  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.

  How was Byram? Did he look good at LB?

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

  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.

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

  I think Byram is a good player

  Also though Enner was one of our best players

  Enner took one for the team from AC when the latter scored his second goal too, but seemed to be smiling about it as he checked all his teeth were still in place.

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

  Ball, head, goal! What is there to care about?

  Anybody know whether we went to 3 at the back when Collins, Oxford and Burke came on at HT? Or did Oxford go in midfield? Or did Burke go at RB and Antonio on the wing?
• IronHerb

  August 2016

  Burke went to right back and Antonio was pushed forward.
• Lukerz

  Cool. ;ok
  
  Was hoping we might've tried out a back 3/5.

  Heavier than the average family size car.

  But not as heavy as Lanzini Higuain.

  Hey Grey, thanks for the Band clip. Incredible group.
  Interesting that all of us are coming up with so many different suggestions on formation, players etc. Spoilt for choice, for a change! IMO Bacca should be told to wait until we've sold another forward. Let him chew on it ;wave

  Imagine spending that much money on a player n he turns up in that state...
  
  I know there a week behind us but still... He looked big..
  
  Maybe Big Mac just scarred me... ;sofa ;burger
