Honestly, it was a primary school shit show. Wasps following a ball around aimlessly. I couldn't even figure out what the plan was supposed to be other than chasing the ball like kids after a lost balloon and watching Daka trip over his own feet.Technically we look to have gone backwards about a million percent
Tactically, well, there is nothing actually to say. Maresca was criticised for not having a plan B, but at least he had a ****ing plan A. There is no pattern of play whatsoever, apart from the ludicrous idea to make the left back charge up the wing and get in Mavididi’s way. Apart from that, anything ****ing goes.
Do we press, do we block, do we go long, do we hold, do we contain? **** knows, because they’re genuinely all over the ****ing place looking like they don’t know where to move to or what to do when they get there.
Never seen anything quite like it.
They weren't last pre-season either. Having that game rained off against Spurs, travelling so far to train in oppressive heat, and having a training match against a pub team over there.... well, it all guaranteed a disastrous season.Sounds like things are going well then.
We shall see.They weren't last pre-season either. Having that game rained off against Spurs, travelling so far to train in oppressive heat, and having a training match against a pub team over there.... well, it all guaranteed a disastrous season.
I didn’t mention anything about results, because I knew this old chestnut would be dusted off.The year we won the Premier League, we drew against Mansfield in pre season
Tenner well spent then?
You just didn't want anyone looking at the old chestnut, because then they'd remember that you went to the PSG v Chelsea friendly instead of Mansfield. Plastic...I didn’t mention anything about results, because I knew this old chestnut would be dusted off.
Would have been a 8,000 mile round trip for the Mansfield friendly.You just didn't want anyone looking at the old chestnut, because then they'd remember that you went to the PSG v Chelsea friendly instead of Mansfield. Plastic...
Match Thread Post in thread 'Mansfield v Leicester'
Just got back from the PSG-Chelsea friendly.
It ended 1-1. This is where the similarities end.
Should have gone....it's an Enzo master class so far.. ..Would have been a 8,000 mile round trip for the Mansfield friendly.
Apparently Man City and Chelsea are playing down the road tonight. Not going.
Really Bob?Should have gone....it's an Enzo master class so far.. ..
Yeah, it’s really bobReally Bob?
Still not worth it. At least losing 1-0 to a Bundesliga side is a step up from losing 1-0 to a Serie B side. Progress.€2.99 on the Augsburg website, for a monthly subscription.
