Pre-season friendlies...

liking how vocal Phillips is in goal, guess that's pretty normal though

 

KLP had a proper football upbringing and uses his body well. Vaughan hasn’t done either as of yet. Doesn’t use his body well to draw fouls and hasn’t bulked up

 

I know shelveys majorly unfit right now
But he can barely do more than a jog

I cant see how hes championship level now

 

Sellars fleming seems to have great off the ball movement

Now burstows time

 

Slater looks back to his best. With proper midfield around him I think Sergej will get the best out of him again

 

Probably. Villa had the same issue with their Castore kits a few years ago.

 

Also, I told you all about Shelvey. He’s been like this his entire career. Incredibly lazy and poor fitness.

 

He looks like an old man out there

Championship speed will destroy him

 

He moves like a former pro in Soccer Aid.

 

I don’t think Palmer is much better tbh

 

im actually very worried about our midfield now
unless we get this embargo **** lifted or some good free agents

we are genuinely ****ed

 

Palmer’s always been lazy as **** too.

 

He can just do things like that shame about the final ball

 

Have we gotten worse or is TSF just much better off the ball. He had 3 good chances from his movement / instincts. Burstow has barely had a sniff of the ball

 

still can't stop / defend crosses into the box...

 

i think its mostly cause our midfield and wingers are not even in the game, tsf does have top movement, but id guess the players are pretty fatigued by now

vaughan and myers been absolutely anonymous, disappointed tbh

 

Jesus Keeps

 

Burstow has 0 intensity to his game, reminds me of Trent the way he jogs around.

 

Poor by keeper. Rotherham fans did say he was a poor shot-stopper.

Shelvey playing as the deepest midfielder but was further up the pitch than Slater and Palmer for that goal. We cannot sign him. I’d rather an under-21 player or nobody over him.

Brady may be right about the kit. It has fully changed to a different shade by half-time. Suggests the fabric has poor ventilation. @originallambrettaman you’re the textiles expert. What do you reckon?

 

Absolutely. We should be steering well clear of Shelvey it was like playing with 10
