Was  gonna say is there any chance that Roman and granny will be there to give him and Perisic a pull?

I am extremely excited for this game. They are an extremely talented squad top to bottom and should have a bunch of their key players available. I expect some of this positivity will boomerang back to negativity if things dont go well. I think we start with the same lineup except Emerson for Alonso and either Pasalic or Bakayoko for Cesc.

[Jase 43,479]

Should have a stronger lineup against Inter...

Lets nor expect to much too soon, we know it's gonna take time, this is about the Boss getting his ideas across and getting the players to buy into it.

But after the Perth game so far so good.

The International Champions Cup. Will face Arsenal and Lyon after this, with the Community Shield thrown into the mix.

Pretty tough set of opponents for this preseason. Which is probably good for preparation under a new manager. Sure hope we have another signing or two in before we play the Gooners. Preseason or not I wanna smack em. 😂
