If this makes Levy realize how desperately this team needs more defensive quality then this potential loss might actually be a win

Hopefully we get a first choice CB pairing in and keep Romero and maybe Davies as backup. The rest can go.

Our defence is ridiculous and our new GK is having a mare.
I hope he doe’s brilliantly but I’ve not understood why everyone is so enthusiastic about him. He’s very unproven in general and obviously in the premier league. Gollini was highly rated in Italy and had champions league experience yet was shocking.

Hopefully he’ll be great but he is clearly the low cost option vs Raya

We are so attacking that everytime we lose it in midfield there is 3 on two at the back. 😂 it’s gonna be a bumpy ride while they learn and we get new players settled.

Apart from the goals we have been the best side. If that makes you feel better ha!

More possession than we had combined all of last season 😂 😂

You can already see the ideas, which I love. Ange will die/sink with this ship and I respect that more than anything.

Obviously going to look sloppy/awful at times. Some have been there a few days, some a few weeks.

It’s like people in here don’t understand the concept of pre season friendlies and what they are for.

I wouldn’t draw any huge conclusions from what we are seeing today.

Not watching it but other than the poor goals how have we looked?
To be honest in terms of attacking movement and runs, pretty good. We have created 2 excellent chances and moved the ball well and pressed. More fun to watch for sure and if we were a little more clinical should have scored at least once.

Defensively it is as expected. Very very poor. Simple failure to defend a cross on back of a set piece. Hopefully this will strike some urgency into buying the new CBs we desperately need.
