    Temps are in the 30s so a bit draining. It was 36 at 5pm.

    If Antonio goes to Palace for 15m then they have mugged us off twice for Decent British Born players with Tomkins...

    Good end of the half here from us

    Antonio and Snodgrass lacking a bit of class but both are really putting in a shift here and causing some problems

    Bit more structured & organised this game. Not quite as open as the other fixtures. I get the feeling Balbeuna is a bit of a liability. Seems to have pretty ropey distribution which puts us in trouble.

    You can add 5 degrees at least, for 'in the sun' temps .

    Coms on German TV are impressed by Antonio and Snoddy.

    Well worked goal, good work from Snodgrass to cross for Martinez for a header from a couple yarcds out

    Holland & Oxford played for West Ham XI today beating Billericay 4-0

    Adrians penalty was class against Mainz
  • MunichHammerMunichHammer
    I was impressed how close Adrian was to saving a lot of the penalties. He was in the wrong corner only once, if I remember correctly, giving us a vastly improved Chance of him actually saving something.

    Thought there were some decent periods of play too, quick link up play, movement off the ball, one-two touch passing. Didn't always result in a chance or shot, but got us in to the byline on several occasions. I counted Antonio, Zabaleta, Arnie, Snodgrass all getting into a position to pull it back or across goal on at least two occasions each. Masuaku I think has had an impressive pre-season. Rice looks an imposing DM & we may well need Antonio to start at Anfield if Yarmo is carrying a knock which Pelle seems to imply. Goal we let in was slightly disappointing again as it was too easy for him to control that cross & swivel, but we were unlucky with the deflection. No injuries from what I could see either. Players also seemed to have a decent mentality during the game. A lot of annoyed faces when we conceded. Always nice to win a pre-season cup too. Better to win than lose. Hopefully one last decent performance & result on Friday with no knocks & then a good week before Liverpool.

    Some quality reporting from Sky apparantely we drew 0-0 with Mainz and then lost 7-6 on penalties :-1:
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    ;lol The headline is at odds with the actual match report it is attached to. ;doh
  • WhitehorsehammerWhitehorsehammer
    Nothing unusual there then!

    They probably just assumed the Germans won on penalties? ;hmm
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Hey! We don't lose on penalties anymore.
