First 15 mins were poor as they pressed us into mistakes trying to play out from the back. Janssen had absolutely no service, but he looks slower than Kane (at this stage). Can't really pick anybody out from the first half in a positive way, but imo Chadli was terrible throughout, zero contribution. Second half much better and at the back CCV seemed to steady himself. I thought Winks made a very positive contribution to our improvement. First viewing of Marcus Edwards, he is so small but built like a little pocket battleship. He is tricky but difficult to judge his pace as no space to run into against Juventus. Most of younger players did ok but I thought Ball has a torrid time , especially first half. Son contributed very little.
Janssen hardly got a kick,not his fault we weren't good in the first half and only got into the game after both teams had made a load of substitutes. Young team, the defenders couldn't cope with Juventus strikers. I think they took their foot off the gas at 2 nil. When they were two up so quickly and we had no defenders who had played a real game before. I feared we'd get hammered. We improved though, some of the kids did OK Winks was good so was Harrison. No injuries as a pre season work out I think it's fine.Had a quick scroll through to see how Janssen performed - little mention other than the odd entry here and there.
Anyone else watch it and see how he performed?
I saw bits after the Spurs goal and noticed Wanyama to basically play the way we expect him to - like Hulk.
