Just doesn't appear to be any chemistry between the players which I suppose is understandable with all the subs but it's still frustrating.
Another spectacular own goal from Howe.... getting schooled on a tour trying to sell the brand. There's a midfielder in their side that is far superior to Longstaff.
It's just a fitness test but it's not going to win any fans. Sean Longstaff is the worst player at the club.
Not a very good promotional experience for the fans then. We go over trying to break the Japanese market and we show ourselves up. Well done Eddie.
I'd be looking to get Harrison closer to the 1st XI with designs on taking Longstaff's place behind Tonali, Bruno, Big & Little Joe Ashby looks to be playing pretty well Almiron is pointless at this stage
Longstaff is poor... he just runs around falling over. he's not gifted in any area of the game ! He does nothing other than running around yards off the pace... he doesn't even get close enough to try and tackle. The lads been given carte blanche to get in the box and can't get back fast enough after he misses. The club will not move forward with him getting games and hopefully to God this manager will stop that now.... the jokes over it's like watching someone that won a raffle to play... like watching someone's dad out there. I'll get told otherwise, but deep down everyone knows he's got to be replaced... even Howe.
They got whipped. The manager doesn't appear to understand they're trying to win fans. He's so far up Longstaff and Burns arses that it's ultimately going to cost him his job this season I think. I noticed he's favourite to be sacked first... if they start bad that could be right and with krafth Burn Longstaff and Murphy playing in the 11 they could lose vs Southampton and Bournemouth.
Disappointing display but a good workout at this stage. Sansusi and Harrison look good. Sanusi fouled every time he got the ball but no yellows from a very poor ref.
Didn't watch it but I don't think this counts towards us qualifying or not for the CL. If I remember correctly, it's an exercise to get all players ready for the first game of the season. Might be wrong on that one but don't think so.
Think we will be ok. With fitness improving the likes of Longstaff and Almiron don’t even make the matchday 20. I’m hoping both are sold. Maybe Trippier too if Ashby is any good.
