Please don't give me a fuck ton of disagrees for this... can Solomon possibly takes Sonny's place???

Eventually, yes. He looks a good ‘un.

 

[Aussies Dream]

Under Conte we would be 4-0 down, no shots on target and our last goal would have been last season

Stupid question. Is this Barca stadium for the year /years whilst they rebuild camp nou? New nou

 

[Bazali]

They've got previous....
the filthy bastards were at it over 40 years ago when we played them in 1982 ECWC...




That aged well.... (Unlike Skipp who already looks like he's in his early 40's!!)

I remember that one

Hoddle got kicked off the park!

It's a fucking training game. Let's see how we do in a match that matters before sucking the coach and players dry without even buying them a drink first.

yes

If our second string are doing this well against a strong Barcelona set up, I'm excited. This year goals will come from everyone, not just one player, sign another quality defender and we are in with a shout of causing some surprises this year.

Yup not getting carried away except for putting my life saving on Skipp winning the golden boot

I don’t disagree but we all know you’d be on here blasting the club if we were getting destroyed.

 

[Bill Madrid]

This is a dirty Barcelona side. Borderline disgraceful tbh.

The Catalan commentary is laughable, when Richarlison gently fouled Pedri the commentator screeched "It's the only way they can stop us!"

This is ours and their last warmup before the kickoff of the season. This is the one that matters most, the early ones are building fitness and sharpness but the last game is the acid test to see how close you are to being ready for the league to kick off. And frankly considering this is our second XI I fucking like what I see.

Not getting too far ahead especially as we have a very rocky start to navigate but I don't think there's absolutely nothing to learn or gain from friendlies at all.

 

[Airfixx]

I remember even the preseason matches were god awful.

We certainly made hard work of that Korean tour last season.

 

[reachingforthestars]

Unpopular opinion around here but Davinson Sanchez has played very well

 

[Hampshire Spur]

Still just friendlies but hoping to pop the champagne football corks out this season. 1st half was best I've seen since poch era. Quality.

 

[N17-Tommo]

That was really enjoyable. It's been a long time since we had a 2nd 11 this good.

 

[Stag]

64% possession

against Barca, who rather like seeing the ball - not easy. I know its a friendly but everything weve seen in these pre-season games in an attacking and tactical sense has been a breath of fresh air

 

[Airfixx]

Keep up nutty its Diers turn to be cunted off!

Brace incoming.

I’ve wondered the same. Or deki’s place. He still has to prove himself, though I understand he was good last time out.
