    From what Pellegrini (and various players) have said, round about now in the pre-season is when they shift the emphasis on to tactics/formations (whereas it was more on fitness before). Players that were either just making up the numbers, or were being assessed for their futures, will (imo) gradually be sidelined and we'll see more clearly how we'll be lining up at the start of the season.

    Still no Cresswell. Must have been some knock he got.

    Is there a way to watch this game online?

    Who knows

    We always seem to name 9 subs, thought in preseason games you could name 11

    Thanks Grey!

    Should be a good test today

    This is their last preseason game before the new season so at the very least they should be sharp and fit

    They've also won the last 3 preseason games

    Antonio was left out because Wednesday was his first outing since his long layoff.

    1-0, think it was Anderson ;biggrin
  • HammerdublinHammerdublin
    Who scored? Looks like it was Anderson...

    Just watched the goal again, it was a beautifully weighted pass by Yarmie (I think) that Fredericks crossed first time on the run and Anderson guided a header into the corner.

    Oh dear.

    Rocky, who I thought looked very tidy against Villa, fell asleep and let his man waltz into the box to receive a pass and slot home past Fabianski.

    That wasnt a great goal to conceed
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    We havent started very well, they look sharper and quicker across the pitch atm

    But i think its good for us that ipswich are really pressing us high up the pitch

    This is what we are gonna experiance against the Pool

    Goodness me, not sure if that was a badly missed offside, but 2 of their players were completely unmarked in the box, headed onto the post thankfully. Either that, or our offside trap needs some work.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Wilshere in the book
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Rocky not at the races today, complete contrast to Villa, given the ball away cheaply again.

    Anderson on corner taking duty atm.

    Needs practice ;doh
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Fabianski flapping unconvincingly at a cross, not a good sign, but fortunately comes to nothing.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Nice run into the box by Arnie, but he can't quite get his shot away.
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Not at the races today
    All quite slow from us and very sloppy

    Would like for us to try press higher up the pitch the last few years weve never really shown that

  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Better corner that time from Anderson, from the left this time. Jack now taking them from our right.

    Great chance for Yarmie, but won't quite sit right for him and the eventual shot is blocked wide.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Lovely work by Masuaku, gets to the byline and pulls back to Arnie in the box but he can't get his shot or a pass away.

    1-1 HT
  • HamstewHamstew
    Imo a massive difference between Noble/Rice and Obiang/Kayoute in these two games

    Not bad i guess,ipswich playing at a higher gear but not much to seperate

    Wolves bournemouth and Brighton are losing to championship opposition right now so nothing to worry about

    Anderson looks way off from match fit it must be said

    Centre backs falling asleep a couple times as well
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    Think it is safe to suggest that Kouyate - Wilshere -Obiang is not the MF triumvirate we are looking for.
