Overall i'm very happy with him but that's the one thing he needs to fix to get to Allison/prime DDG level. As shot stopper he still need a lot of work. His response is not quick enough.

Fulham Broadway 17,333 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Thought Barkleys shot was better than Rakitics whether by design or luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have been sold long ago. But overall very good, we move better as a unit already compared to under Sarri. Tomori doesnt look first team worthy either so far, to be harsh and on that goal it was all set up by POOOOOR defence from the Donkey bros (Bakawater) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could easily get 50 for the pair, they have zero Chels future imo, so get rid while we can. Vesper and bigbluewillie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any replay with different angles of that Rakitic goal? From the wide view, it didn't look like Kepa had a chance to save it...? Agree with your main point but if Kepa didn't have a chance to save that, then it's kinda strange to use that to highlight this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drinkwater's wages and age fuck us on getting much for him, a truly disastrous buy (£70m between fees and wages) by the board Atomiswave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
communicate 2,703 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Very difficult to judge. I really wish this is not barca 1st pre season and they don't play too many b team. You can tell who is Barca A team and B team, the gap is obvious. But overall our pressing is fantastic. Very fast and very sharp. I was impressed. Kovacic is pretty much a nail down starter at this point with maybe kante in Jorginho position. Offensively, Pulisic looks sharp, Pedro is Pedro, Mount looks good but Barkley is having a very good pre season. I don't know who will be our no 10 in old Trafford. Defensively, this is why I wish barca was sharper or at least play Dembele griezman Malcom in first half. I want our defence get tested more Atomiswave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no clue why we did not just drop the extra £16m (he went for £31m, versus the 15m we spent for six months of tubby Higs) and buy him outright surely the board knew the bans were coming (I sure as hell did as evidenced by all my rants on here for the last year, lolol) Atomiswave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with your main point but if Kepa didn't have a chance to save that, then it's kinda strange to use that to highlight this issue. I think with Kepa unlike alisson or de Gea or to some extend Courtois, you felt like he concede goals too many goals that can be saved. Maybe that is just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted July 23, 2019 Author Share Posted July 23, 2019 Only watched the first half in full but a few pointers: 1. Our pressing looks pretty good, forced Barcelona to a lot of mistakes at the back, but it needs to be worked on because there seems to be a disconnect between the front six and back four. 2. Speaking of the front six, they looked sharp and aggressive. Created a number of good opportunities but the finishing needs to improve. Can't believe Abraham and Pulisic missed those first half chances! 3. In relation to the first point, whenever Barca got passed our front six pressing, Luiz showed his bad side by charging out of his position and left the defence exposed. Lampard needs to have a word with him... 4. The XI in the last 20-30 minutes looked depressing... 5. The short sleeve, yellow keeper kit looks great. 6. Azpi with beard is just wrong... communicate, Johnnyeye and Fernando 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant expect much better when the folks aint footy people and just business folks that only think about the numbers and have not much insight. And no one as of yet have been binned for the ban.....we are clearly guilty since we have accepted the ban. Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
