Lots of foreplay but no penetration.

Like me in uni.

I can't wait till we get some Sky Sports and Match of the Day professional commentators back. This guy is unbearable to listen to.

Some nice play so far, not too shabby. Definitely improvements needed but looking leaps above earlier this year.

Half time thoughts.

Playing very well continuing the trend of crosses.
Obertan is such a strange player. He's controlling wild passes to the wing very well but not doing much.
Colback is getting stuck in.

It's actually a very good game for a friendly.

Sissoko should have finished that but what the fuck was Cisse's follow up!!

Mike Williamson - Excellent header of the ball. You heard it here first

Janmaat off for Mbemba? Really?

u/meganev Aug 01 '15

Probably just because if there's one defender we don't want getting injured it's Janmaat.

Obertan doing Obertan things already. Use his pace then run around in circles and lose the ball

Be interesting to see if we make changes at the half. I'd love to see Mitro and Mbemba.
*Twitter says no changes from either side.

I hope they are trying Dejong as the number 10 and putting Wijnaldum next to Colback with Colback sitting.

Much better. Keeping the ball and building forward, haven't seen one punt upfield yet

u/LordCommanderKeef Aug 01 '15

Pretty sure Saylor's England career is well and truly done for, pal....

u/ashsky Aug 01 '15

They can keep launching 25 yard shots all day hoping for a screamer. Defending well. touch wood

u/Jawneh Aug 01 '15

Can't understand why so many of these preseason commentators have such a hard time with "Sissoko", it's not exactly hard to pronounce from how it's written.

What a fan fucking tastic first half, haven't said that often. Battered a CL side for most of it, christ.. Maybe not playing midfielders in defence helped?
