That burgundy shirt is gorgeous

That burgundy shirt is gorgeous

Hmmm not for me.

 

[FOX Franks]

I’m with TSC. I like the burgundy!

 

[Brown Nose]

Subs: Ward, Benkovic, Knight, Johnson, Daley-Campbell, Dewsbury-Hall, Choudhury, Leshabela, Tavares, Gray, Eppiah, Muskwe, Hirst, Iheanacho

The list of 'missing players' is down to 10 with that selection. We know the following are injured: Ricardo, Fuchs, Maddison but what about the this lot?

Missing: Jakupovic, Evans, Ndidi, Amartey, James, Perez, Ghezzal, Diabate, Silva, Slimani,

 

[Rock Fox]

I’m with TSC. I like the burgundy!

See? Call it burgundy - it's great, call it maroon and it's ... Meh!

 

[lcfcrules]

Except Ndidi, this looks like the starting eleven for the first game of the season.

 

[Feriol]

Mendy playing center back?

 

[Jeff]

Morgan off injured. Replaced by Johnson.

 

[FryattFox]

Morgan off injured. Replaced by Johnson.

If he's out for a few weeks, this would further emphasize that we're desperately short of CB cover.

Ryan Bennett anyone?...

 

[Volpone]

See? Call it burgundy - it's great, call it maroon and it's ... Meh!

It's maroon.

Isn't Amartey recovering from a second op towards the end of last season?

With Kasper and Ward playing Jakupovic will play in U23 games, Evans will be on international duty soon maybe he's joined up early? NDidi and Perez might be isolating due to restrictions as for the last 4 its clear they aren't wanted so who cares

 

[Jeff]

FT 0-0

 

[SilverFox]

If that doesn’t scream that we need some quality I don’t know what will. Really quite shite.

 

[foxybru]

So, Demarai Gray.

The best player on show in both games imho

 

[Volpone]

Evans is unavailable for the first 3 games anyway.

 

[TommyK]

3 chances in the second half by Gray, nacho and Barnes. All opportunities to out simple balls across the box for a tapin instead they all shoot.

 

[Rock Fox]

It's only a friendly, but still shows the slow-mo, back and sideways passing frustration of last season. As Gerry Taggart said - far too slow in moving the ball forward

 

[martin peters]

I thought that Mendy was excellent in the first half, a bit surprised that N’didi hasn’t shown up ye, is Maddison set to miss the kickoff
