Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 The lineup looks like we are tossing this one as we did with the FA Cup. Really sad For Pau you could say he has no training backlog so can just playon but Gerard It is weird. Azpi has been training exactly the same time as Gerard Moreno and yet is not fit enough to play? To me it looks like TT is treating this as a pre-season friendly, giving CHO, Trev and other a chance to impress we are basically just playing 4-5 first teamers here despite having an entire squad ready.

ZAPHOD2319 4,818 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I think Tuchel will use all 5 subs to bring in more of our starting XI and the leash will be short if someone is not playing well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,916 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Not really sure I understand playing several players who clearly won’t be here. Also not sure I like the idea of like half our best XI not playing a single preseason match before the PL season starts. Even if it’s just for 60 minutes I’d have played as close to our best XI as possible. We have a tough as hell start to the season and need these guys to hit the ground running.

I'd hate for someone with very little pre-season minutes to come in an injure themselves in the process. Villarreal seem to be taking it really seriously and are throwing the kitchen sink at it, as they should because it's a glorious opportunity for them. It might backfire on them if players are not fit, or the risk might pay off. Either way even with this squad we are heavy favorites to win and there shouldn't be any excuses to lose. Just hope Tuchel reacts quickly if things aren't working out, and takes in a few more first teamers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If fear of injury really is the problem so why have a lot of our first team not featured in preseason for a few mins? At soem point we have to throw them into the cold water. IMO given Villareal have played together in this formation and prepared for ages the chances are pretty even. We pulled a similar stunt in 2012 and got mauled by Atleti. Thank fuck Villareal dont have prime Falcao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Pau torres looks just as tired as you would expect someone who played 13months football straight and then had a 12 hours flihgt days ago. Apparently Moreno also cut his holiday short to be here. they want this so bad, lets hope the pressure gets to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who were previous brothers who played for first team? Thorgan didn’t make it to debut, nobody else comes to my mind. In addition to the Wilkins boys there's Ron & John Harris. George McEachran made the bench a couple of times so he & Josh are a near miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
