Pre-season 25-26

[Celtiña]

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.

Wolfe and Arias look great. only need time.

But i think you need like 4-5 player more, and better if they have quality to send long passes.

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!

Once, over a week ago.

"Constantly".

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Doherty being a Premier League starter in 2025 is scandalous.

I tell you what is fucking constant, you bleating about Doherty over and over and over and over again.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Shut up mate.

Quoting me three times in 2 minutes FFS.

Matt Doherty is fucking wank, he was wank 13 years ago as well.

 

[Loki]

I thought Kalajdzic really made an effort to stake a claim. Mosquera looked assertive when he came on too. Can`t find any more positives today.

Coming at me for being "annoying" from nowhere, unjustifiably FFS.

It was Johny Phillips that had the opinion that the "penny has dropped".

I know that, i'm sure Jinky does too, what's your point?

As we sit here today the only thing saving this side is if the 3 promoted clubs don’t get it right again.
The 3 new players look alright but they need to be big game players.
The right side of defence is huge hole, we look like we’ll be reliant on set pieces and moments of magic to score goals.

But the Celta on second period in the moment join Sasa are fully of local subs. Only have 2 or 3 main players, rest are subs, or 2 team player.

Yes I appreciate that but I thought he put a lot more effort.

I like you, but this sentiment can only go one way. Chill.

 

[jd1981]

Results in pre season mean nothing, however you should see some patterns, things to be positive about, style of play etc
None of the above have been noticed.
Any side unable to field 11 PL quality players come GD1 is in big trouble.
Who’s the leaders?

"Fuck, I hate when I drop my joint"

 

[Lupo]

I had my free ticket courtesy of my ST but didn't bother. Not looking forward to the restart next week. Been out so not seen anything of today's game, doesn't sound like I missed much.

Man City one week from now, can't wait!

Thanks for telling us how weak the Celta team was that just beat our first team - just what we needed to hear.

It's not their fault, it's jeffs

 

[sycophantia]

Just got back.
Thought Celta were sharper and more cohesive at the start. We looked like a team of individuals at times. Got more into it and a good chance for Arias.
Second half we had much more energy and looked decent. Then we conceded a sloppy goal. We huffed and puffed but not many clear chances apart from the great save by their keeper from our corner.
Sa was fine, our back 3 and CM 2 were fine apart from a couple of sloppy passes (mostly by Agba).
Hoever will never make a Premier league RWB, hes weak and looked terrified most of the time, we clearly looked better when Gomes replaced him.
Wolfe had a fairly quiet game, probably cos hes only just joined the group.
Arias looks classy but he's gunna need some help.
Lopez disappointed me a bit in the first half but he improved second half.
Larsen was as expected, didn't get any real chances but held the ball up a few times and linked play.

I'm really concerned about our lack of creativity. Where are the goals coming from?

Munetsi did what he does.
Bellegarde still gets knocked off the ball too easy.

 

[Jinky]

Going into the season with some cracking form under our belts and a squad brimming with confidence. It’s cool though. Results don’t mean anything in pre-season. We can throw the first few games and wait til the very end of the window to strengthen because it’s a tough window etc etc etc.

Get to fuck with all that shite. We are in trouble and Fosun can get in the sea.
