Pre-season friendly thread

I'd bet on 3-4-3 personally.

Ruddy

Boly Saiss Marcal

Hoever Moutinho Perry RAN

Trincao Raul MGW

 

[Deano]

It will be 4-4-1-1 RAN and Trincao wide with MGW just off Raul.

Might get second half?

It's more my nerves or unease that he might not be better than Ruddy! Should probably just take a breath and give him more than 4 days or whatever he has had to become the no.1.

Unlucky to those of you who coughed up the money to watch. Looks like Betis are streaming it on Facebook and YouTube for free. We’ll have to put up with foreign comms, but I’m sure we can deal with that.

 

[The Bear]

I have an ESPN feed working fine too. Foreign comms though.

 

[Alan]

Mmm. Love to see a green kit.

 

[Alan]

Also, totally bizarre that we’re getting the match on actual factual national TV here.

 

[The Bear]

Can someone link to the Betis stream on YouTube? Can't find it for love nor money.

 

[The Bear]

Not available in the UK on Facebook either.

 

[Alan]

Trincao won’t get that call in the Prem.

 

[Alan]

Definitely a back four for those who can’t watch. Louie basically nailed it.

I’ve just used the usual sites. It’s quite easy to find.

Game being played at a good pace early on (I’m sure that will change as it gets in to the latter stages!). Betis just worked the ball in to an excellent area but Saiss made a cracking sliding tackle. Perry at fault, losing the ball on the edge of the area.

 

[Alan]

We look very much a team learning a new philosophy, but we’re playing with a promising enthusiasm.

 

[YoungWolf]

Poor from Ruddy to play a straight pass into Perry like that. Got away with it, good tackle by Saiss

Yeah thanks...

I've just found gone back to the ESPN stream.

Betis pressing really high and have caught us a couple of times. Surprisingly fast start

 

[Alan]

Betis playing some really nice stuff.

 

[Alan]

Comms here mentioning a ton that the pitch is dry and “hard as a rock”. Saying that explains a lot of the miscontrolled passes we’re seeing.

 

[Alan]

Perry can’t blame Ruddy for that one!

 

[Carrotdude]

Another mistake let’s them in again
