    It wasn't until the 78th minute when we got an offside decision that I realised there were actually lino's officiating this game :bandit:

    We have conceded more than a goals in this preseason. Not very smart.

    I thought it was an alright game. the issues are absolutely obvious and still there so nothings changed to my mind.

    I'm hopeful the forwards can gel and play more and carry us through.

    I really like Szoboszlai. he's a proper little cheat as well and a big strong lad with a good bit of pace and fitness.

    the balance is off. I don't like this set up.

    Oh, dear... now that Colwill has signed a new contract at Chelsea, ambitious owners would say "Right, let's hijack the Gvardiol deal at City as a priority". As I say, ambitious owners would do that. We'll probably put in a last moment loan deal for Muguire. :emoticon-0138-think

    That was a fun game. The attack looks really good but defence is a worry. I suspect we will be like 16/17 …

    really hope we get a a proper DM / ball winner and a LCB. Robbo is going to struggle massively this year I feel.

    Id hope the owners won’t be doing any kind of bidding for players tbh. Should be left for the manager and recruitment team to sort out which thankfully seems to be what’s happening at lfc.

    Don’t think Robbo gonna have anything to do this season if we play with no RB as teams will just constantly attack that huge gap anyway.

    Robbo is accustomed to playing as a full back who presses high. In this system, we need him to be less aggressive and hold the line better.

    Even in a back 4, he started to regress over the last year. I’m not his biggest fan but I think I prefer to have Gomez starting ahead of him.

    I love the Robertson bashing as the next target as the priority target has finally gone.

    literally not one part of today was down to robbo.

    he did get an assist though.

    As LCB. As Trent moves higher and central, our back line shifts across and Robbo now tucks into a back 3

    Watch this clip - Robbo runs all over the place. Another prime example was the CL final Vs Madrid where he needlessly pressed high up the pitch and we end up conceding
