We will play all the teams we beat on the road to our 2012 cl crown in the league phase. Napoli-Benfica-Barcelona-Bayern. Let’s win it again!

As of today if we sell/loan all of Disasi,Gilchrist,Chilwell,Nkunku,George,Sterling,Jackson and Datro Fofana and if we don't count Colwill and the goalkeepers we have 20 senior players. Taking into account the recent history of Wes Fofana, Lavia, Badiashile and James that is quite worrying. If we count Garnacho as done, I think we still need two more bodies in, or risk having very little to choose from on some matchdays. Hope everyone stays fit this time around and we deliver big time, but our last two seasons were severely damaged by injuries and I just don't want to see it happen again...

It cant be straight loans for Nkunku and Jackson. They are not bad players and can be part of our squad on theory. So eighter get good money or keep them in and drop Simons. Disasi, Sterling and Chilwell are a different matter. Any deal for them is a great deal. LOL.

This will leave us with: Player list A Filip Jorgensen Robert Sanchez Tosin Adarabioyo Benoit Badiashile Trevoh Chalobah Marc Cucurella Malo Gusto Reece James Moises Caicedo Enzo Fernandez Nicolas Jackson Christopher Nkunku Cole Palmer Pedro Neto

Penders came off injured last night in the 41st minute. Hope it’s not serious, but something like that can change our long term plans. Speedy recovery Mike!

Everything with Fofana is ok. False alarm 😅

After watching the debut of Gittens he surely believes there is a starting spot for him here. Garnacho that is.

Team performance - solid but slow and too passive. Individual: Sanchez - Not great at distribution, but not bad eighter. Good in the air. Was completely surprised by Eze and saved by VAR. James - Solid at the back. Some unnecessary fouls, but good distribution over the lines. Chalobah - solid, too passive on the ball. Josh - Considering age and experience great, but was shaky on the ball and even though he was dealing with Mateta, he almost never got the first ball against him. Cucu - Active and everywhere. Playing with a lot of new players showed at times. Caicedo - a beast as usual Enzo - very slow and disappointing. Hope he gets into rhythm fast. Palmer - was pocketed by their midfield. Kudos to Wharton especially. He went wider in the last 15 minutes and was a lot better. Too little too late. Gittens - Out of sync. Too early to judge him harshly. Neto - Energetic and active. Not enough real danger. Pedro - Was lost around their 3 CBs. Couldn't influence the game. Estevao and Santos - good moments. Quite raw. Gusto - played too centrally and too little to be effective Delap - Positive signs. Gives us another option and can be quite useful in these type of games. Final thoughts - Weren't ready for a game against such a solid team, but with a bit of luck could have gotten the 3 points. They are probably loosing players so our rivals can find them easier to play/win against.

As expected we are struggling to move on a bunch of players. Apparently that also blocks us from signing a couple of players, but the most worrying part is the lack of understanding between the manger and the club. We are starting the season on a massive positive wave and we all know how things can get very bad very fast. Hope we manage to get through August with positive results both on the pitch and on the transfer market. COYB!

Not ready yet… Still decent showing against a strong side. Short preseason and not being able to train enough shows. A lot of new players overall. We must get the 3 points against West Ham…

Does someone know why Enzo Fernandez didn’t get a minute yesterday? Hope he is healthy 😳

Worst day since losing to Newcastle. It was all going too well... Speedy recovery Levi!

I think we have a great mixture on the right with Neto, Estevao and Palmer. An experienced option, a super talent and a 10 sliding right. Would love to have the same on the left with Gittens, Simons and a more experienced option. Grealish on a short term deal would be great, but guess that will never happen. Garnacho seems to be in the bag. Missing a bit of seniority on that side, but I hope most of the boys deliver throughout the season!

I don’t get the inflated fees from Saudi for surplus players. I understand why they have to offer high salaries, but why give Liverpool say 70 mil for Nunez. Nobody else will give them 50. Even if they have all the money in the world, what is the point of wasting them this way?

Deals are moving well. Still a month to go. Squad doesn’t need much and Simons looks like a sure thing. I hope we have enough time to prepare and beat Palace on the opening day and go on from there!
