Fingers crossed that Robbo’s injury isn’t as bad as we fear. But we have three players who can fill in there, Milner, Tsimikas and Beck who performed well 2nd half.
First half we played some good football. Elliot was brilliant, looking forward to seeing him play this season. Salah looked sharp. Mane was impressive. Jota did ok and took his goal well.
VVD got a good run out and his long range passing was imperious. Matip did well, as did Trent whose own passing we know how good it is!
Milly and Naby did well. Alisson made some good saves and his handling was assured.
Second half was a little bit of a let down, but hey, its a friendly and the opposition were decent.
One more game to come tomorrow night and then we have Norwich.
Salah will score against the Canaries. I say he’ll get a brace.
The big positive for me today was Elliot’s performance. I thought he was outstanding. The negatives were the chances they made but never finished caused mainly the high line we always play. Our playing the ball out from Allison and defenders looked so uncomfortable. I know it’s the fashion these days but for me we ought to be alternating in sometimes.
A good friendly and a good workout for the lads.
they are gash during the season as well… taa and milly jus take shit corners… we need to figure it out… maybe borrow shaq jus for the corners and free kicks
I’m not even sure what our best line up is but the one I’m excited to see is Alisson, Trent, Konaté, VvD, Robertson, Hendo, Thiago, Keita, Salah, Jota/Firmino, Mané.
