Match Day Thread 2023 Pre Season Matchday Thread

if this is the system and this is the finishing touches then I am really freaked out.

it wasn't great v bayern but this is hapless

there's literally zero shape to thr back line and zero discipline. trents just gone into their box and they break and all Robertson can do is foul. clear yellow forgiven by ref.

they can't seem to get in a simple line here there's real sloppiness in vvd again

if I were Chelsea.and I heard Jurgen klopp asked his mate to "play out" I'd be setting up to draw trent and pump ball at quick men

it's not the opponent it's the system on show here.

konate just went up the ****ing wing leaving vvd all on his own ffs.

come on!

 

If we try and play 3 at the back in the Prem we will get hammered by any half decent team.

 

I'm perplexed by this tbh. There's no shape at all - I can't even work out what we're trying to do.

Alison
Wow

 

It looks like we are trying to be totally out of shape so we can practice for when we are totally out of shape

either way it’s all Hendo and Milners fault
Sorry
Robbo lol

ps only joking Jimmy

 

Gotta love that finish though

 

Changes coming, will we go 4 at the back or stay suicidal

 

Our pressing has looked healthier and a bit more co ordinated
And we do seem hungrier
If we can beat the lower end of the league like towards end of last season
Stay injury free like totally…

 

you'd not mind building in the season if you could see some sort of system

there's not shape to it, no back line in an actual line, don't know who is covering who and its just disorganised looking.

I done really care about this portion of the game any more given the changes but its just symptomatic that the chaos just is there
it's like they've not worked one second on system at any level of the group of players that have worked in preseason

I've not once seen a tight, no gap set up where you could call it a back 5 or a back 3 and box midfield. there's just gaps absolutely everywhere to pass through.

 

that's thst..preseason over.

you lazy ****s have no match thread created.

 

Can see Doak getting minutes this year. He looks like could be a huge threat in last 10-15 min of games when defences start to get tired and more space. The way he goes past full backs with his speed, low centre of gravity and burst of acceleration.

Needs to add end product but only 17 so will come. Looks a proper talent

 

Think he looks great but got a lot of development to do yet. Plus we need him once Robbo ****s off, we've never won a league title without a Scotsman in the squad!

Jones looked great when he first got in and around the first team but went off the bill most of last season, looked good again towards the end though

 

Yeah plenty to do but he’s a stocky kid so got bit of bulk to help him when comes to men’s football. Can see him skinning a few full backs when there is space to exploit and has a bit of skill about him.

Even if it’s 10-15mins just to run onto balls and be an outlet up top at the end of a game to win some fouls. Think he’ll have uses and get game time in the cups.

 

needs to stop firing the ball randomly across at massive pave and just pick players out.

he's got in at least 5 times in preseason the ****ed it by driving the valley at people
