Leeds United vs. Everton - 3pm KO - 1st August

It doesn't explain why we can't create any chances.

Either we are just that rubbish which hopefully isn't the case or the players couldn't really be arsed in the bad weather.

yes it does it was preseason friendly with maybe 3 at most of our main players on the pitch when we have another game tomorrow.

No, i don't think McAleny is a premier league player yet, i think he needs a proper loan to a championship club who play football like us first.

Browning as third choice cover yes, i'd send one of him or Galloway on loan for half a season, then send the other one on loan when one of them gets back, so they both het half a seasons football somewhere else, and come to us as third choice cover.

Tbh would probably keep Browning all season and have him as Coleman's backup as well as a CB backup.

Not taking that too seriously at all.

Cleverley looks good. I think he should start.

Barkley isn't very good. I can't put my finger on what is going on. He can't pass it 5 yards at the moment.

 

[Connor]

We should stick more past them tomorrow. Marcelinos (manager) comments on the radio this morning sounded like they aren't one bit arsed

Judging by the fact Rooney and Ferguson will be playing tomorrow, neither are we.

Mate we'll stick 2 past Villarreal tomorrow and this game will have never happened.

We're going to be hammered by Villarreal unless Rooney plays a blinder. They came 4th in La Liga and will pass us of the park.

Man City are 4-0 down at half time to Stuttgart. These games don't really count for much. It all about fitness. Half the team was youth and most likely the first time they've played with one another.

I can't get the stream, so I'm watching that one. Citeh has been shocking. It's not just 4 - 0, it's a bad 4 - 0.

Stuttgart have really been spiffy, to be honest.

 

[USABlue]

Tomorrows game will be a circus.
Dunc is going to play as long as he can and fatboy is playing

"fatboy" would walk into our team. The majority of the first XI will play tomorrow unlike this game.

....I have a theory, good pre-season means a poor season; poor pre-season means a good season. Hoping my theory is right.

It used to work out that lose games and win when the season started, we always lose at élan rd in the main anyway!

two things we've learnt today.

1) our U21s +a couple of reserves and the odd first teamer probably aren't good enough to win the Championship.

2) GOT has some proper bumpers posting on it. Jesus Christ what an embarrassment, get a grip FFS. Your Mums must be so fed up cleaning up all the toys some of yous are throwing out your pram. Going by today's posts quite a few of you are some way off puberty, not even a glimmer of some growing a pair. Proper Kopite Bells.

I want my £3.99 back, not because the sound was off, but because it wasn't billed as a Spanish comedy show.

Not sure how old Kone is, but I think he's having a mid life crisis.

Is it too late to sack Martinez and bring in Eddie Howe?

Please please stop I am cracking up here. The fume about a basically U21 v Championship side. Get some perspective mate

We're going to be hammered by Villarreal unless Rooney plays a blinder. They came 4th in La Liga and will pass us of the park.

The manager didn't seem arsed on the radio this morning and I don't think they have brought the best squad but I could be wrong about the squad. It will be a test though. It's a testimonial so it's bloody pointless anyway

Tbh would probably keep Browning all season and have him as Coleman's backup as well as a CB backup.

Provided he got regular game time, this could work. But if he was only getting ten minutes every five or six games it would stifle his development.

No chance. They're not arsed, we'll put a shift in and get 2/3. They've lost a good number of players too.

Ha ha Now that is a true perspective of todays game.....please take note peoples

 

[marty mcfly]

Barkley, Cleverly, Naismith, Kone and McCarthy could likely all start against Watford. That's the spine of our attack and midfield.

Rom has a hamstring injury. We probably won't see him till the 3rd game of the season at the earliest.

Don't kid yourself. Our main problem last season was creating chances and this pre-season hasn't shown any reason to believe that is likely to change.
