Only for fitness. Pre season games are just a slight step up from a training ground game as there is no test at all and I still remember the reaction from fans when we beat roma 5 nil, that game summed up pre season and why never to pay any attention to the performances.
Pre-season results aren't important and performances don't even mean much. They're mainly for fitness and working on tactics. I'd still expected more from our opponents, though. Italian teams are always crap in these games because their league starts later. The Bundesliga doesn't. Soldado, Kane, Townsend and Davies on at HT. Not sure who's gone off. Edit: Adebayor, Lamela, Lennon and Rose.
He left cos you're ****, he left cos you're shi-i-it, Lewis Holtby, he left cos you're ****! Soldado with a bad miss, then Kane gets pushed over and doesn't get a penalty, as usual. He needs to stay strong and push past those challenges, as he just won't get the decisions.
