but the problem is Sandro, Paulinho, Holtby and Soldado haven't had a single minute of pre season. kaboul, Dawson and vertonghen are injured, Bale,BAE and Gomes probably won't even be here come Palace and Ade is dealing with personal issues.
Is that what a striker looks like
Only to be expected with that team and our coaching.
it's just a list highlighting the players that didn't make the trip that we don't have available, a couple of players thrown in to dress it up as an eleven - doesn't change the fact that this game in Monaco see's us well below full strength and far away from what we'll see as a starting XI for the majority of premiership games
5-1 wtffffffff
It might help if anyone was within 5 yards of him.
Are we afraid to play a centre half in case they get injured?
We should in theory be in a positive frame of mind with three top class signings this summer but this team/performance is just awful
If AVB doesn't want to play the like of Sandro, Paulinho and Kaboul then we should just arrange friendless against conference team not decent European teams
I know what it's highlighting and we'd all feel a bit more reassured if all these players were simply being rested but there's issues with every single one of them.
