    Yeah we know its only a friendly but already this shows how weak the squad depth really is. PIF really do need to get their finger out and get the squad bulked up

    Pope, Schar, Botman, Bruno, Tonali, Elanga and Gordon the only players that are in the first team and only 3/4 of them at a time. Nowt to worry about.

    And I was hoping that we might upgrade Pope & Schar by August.

    All way too easy. Our defence looks like a bunch of mannequins.

    It's the high number of players that aren't good enough that's the issue.

    We've missed Longstaff's running and Wilson's goalscoring ability.

    no idea who their players are to be fair <laugh>

    They are a few weeks ahead of us.

    Genuinely can’t believe we’ve sold Longstaff and not Willock…

    Genuinely can’t believe some of the ****ing crap from Ashley’s reign still “running” around the pitch.

    Darren ****ing Eales has been an absolute pissing catastrophe this last two years.

    I guess that's white water rafting in Austria off the list for next year's pre-season warm up.

    Absolutely.. I don't care what any of the positivity club ringlickers say, because none of us thought we'd still be seeing the same names 4 years into this takeover.

    I'm not sure if it's the club or Howe, but sooner or later this is going to go south very fast if they don't replace them.

    Don’t worry results are meaningless.

    The performance however seemed to be shambolic and if that doesn’t highlight the need for players then nothing will. I’ll still be astonished if we sign more than two more, and even then they’ll be subs.

    I'm sure that will encourage signings to join. It's like everyone including Howe is actually trying their best to do badly at this point.

    Clever ploy to make the owners spend. Genius.

    Minutes in the legs lads.

    Gotta get ourselves Scalvini in ASAP. CB is just not strong enough.

    Sell Willock, Targett & Krafth at the earliest opportunity. Shahar and Murphy can replace the full backs, need to buy a CM's to replace Willock & Longstaff. Osula is just not ready to lead the line just yet, hopefully some more pre-season games will get him closer.
