Pre-season 25-26

[YoungWolf]

What a terrible dive

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Penalty.

Hwang... dives for a pen...

Bit of both.

 

[SSB]

Hwang... dives for a pen...

Thanks ref

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

He needs to more than that

I agree.

 

[Squeak]

And then he misses it as it is parried away straight back to him to net. 1-1

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Good save, but Hwang scores the rebound.

 

[Alan]

Jesus Christ, for a second I thought I was going to have to give Hwang a eulogy.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Sasa had made good decisions.

 

[Alan]

Sasa had made good decisions.

He’s a good player, but, as they say, the most important ability is availability.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

He'll be useful in games where the opposition have a lot more of the ball than us.

They'd be as well just passing it straight to him, you'll get it back five seconds later.

Bloody awful.

 

[Squeak]

Ref is fucking useless... basically going with who shouts loudest at him.

 

[Squeak]

F/T 1-1
Learned fuck all.

 

[jd1981]

Learnt that this squad needs some serious improvement

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

Lopez looked decent. At the risk of incurring the wrath of Dan, Hoever didn't look out of place (in a pre-season friendly).

 

[jd1981]

We didn't learn that, we all already knew it. There are a handful of good quality PL players in the squad. The rest are, at their very best, average. This season is going to look a lot like last, though probably without the truly abysmal start or the 6 game winning run.

We achieve the he same points total id be very happy. The squad is vastly short of PL quality as it stands.

 

[Celtiña]

Same problems of the last seasson.

Abuse of short passes, all time, no one decent long pass. Many time Fer and Larsen call for long passes and nothing.
You guys need buy one defense made good long pases.
Wings dont exist.

The game of Fer Lopez are normal game, he usually play a lot better, but need good player around he, he receive, move, protect the ball, have a good visión y made great passes, but if all are down its imposible to he show the best of he: its a playmaker.

 

[The Bear]

So as it stands this squad going into the first game would probably yield a starting XI of:

............................ Sa

... Mosquera - Agbadou - Toti

Doherty - Gomes - Andre - Bueno

.....................Arias - Lopez

............................JSL


That's assuming Mosquera will be ready in time.

 

[Kenny]

If Mosq is not ready now he won't be for the start of the season.

He will he nursed back in to things

So pop Doc back to RCB and cry about the RWB options

 

[The Bear]

Rodrigo with Henry Hoever backup it is then.

 

[Alan]

How did Hoever get on? Didn’t see the first half.
