Toronto are gona batter us.. We looked so poor there and not one person looked like they give a ****.. Turning out to be a bit of a disaster this trip is, half the team didn't make the trip missing out on valuable match time and where not seeing any diff formations or anything, the morale is gona be ****ed by the time we start the season.
That probably explains it then! Fitness returning and good players to come into the side. Not much to worry about.
fair doos like jet lag is a **** ! but these lads were div 1 at best and we made them look like 11 Ronaldos! pissed right on my chips they have
Simple **** , what is supposed to be the difference between pro's and joes. Just dont give a **** imo. I am pissed up tho haha
Well it's hard to argue that we were any better than ****, that the players looked interested or that they made much effort. It's a nothing game though so none of the above is too big a blow unless you stayed up until half 5 in the morning to watch it.
Its nowt to worry about I agree there but they didn't look interested mate, fitness is the main point in pre-season but there not gona get fitter walking around the pitch putting zero effort in
Thank god I didn't stay up to watch it but like I been staying we need a forward big Time. Fletcher, graham and wickham aren't good enough end off.
Not sure why so many take much heed in pre season results or performances. We had a half decent pre season last year and look how fantastic the season turned out. It's about getting players back to fitness and sharpness and nothing more.
Aye, and the season before that we looked excellent in pre-season, battered Spurs in the Asia trophy, then when the PL started we were beyond hapless. It means eff all. Mind you, I agree that this America trip was a bit pointless. We're hardly going to raise our profile in the US with these dogshyte performances. Might as well have done our usual pre-season in Portugal or somewhere. Toronto will absolutely murder us, and Jozy will get at least one goal. I'd put my mortgage on it if I had a house.
Don't give a **** about the results pal and like you say its about fitness and sharpness but by the sounds of it the final third is a big worry. I don't think any of our forwards are good enough and our midfield is piss poor. Hopefully Dick sorts it out.
Haha that's a relief mate, I was worried he'd bang one in against us and we'd have weeks of fans whinging on about how he "wasn't given a fair chance"...
I like Altidore but he didn't do it and the forward we got now aren't doing it. I would love us to sign a decent forward.
Don't think he fits in the formation Dick plays. We play 4-3-3 but most of the time we get pushed back and it goes to 4-5-1 and that would make Defoe up front by his self and we all know he can't play that position. I'll still keep defoe tho.
That 4-3-3 will never work, and Defoe has to stay up front, now put the full team out against Toronto, minus Brown and O Shea and still too much back passing, we need to beat Toronto or win in Germany that's for sure, but unlikely now.
