  • i know its pre-season but its our final one before the season begins and we still don't look clinical enough. Anderson for me still has a lot to prove. Has pace and technical ability just needs to get involved more and put himself about like Arnie.

  • They need to wake up, we just dont track runs

    In the case I was talking about, Noble was trying but he was just miles too slow.
  • Nobes had to choose to cover the run or cover inside. He may have made the wrong choice, but he was doing his job.

    I'm enjoying the fact that we have a clear shape, and a plan as to how we go forward. Feel Arnie is being sacrificed to make room for Chicarito, and its not really working. Hope we see him CF v Liverpool with Anderson and Antonio/Yarmo up with him.
  • Diop on for Rocky.

    agreed, i think if we had another midfielder in and went 4-5-1 we would look a lot better Lanzini in the hole would have been perfect.
  • Arnie is doing that job well, but he's definitely better for us up front instead of Chicarito
  • Lovely ball from Arnie out to Cresswell (who seems to have run off his knock) but his cross misses everyone in C&B.
  • Antonio just spooned one from 2 yards out to about 30 yards into the air and Row Z
  • Antonio blasts miles over form inside the 6 yard box

    Apart from that he's looked very good...very strong and quick and won the freekick


    Masuaku for Cresswell
    Snodgrass for Antonio
    Martinez for Herandnez
    Anderson for Obiang
  • Nice run by Antonio results in him being dragged back, free kick out wide was delivered well by Anderson and bounced through to Antonio who blasts over when he really shoulda scored.
  • Subs now, Masuaku for Cresswell, Snodgrass for Antonio and Obiang for Anderson I think, maybe Martinez for Hernandez as well.
  • lol some bloke in the stands "SNOD-GRASSSSSSSSSSSSS"
  • uh-oh Arnie injured...........
  • Slightly worrying is the fact that hardly anyone has had a full 90 minutes game.
  • edited August 2018
    Arnie down briefly but back up ;phew

    Rice on for Wilshere.
  • thorn

    Not sure how else you get everyone game time.

    I'd be much more worried if 5 or 6 players were well short of match time.
  • Stumps in the cricket, India on 110-5, chasing 194.
  • Arnie? A mere flesh wound.
  • Grey I know but it seems 60 minutes has been the max. Still he's seemed so far to know what he's doing so I trust he has it all in hand.
    Different to last season when we had the same scenario but were dead on our feet after 60 minutes in the league games.
  • A whole bunch today getting 85 at least.
  • thorn

    Again, that's clearly to give others 30 minutes.

    We've also had double and triple training sessions, played two games a week, and Nobes and Arnie are still out there.

  • Well hernandez is just back from holiday, cresswell had his first game, Antonio and Wilshere are notoriously injury prone and Anderson has had a few knocks
  • have I jinxed Rocky since the handle extension ;hmm
  • Betway cup, 8 played the full 90.
  • Stil lnot convinced by our ability to deal with pace/movement but theyve bought into his philosophy and we seem to have an identity and good shape
  • Good workout. Thought we looked comfy throughout.
