May only be a friendly but take our game vs Sunderland in a swimming pool. Sunderland started pre season a couple of weeks earlier than us and what a difference it made. We were nowhere near their standard and they have a whole team of new players
That was just fitness though. As you say they had a team of new players, while we fielded a team who know each other well, and they beat us. They were collectively fitter and the double sessions should sort that problem out.
