AS Monaco Vs Tottenham: Pre Season Match Thread

[moomin]

cant blame livermore too much for that one. hes being asked to play a position he's never played before where he has to mark the best striker in the world. just not fair

 

[Damian99]

Awful, what on earth was Harry Kane doing before they got their 3rd??

 

[spivmaster]

Almost like Man City blue you might say?

More like Smurf blue, imo

 

[Kendall]

Even though it's a friendly and even though we're missing players, this is showing up our lack of strength in depth.

 

[mill]

dont worry we'll score a 83' deflected gylfi shot and a 90' 25 yrd screamer from gareth



oh wait...

Lol as if sigs is gonna have a shot

 

[UncleBuck]

Fuck me, saw that it was on itv4, stopped mowing the lawn, just seen four minutes and now I'm back mowing the lawn.....

 

[Shea]

I know this is a fairly weak side we've a put out today - but we've hardly created a chance and had pretty much no shots at goal, very little of significance anyway

I know its only pre season and we're a depleted unit today but this is a poor showing regardless

 

[have_it]

Remind again why did we sell Caulker?

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

When has Huddlestone filled in for us at CB on a 'few occasions' ?

 

[spurdaboyzon]

Pathetic, I know we're missing players but 2 weeks b4 the season starts we have 4/5 players injuries who won't be available, 3 new signings who have yet to play any games, a star player who do t wanna stay. All this since 4 weeks ago I was quietly confident of finishing top 4 this season. Everything just seems to be falling apart as per usual

 

[Misfit]

Almost like Man City blue you might say?

Almost. They are very into pastels these days though. They're just a season or two away from bonnets and bibs being part of the official kit.

 

[shelfboy68]

I'm starting to get very worried about us now our defending has been shit so far pre season too many goals conceded same as last year.
I thought this might be something avb would try to iron out it seems again we are going into the start of another season disjointed and disorganised.
Really not looking forward to the palace game think we might be in for a shock.

 

[felmani26]

Shit like that makes me angry, still conceding from set pieces.

No one has lost their man because no one is man marking to begin with, they all have their zones and its so easy for people to run across them. We see it time and time again.

I mean what are the coaching staff doing? Can they not see this?

3-0 now.

Absolutely.

If it was good movement then fair enough but it was as simple as can be and everyone is standing round like statues scratching their nuts with a 'it's not my fault guv' look.

Needs to improve dramatically.

 

[mpickard2087]

What's not helping is that the midfield are offering no protection. Not easy for the rookie centrebacks when they have players charging through on goal at them and options either side for the ball to go to.

 

[yido4life]

That's what I like to see 10 statues, you don't need movement in the modern game.

Keep it up boys

Thanks gok

 

[Maske2g]

I hope this is ten. It will be the biggest and best way to tell Levy why we can't sell Bale.

All u listing the players we have out, centre half is a problem....but with Sando and Kaboul their is no guarantee that they will be sharp until at least October, and the is certainly no guarantee that new players will bed straight in

Sell Bale and we could have a disasterous season.

 

[Berglad]

for two of our more established players, Lennon and Parker have been incredibly poor in this pre-season

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

So Kaboul, Verts are 100% not going to be ready for Palace right?

Leaving us in a race against time for Dawson.

Need 2 more in for me but then how do you rotate 5 top centre backs

 

[have_it]

Fuck me, saw that it was on itv4, stopped mowing the lawn, just seen four minutes and now I'm back mowing the lawn.....

Mowing the lawn and posting on here.....that's multi-tasking!

Gutted we didn't get Moutinho.....his threaded balls into the danger area are just what we were lacking last season.
