Match Day Thread 2023 Pre Season Matchday Thread

I've said before, I doubt he has the discipline for this.

 

diaz on for jota.

szobo gets 60.

Alisson
trent konate vvd robertson
szoboszlai jones gakpo
slaah nunez diaz.

 

that should be our third. thats off target from free header from Nunez off a free.

 

If that's all it is, should be back for main season.

 

subs on 60mins.

Elliott for gakpo
Tsimikas for robertson
Gomez for Trent

 

szoboszlai is such a cheater.

I am well happy with this signing. this lad is exactly what we needed.

 

Diaz absolute class.

 

Our formation

Alisson
Gomez Konate VVD
Jones Tsimikas
Elliott szoboszlai
Salah nunez diaz

Every game tsmikas has slotted to 6 is the inverted full back.

 

Looks like gonna be lists of fun going forward and then rely on Ali to to save us when we’re cut open at the back

 

Subs on 75mins.

VVD off. Quansah on. Alisson made captain.
Szobo off Clark on
salah off doak on.
Jones off Mcconnell on.

we got 75 out of 4 and 60 out of 3 so... not awful

 

doak.. skins the man and picks out clark.

poor contact and saved.

 

terrible goal to concede. 3-3.

alisson basically palms it right out, never seen him do that before. two players free bascially. fre eheader on free then free player taps ball in.

 

nunez fails to get the job done.

Diaz excellent and bascially gifts him the goal rather than hitting it.

nunez gets it under feet.

we will be having pens now.

 

I have to say, for a player of his age quansah is quite a good player.

Doak does the man again and then drives it at nunez.

open game at the end with so many kids in the middle.

 

ball over top and crashing shot beats alisson.

game over. 3-4

 

alsison 3 saves in a row.

and ref blows it off.

entertaining game that.

 

Mito will be pleased.....

 

4th looked off to me, but the game was meaningless by that stage.
Though it would have been interesting to see the kids take pens.

 

I thought 2 of thier goals were offside. certainly the first one in the first half was a good half yard off

It was a fun little game with a side of a higher level that forced ours to live on thier wits.

We got 75mins in some, 60 in others and will likely then see those players starting v chelsea. The nunez, diaz, jota little group are likely to all be the first subs on or off.

Szoboszlai will be good for us.

the same old weaknesses are clearly evident.

The basics of set piece defending at the far stick is quite worrying as its basic to fix.

The wide open rb channel will leak goals all season.
