Half time 0-0. Obviously taking in to account it's a glorified fitness exercise - but I'm not seeing what others are. We keep the ball well and are generally neat and tidy - but these are Premier League footballers so keeping possession in this sort of match is the least we should be expecting. We look completely toothless going forward. Fer looks skilful, but extremely one footed. Marshall offers nothing apart from running, as we know. And it looks like JSL enjoyed his summer holidays because he looks like he's starting this pre-season from 0 on the fitness front compared to others - sluggish would be polite.
It would be nice to see Jhon get some minutes and to see if he can give us some cutting edge going forward. Even Bellegarde might offer us something. That said, as we know, the squad overall is miles off. Joao Gomes the best player on the pitch by some distance. We'll probably overplay him this pre-season because of lack of depth in the squad, but he's everywhere again.
Be nice to see Yerson get some minutes - not that Santi has done anything wrong, as such - but just because we know he's not good enough.
