Wish Maddison would do what Spence just did, with better final pass or shot at the end. He definitely has ability.

I'm not buying the 'it's preseason' excuse. We conceded 5 goals in our previous 2 games against poor opposition - it could've been a whole lot more. We're still giving up chance after chance. This is Bayern's reserves and they've already had 10 shots vs our one in the first half.

Can't recall the last time I saw as bad a drop off as Maddison. First few months he was unreal and seemed like what we had been missing for years. Gone to a point where I struggle to see a benefit to playing him. Shocking.

We played with zero CBs you forgot to mention

TBF although it's not been pretty, it's great preparation as Bayern's press is just about as good as we'll face in the Prem.

Getting in the hard training sessions now in the hot weather. 2 weeks until the season starts (on Monday for us) with just 1 more friendly. I'd be more worried if this was the performance next week after a less intense week training.
