2025/26 pre-season

Really impressed with the press, but damn we need abit more quality in this side

Agree, we also need Spence to stop being so laid back. He is not getting tight at all, and the crosses are way too easy for them to deliver. We look really weak down our left.

We are away from home against one of the toughest clubs in the world. It looks like mostly their first team as well. They won't keep missing the goal. Reminds me of the City cup game of 2 seasons ago when we lost by the odd goal but it could have been 3 or 4.
 
That half went pretty much as expected, but I'm not too concerned. We were more competitive against the goons and the toon than I thought we would be. Bayern are a different level.

Missing a proper no. 10 is a big problem though, and it looks like we will be starting the season minus 3 or 4 of our first 11. I wonder if any of our rivals are having similar misfortune?
 
Poor half from Spurs. The midfield can't keep the ball Sarr is a runner and Palhinha should play alongside a more dynamic player, I would go Palhinha, Bergvall and maybe Tel in the ten.

BUT the ref is for me the most blind useless one sided ref I have ever seen, The offside a monkey can spot, no card for Leimer and then a card for Romero... UNBELIEVABLY BAD!

Just or of interest but why would you put Tel in the 10?

He can make a pass maybe ;) No the only one I could see from what we have on the bench that could possibly play there. Of course I would want Xavi Simmons on MGW there but I just had to pick one from the bench.
 
Hmm, persisting with Johnson on the left. Perhaps because of his defending abilities? Because it sure as hell ain't gonna be his attacking abilities from the left.

Maybe because he scored a deflected shot against Saudi Sportswashing Machine?

Meanwhile our left siders (Tel, Odobert) sit down.

Seems a sure sign that Frank doesn't fancy Odobert in the 10 position, playing Sarr then Bergvall.

Is Odobert not on the bench today? He seems better suited to the role if push came to shove.
