Pre-season 25-26

[jd1981]

Another player goes down holding his face and looking plaintively at his bloodied hand.
OH! You mean there's no blood on it at all?
A gentle brush of a forearm as they both went for the ball.
Fer Lopez taken off, Munetsi on,

The last sentence sums up our problems in a microcosm

 

[Celtiña]

omg Jones!!

 

[Celtiña]

x2 more youth player of second team, worn in the zone.

Carreras and Hugo, they are main players.

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Sasa and Hwang coming on...

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Doc had had a good game then marks fresh air and they score

Yep agreed. Probably out best player until then, not sure why he ended up there with Agba and Toti to the right of him, I think Sa could have done better too.

Lopez had a good second half and the tempo has improved since Munetsi and Bellegarde have come on, but it's been REALLY flat.

Bueno has been poor, feel a bit sorry for him, he's trying too hard.

And now the footage has crashed...

[Wolf Hunting]

Oh dear! Lovely bit of skill aided by a very loose approximation of a defender, rounds the player, advances into the goal area and rounds an advancing Sa, to hopelessly and with no conviction pokes it 2 yards wide of the far post!
Should have been 2-0!

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Well, Premier Sports has put me out of my misery.

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Naylor voicing disappointment that with one week to go the intensity just isn't up there.
No one really playing like "I want this place in the team next week".

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Premier feed has dropped... Can't wait.
How dare they interrupt this low key, uninspiring, mundane bit of football.
I'm off out to cut the grass, Far more satisfying.

 

[Alan]

As annoyed as VP looked at the end, we sure didn't play with much urgency.

 

[Jinky]

Well one things for sure, we’re in for a very long season. Squad depth is non-existent and despite our starting 11 looking “ok” on paper, they appear way off clicking at the level required in the PL.

Extremely concerning. Don’t worry, though. Pennies dropped hasn’t it?

 

[jd1981]

Look way undercooked, actually don’t think we’ve played enough games pre season.
However lack of intensity and quality is real worry.

 

[Celtiña]

Your problems, are abuse of defense and short pases.

Made many short passes, and that only help celta return and defend better.

In the moment Wolves try a long pass, all time failed it...

You guys need a RWB, CB, DMF with good long pass, good palyer makers... and one Right Wing to put centers, drible, assist.

Arias and Lopez are a lot similiar, they join a lot on CM zone...

Same Andre-Gomez, abuse of short passes. Beltran of Celta are DMF, and he made that long pass to Duran to score...

 

[basher]

Only thing I think I can take away from that today is that I paid too much to get in...

 

[Loki]

They were the better team. Their 2nd team were the better team.

 

[jd1981]

If you want to see how this club has been downgraded just look at the side that started v Everton in 2018 compared to the one that starts next Saturday.
Genuinely don’t want the season to start which is criminal as a fan.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Pennies dropped hasn’t it?

It's a poor state of affairs but this line being dropped constantly by you and EP really annoys me. The club didn't say that!

Doherty being a Premier League starter in 2025 is scandalous.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Hoever and Bueno so far off the required level. Wolfe and Arias were 'ok' but massive downgrades on your two best attacking threats. Larsen isnt going to look any good if you cant give him chances. Lopez looked like he's got something about him and will turn into a good signing.

I don't see where the goals are coming from and we don't look particularly solid either.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

It's a poor state of affairs but this line being dropped constantly by you and EP really annoys me.

You what mate?
