camp would be keita, tsimikas, Elliott. So far so good for vvd and gomez and matip. Jones has not stood out me, the front 3 of mane,salah and Jota look reasonable but I'd hope to see another more in a real game still. I doubt anyone has changed any minds really in the management group
Doesn't. Tsimikas in particular should have shown everyone he is more than capable of playing in our side and providing a good bit of ability on the ball.
err as one of "everyone" i was already of that opinion and moaned quite a bit last season that Robbo was being run into the ground when we finally had decent cover - or at least appeared to have from the tiny bit we saw of him .
Well he did get covid and did get a knee injury so he never got his chance. I think he will runs robertson well this season and thats what we need. Taa could do with a kick up the arse behind him just to keep him going but williams etc just won't be that
That tells you what the back 5 will be day 1. Not that the front 3 won't be that either. Midfield is the issue.
Athletic club look well up for this. They are pressing up and giving our back line a nice sharpening up session
