Be keen to see what happens with Bajcetic now. Jurgen and Pep have had a really good luck at him in DM this pre-season. 

 

Clearly they know what Hendo and Milly already offer there but you cannot help but feel that there is an opportunity there

If Morton eventually moves on to Blackburn on loan and Phillips makes his anticipated move then he assumes the Morton/Rhys Williams role in the side.

The only positive I can say about this game, and preseason is. 

 

Last time we where this shit in preseason, we won the league

Will the real Koita please stand up.

Gomez wearing a heart rate monitor during the game is odd.

[Funkasy]

They all are ffs.

I don't understand the logic of giving Nunez the majority of his minutes with a mixed/second team this pre-season.

 

We know what Firmino can do, he has a deep understanding of how the first team operates and how it plays, playing him with the second team for fitness makes the most sense.

It's because Firmino is clearly starting the season in the first 11 so it would make no sense to have him play with a b team.

Some dig from Trent.

[Chocoholic]

They all wear heartrate monitors at all times, don't they?

Yeah that's true, having only been here 6-7 years we need to get him up to speed with the system as well as his fitness.

No, what's definitely true is that you should play your striker you plan to start the season with, with backups during the pre season,  and only play him with the starting 11 on the first game that matters.

[Harry's Lad]

Penalty all day long that was.

[Lee909]

Some of the tackles have been ridiculous seeing as it's a supposed friendly

We're talking all bar one pre-season game so far this season, this isn't the first team tune up before the season begins (which you presume will be the Charity Shield).

Defo a pen at the end. Who cares, it's a friendly. We played well. 

[HBenn]

Having seen the highlights of Nunez from the first half struggling to see what the fuss is about. Loads of examples of him causing problems, hitting the bar and putting himself in positioning to score goals.

 

Could easily have scored a couple. Loads of intelligent running.

It's just a case of trying to hard and not relaxing.

Hate games when the ball wont go in the fucking net for us.. Not helped by some shitty finishing tonight.

The way we structure pre season is not conjusive to winning games in pre season (which do not matter anyway results wise) but it clearly works in terms of getting us ready for the stuff that does matter.

Agree. Plus he may not be as used to training as hard as this and we all know when you are knackered your touch isn't quite there.

[Chip Butty]

Didn’t even know we were playing tonight. So up to date with this fitbaw fingy. 

[Babb'sBurstNad]

A good workout and no major injury scares. That'll do.

Surprising considering they played like Dave Bassetts Wimbledon. 

[TheRedMachine]

Another training session over with.
