MikeO Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 so we play arsenal in the final. let's hope we get a preseason trophy. The trophy is irrelevant, let's hope we get a good performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeQuince Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Look at the team sheet. McAleny wasn't listed in the squad despite making the trip. Don't tell me he injured himself in training? Or is Martinez rotating the squad? Can only make 6 subs in these matches. He is probably just less important to our plans than players who need to prepare for the season as regulars in our squad. I'm sure he will see further action in the remainder of the preseason though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. What's the point in playing the same players in every pre-season match? It's the time for experimentation and learning about the entire squad.

milesey05 Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Just watched the game, nothing to get excited about if I'm honest. I know it was only a friendly and shouldn't judge some players but......Pienaar and Hibbert need to be moved on and replaced. They really struggled out there today and was it was painful to watch. Liked Jags, Stones, Galloway, Browning and Cleverley. Lukaku deserved a goal for the effort he put in, also get the feeling he will fall out with Gerry if he keeps making runs without getting the ball. Only a friendly I know but at least Saturdays all about a final with a few beers. markjazzbassist and Romey 1878 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 I actually felt sorry for Pienaar, thought he played OK...just got battered. And lets be honest most of thos would have been yellow in the premier. Also a lovely ball through to Lukaku for his disallowed goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 But ye the young lads at the back looked very tidy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinn31 Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Agreed. What's the point in playing the same players in every pre-season match? It's the time for experimentation and learning about the entire squad. Fair enough, but a few youngsters I've never seen before (Antonee Robinson) were named to the team sheet.

Shukes Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 I think a few of them have been brought along for the squad experience and not necessarily to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice 3.30 ko here and I'll have no problem finding a bar showing it now it's Arse playing. Hopefully there are one or two more Blues around to join up with.

We're in the middle of nowhere but the nearby resort is relatively small and a lot of the bars with TVs don't open until 3.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Fair enough, I'm just used to Sky being on everywhere! That was the reason the site wasn't showing it live then? They were saying during the Swindon game it would be shown with a 4 hour delay because its a Premiership competition... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibdane Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Having a lovely time https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CKCnG5SVEAAxSjK.jpg:large Coleman always looks like he's causing trouble. Interestingly enough, everyone is sitting where I'd expect. Veterans together, Spaniards, Belgians... ...And it looks like Coleman is next to McCarthy.
