    Next weeks game is a friendly so Hart can play.
  • alderzalderz
    Caballero went to Chelsea

    How about Elvis Costello, he didn't go to Chelsea ;whistle

    It was a bit difficult to tell.

    Communication seemed decent, and he was keen to get the game going quickly, if not always accurate with his distribution.. There was nothing that made you feel 'Wow' this is different gravy,' tbh.

    He seemed no less competent than Adrian or Randolph in picking the ball out of the net even though he may be slightly less experienced.

    yep, i was referring to league games. but i guess WHU_Champo was talking about the friendly, you're right. I guess a big defeat in that would also be a knock to confidence, but I'm more worried about the league matches after last year, if we have to play them with an inexperienced replacement for Adrian. Hope he stays. Or maybe we could sign Willy Caballero?!

    i thought Sakho was 100% fit ;lol
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    He is 100% fit to start training, which he is. Keep up.

    ... and Antonio, Vorse. In the UK with AC ;ok
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    I hope Adrian gives that wall a rocket! They just separated and let the ball through! ;angry
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Martinez ;goal Nice finish.

    Ridiculous positioning from Adrian, after a senseless foul by Obiang.

    Looks like we needed Hart after all.

    Good finish from Toni - missed the pass through - Snodders was it?!

    Yes, Snodders.

    Can't agree on the criticism of Adrian for the 1st, though. The wall didn't do it's job - the ball went right through the middle of them when they split.

    5th tier German side putting WHU to shame lol.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Ref send Reid off for a 2nd yellow ;doh

    That's not very friendly.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Squad depth looks good then 2 weeks before season starts.
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    I do think we need a bit of quality in the midfield. Kouyate and Obiang are very good at what they do, but Lanzini aside, we do lack some creativity.

    Certainly warming to the idea of Wilshere, TBH

    Sounds like snodgrass and Ayew are contributing almost nothing

    Snodgrass probably won't expect to be a starter this season but you'd hope Ayew does and after a poor (ish) first season he's not exactly chomping to go and impress even if it only is preseason

    I expect a lot more from our former record signing

    Defending is woeful

    3-2 down
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    We obviously don't have a defensive coach because we're clueless. I bet our 4 new signings are beginning to regret it.
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    how long till Old Trafford ;puzzled
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    Not long enough at this rate. Man City next week so that should be fun unless they let us play our entire squad.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Calm down thorn lol
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    Just joking Luke but our pre season doesn't appear to have gone totally to plan despite Slav keep saying we're exactly where we should be.

    Pre-season's about fitness.

    So in what way is it not going to plan?

    Reid will now be banned for the season's opener right?
  • HammerwombatHammerwombat
    Early days with a very new squad. I don't think we can take much from that friendly. Other than the ref was a bit moody, Adrian can make mistakes, and our defence can really do with some more time to gel. Mind you, that little pea bloke looks a bit tasty. How much did we get him for?

    Arnie is class, though.

    Let's not get carried away, he lost the ball a few times (Lanzini style) and was offside a few times too. And would have had at least 1 yellow card in the prem.

    Who ran scared in the wall for the first goal? I couldn't see properly?

    I think it was Fernandes, with Ayew standing firm.

    We have another game before the opener.

    Not sure how pre-season red cards work anyway.
