It was a practice game and the players are getting to know each other, the Spurs game will be more competitive and we will be able to see who shines.
Exactly so. Much more to play for, more to prove. Still early days, at this stage looking for signs more than anything really.
Apparently its precationary with Diakite (read it some where). He played minimal football last year due to his contract hassle, so the coaching staff are easing him in and focusing on the training aspect with him.
The only words in the report which are awful are James McClean. Hope it's the last we hear of him. That's of course unless he's learned to use his right foot and do something different now.
Natural left footers are hard to come by and who knows, he may get the opportunity for a more forward role with a new team set up.
