As I say. There are literally hundreds of players that would instantly improve us in that position who would also be adequate for a lower to middle PL club. Yet here we are, a couple of weeks away from playing Man City and we haven’t signed one. Remember when people were saying it’s great...

Suspect Blues will be another club that overtake us within a couple of years. Their owners are actually showing some ambition both on and off the pitch.

Bentz is absolutely shit. We need to get rid of Johnstone and sign a legitimate number 2, so Bentley can move back to his rightful position of number 3.

I also noticed last night how quiet we are on the pitch. Remember when we had Coady in the centre of defence and in these pre-season matches you used to hear his voice bellowing instructions around the ground? We didn’t have anyone vocal on the pitch, organising, taking responsibility last...

Thing is, they’re currently showing/making out that it’s an impossible window to get deals done. It’s not, is it? We are a Premier League club - which automatically has pull compared to a huge % of teams out there. We’re only finding it so difficult because of the way we are being ran by Fosun -...

Agreed. But it’s been enhanced tonight watching that performance. We looked miles off it all over the pitch.

To summarise. Goalkeepers: Sa - fine. Bentley/Johnstone/King - at best, third choice. Two need to leave and another legitimate signing needs to come in to be second choice. Full/wing backs: Hugo B. Hoever. Rodrigo. Lima. All 4 are only good enough to be back ups. That means two starting 11...

And then Lens score again to make it 1-3 on the break. Gonna be a loooooooooooong season ladies & gents.

Guedes pulls one back. He’ll be sold tomorrow (quite rightly). Sasa on.

Let’s be honest (yes, I know it’s pre-season) - our starting 11 is weak and didn’t look great in that first half. We barely created anything and looked pretty poor across the park. We’ve since made a load of changes and looked even worse. But we all know the back ups aren’t good enough and this...

0-2. Bentley is absolutely awful. Don’t worry about signing a better back up though 😂😂😂

Andre struggling now. No midfielders on the bench to send on.

Nice goal from Lens. In all honesty, that should be 0-2 after they missed the earlier open goal. And that’s the issue with Hugo B. Didn’t follow the runner, got in behind and then a lovely ball in and a nice finish (although Bentley beaten at the near post 🤪) Lima, Santi Bueno, Munetsi...
