Pre Season Thread

[Attilladahun]

Herrera won't last long in the Prem he'll be booked so often!

[Daffy Duck]

What is with this ref??

[RedRum]

Lambert is not working in this setup. I'm sure he just needs time.

[Attilladahun]

Good to see Sterling keen to shoot

[danperkins]

Glennnnnnnnn! Stop doing that

[Hemingway]

Our fullbacks really are not very good.

[danperkins]

Tight half.. They look dangerous going forward. Poor Ricky Lambert has been invisible... It's just not his style of play... And he's being isolated too. Thought Skrtel and Gerrard were immense in that half.

I'm up at half 6..going be Bolloxed!

[RedRum]

Glen Johnson is by far the weakest link in the squad. Moreno can't come sooner. Where is Flanagan? Is he injured?

[Daffy Duck]

HT 1-0, we were much the better side, should have had another pen as well.

Ref is a total cunt, signaled for two deliberate handballs and a dive, but gave a yellow for none of them, while all three decisions were wrong in the first place anyway.

Poor Lambert looks lost out there.

Yeah. Ricky hasn't shown a lot so far in pre season. He's not the answer up top on his own, that's for sure.

[danperkins]

Definitely mate, would do ok in a 4-4-2...but he really has struggled with our formation and style of play. Really want him to do well.

Took the words out of my mouth. Every single time he's had the ball he's given it away and keeps letting Young cross it.

I'd rather Flanno and Enrique, not to mention Moreno if he comes in. I still don't think LB is a priority though, more RB to replace that waste of space.

[Fredo]

Full backs are always going to be vulnerable in the way we play. They push so high up the pitch. We've defended well on the whole. I'd say that we're improving defensively. Sakho's been excellent.

[calvoboy]

Lambert could do with a goal. I honestly keep forgetting he's on the pitch

To be fair they've got three at the back looking after him. It means we've got more in midfield, and so are having the better of the play, but it does leave him isolated.

Ref is abysmal, I would be thinking of conspiracy theories involving tournament sponsors who also sponsor utd were it not for the fact that the officials have been utter **** all tournament. Don't know how people watch MLS if this is the usual refereeing fare.
