I got a strange message from Google an hour or so ago, telling me that tonight's match has been cancelled. Wish I hadn't deleted it so quickly, as I can't get confirmation anywhere. I'm wondering if Cresswell has been held back to play tonight (if it's on). This would allow Koch to play DM, as I expect him to for the scum game.
Im still baffled at the Roberts what does he actually add to the team? He floats around like he's a million bucks trying balls he think he can play but can't. Every game I always ask myself how and why? Forshaw not getting anywhere near this first team and will probably go have to rebuild in the championship Costa playing like he knows his number is nearly up. End of the day its a friendly but we did had 5 first teamers out there and some u23's on the cuff of the first team and were shown up in that 1st half. Ajax or not these were u21's. Much better 2nd half but but lets be honest that 1st half was as bad as it gets. Alot of silly mistakes so far in pre season leading to goals I guess its better to iron them out now rather than when the real stuff begins. Still not worried but its time to start revving the engines tonight and see what we are about Scum now only 10 days away. Win/Lose/Draw it doesn't matter I just want to see an upgrade in performance to say yeah that's my Leeds right there.
You lot have panicked the last two seasons after the friendlies and then in the first game we have come out all guns blazing. I'm not saying that will 100% happen this time around but we shouldn't be panicking just yet.
We must have people back i can't see us going into a game with 2 subs. surely Coops would of made the bench tonight if we were struggling for players. We made a full bench for the 1st game surely we would of saved some for the 2nd game.
Also gives Bielsa the chance to run the rule over the younger players to see who can step up. From what I saw of Summerville I think he will make a lot of match day squads this year, possibly at the expense of Costa
Summerville on the bench tonight, thinking he's ahead of Poveda now as not seen much of him in pre season. Costa will go if we get a new winger imo.
Lots of U23s who played one half today are subs, plus Roberts who also played a half. where will Koch play
Our new LB is injured then? Ings to Villa from Southampton they’re already spending the Grealish money Edit… Firpo has a knock so not taking any chances
So that is why Roberts and Costa didn't do much in the first game. They were saving themself for this game?
Bamford lazy IMO for not tackling their defender. We were actually playing better before their second.
Log jams are now breaking. Grealish to City a done deal, Ings to Villa and Lukaku to Chelsea means Tammy Abrams to Atalanta and so many more deals can now happen which means the players were were chasing can be freed up? All the main money is being spent by Prem clubs and everywhere else is loans, but players will now be moving faster
