Macca was excellent tonight. Probably outperformed Jones this preseason.
I always felt Jones was massively helped out by Greaves
Jones cemented his place before Greaves did. Think we forget Greaves only really came to the fore over the last couple of seasons.
And of course Macca and Jones were the pairing for a lot of the previous-to-last season with Greaves at LB.
He's a solid enough squad option, but if you add both potential in Hughes and McKenna for experience to the current pair we'd look pretty strong in that area on paper at least.
You mean the same Alfie Jones that played excellently when Greaves was out at LB?
Thought he went well tonight but looks rusty and is learning a new formation. He certainly has an engine on him
Macca was good tonight, Jones is looking the one that can’t be relied upon in this system
I always used to think Jones looked a bit suspect at the back, but improved dramatically last season. Coincidentally when paired regularly next to Greaves. Whether that had any bearing I’m not sure but he’s not looked great this preseason
Really? The first 70 mins was as bad as we've played in a long time.
They've both had up and down pre seasons, I still think Macca will be gone by the end of the window.
No Syd, it's so you can act like a silly **** and pretend to be itk. Didn't you know?
Someone with the IQ of an amoeba said so earlier.
You guys keep telling X will be gone by the end of window etc. but I guess you are not aware that we have 14-15 senior players only. In order to start sending players we need at least 9 players. I feel like most of these players will stay here to cover the bench.
Yeah I thought we seemed to be one of the first clubs to do this and it never really made sense. I suppose though it should add more value. For instance we sold Tufan with one year but an un-exercised extra year so theoretically had two years to run. It seems more for cash strapped clubs which we're (hopefully) not anymore.
Yes, they probably will. But that's fine as long as the key positions get filled like the look like they will.
I still enjoyed it. Fiorentina played some nice stuff. I can still enjoy a game without it being a classic. Was nice to spend time with the family and just be back at the stadium again tonight and saturday after a few months away.
Gotta be honest I watched most of that thinking were making as many backwards passes as Liam got trounced for.
It's amazing how unconscious bias can affect how we see things differently, isn't it?
There were nowhere near as many backwards passes tonight as any game I remember last season. Its time to let him go. If he is that good he will be ripping it up all over Europe for years to come and you can sleep soundly knowing you were right and he is the god.
