Expect a lot of friendlies behind closed doors because the whole squad's very off the pace fitness wise. I would be really happy, if fitness aspect is the only worrying issue here. Our attacking play under tuchel is very very underwhelming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superblue 6,372 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Never like to take too much from friendlies but it is worrying to see just how undercooked we looked in comparison to Arsenal and how many players are getting minutes that are likely not going to be used once the season rolls around. It's a big 2 weeks now before the season starts and Tuchel needs to decide what the strongest XI is and play that in the last friendly for at least 70 minutes. A couple of takes from the game - I don't know where Gallagher fits into this team and system. We don't look suited to play a back 4, we're much better off getting back to being tight at the back in a 3. We were all over the shop in the first half and looked so open. In a pivot, I genuinely think Gallagher is behind Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic and probably even RLC for that position. He's not technical enough to play higher up like Mount can. Currently I worry he'll feel a square peg in a round hole. I still have full belief that there's a real player in Havertz, but that doesn't hide away that he is also inconsistent and to date has shown no signs of that changing. We can't hang our hat solely on him to lead the line this season. I think if he wants it, and has the mentality to fight for it, there is a real opportunity for Broja to get a lot of game time if he stays. He offers a completely different style of attacker to Havertz, with a more natural striker instinct but unlike Lukaku, he doesn't negatively impact on the team's ability to press. Despite a poor performance, it shouldn't go unnoticed that all 4 goals were awful tonight and completely preventable. This follows on from the first two games conceding a comedy own goal and a penalty. It's concerning that the second half of last season became farcical with the amount of goals we were gifting opposition, and so far this has just carried on into pre season.

You have to laugh. It's a bit like people speculating that RLC was finally getting it together last season when the reality was as I and others said, if Ruben is good enough to get in our team then that is not a good sign. Well, if Michey is good enough to make our squad, we won't need signs. It's game over mkh and Blue Armour 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The consolation in that second case is that, if reports are true, West Ham preferred Mando. Blue Armour 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strike 7,492 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 (edited) Will you be ready in two weeks for the start of the Premier League season? Tuchel : "I can not guarantee. I saw today a team in Arsenal who are mentally committed to an idea of playing, a level of exhaustion, a level of physical commitment that we could not match. "Also, a level of mental commitment that we lacked because we have a lot of players who are thinking about leaving and looking at their options. We have players that have left and I think at the moment that's obvious." Edited July 24, 2022 by Strike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a shot of TT just having a right go at him, I honestly hope that Sarr was subtituted in just because of the fact that Colwill was injured.
