Oh yeah, that ponytailed WB player is a cheat. Went down clutching his face and gesturing to the ref that he got an elbow in the head. Surprise surprise, replay shows nobody touched his face. ;angry
With Nobes presumably injured, and the 2 kids who played the full 90 presumably not able to play, and Obiang only good for 30 mins probably .... will we actually have a team for tomorrow? ;hmm
The plan was that those who played 30mins today will start tomorrow. So that team. ;ok
But, they are all due to be subbed off for the last 30mins, for
Byram - Burke - (Collins if not injured) - Cresswell Cullen (Noble if not injured) Holland - (Lanzini if not injured) - Arnautavic Martinez
If any of the potentially injured can't play, someone will have to either push themselves for the full 90 or one of the kids who played 90 yesterday will have to do another half an hour.
I doubt Chicarito could play - it'll be his 3rd day of pre-season!
I watched the game in the pub yesterday and I was very boring, but a couple of things stood out.
1. Sam Byram dives in so much and if he doesn't win the ball is wildly out of position. 2. Declan Rice looked very enthusiastic and physical. He was probably the stand out player for me. 3. Nathan Holland did absolutely nothing in the first half, but tore the left back to shreds in the first 15 of the second. 4. Makasi, Martinez and Cullen were extremely quiet, which was a shame

Rice is a star......deployed as a deep lying playmaker/midfielder he apparantly was class!!
Masuaka showed more in 30 mins than Cresswell did in 60
Obiang was different class in midfield compared to Noble, Fernandes, Cullen etc
Martinez is a poacher and if he isn't gonna get chances in the box his build up play leaves a lot to be desired
Holland is a exciting prospect who has impressed in every game
Byram and Collins were particularly poor in the first half
Adrian is a class backup probs the reason why he wants to leave
Ayew has been a ghost in every game He's played even in preseason
Hart
Zabaleta - Fonte - Ogbonna - Masuaku
Obiang - Fernandes
Snodgrass - Ayew - Arnautovic
Chicharito (?)
