Pre-Season July/August 2016 (and Olympic Stadium opening ceremony)

And where is obiang

EXETERHAMMER

and Randolph?

grey_til_I_dye

I guess for the GK position, Randy doesn't need time whereas Slav might give Spiegel a half?

You'd like to hope if Slav is happy to play Brian at LB, then when an LB arrives he'll trust him at RB.

Hamstew

Ripped apart

This could get most embarrassing. Good job Juventus are not as advanced in their training as us.

thornburyiron

That free kick needed a Dimi

grey_til_I_dye

Wouldn't say 'embarrassing' regardless.

We played on Thursday, and are missing about half our best XI.

Juventus are, after all, halfway decent...

grey_til_I_dye

It went BOOM (well, trickle...)

;ac

thornburyiron

By embarrassing I meant it could end up quite a heavy defeat.

Moojor

Boom!

MrsGrey

All the subs used except Spiegel. He must feel a bit ;tumbleweed

2-3 Slav out!

SuzanneClaret

I thought Juve where wuslity (what is this word my iPhone thought it needed to replace quality with) and played most of the game in third gear.

Great day out ;scarf

Good workout

Shame our unbeaten home record went....

Now where's those smileys

;wink
;whistle

MunichHammer

Slav, friendlies don't count. So we are still unbeaten at home

Slaven_Cups_His_Beard

Yeah silly me MH, silly me

;ok

Lukerz

Who wants to start the Chelski match thread?

TwistandShout

Just back home from the game. Really impressive stadium and the bubbles at the start was brilliant. Hopefully the atmosphere during the game will improve when its a ccompetitive game.

Best players for me were Cullen, Byram and Carroll. Cullen especially was very bright.

Slaven_Cups_His_Beard

Doesn't look to shabby does it

Lukerz

How was Byram? Did he look good at LB?

TwistandShout

Thought Byram looked fairly comfortable although I'd prefer him at right back ;ok

Hammerwombat

Grand day out. We will be ok. ;ok

KingHammerAbroad

Carroll looked pretty sharp when he was involved, he was left isolated in the main but two bullying powerful headers for his goals. Fingers crossed he can stay fit this season.

We looked very weak up front after he went off. Byram looked ok at right back imo.

I did get the feeling that Juve took it easy after going 2-0 up, but credit to us for at least getting back into the game.

IronHerb

Thundering header for the second goal from Carroll. Good pre season with 4 goals. Go on AC, show us what you can do.

Hamstew

I think Byram is a good player

Hamstew

Also though Enner was one of our best players

MrsGrey

Enner does like a ;biggrin

SuzanneClaret

I'm not sure he knew much about it...

Moojor

AC really doesn't care who is in his path when he is getting a header.
