Abraham have definitly put on some muscle which is good. Let down by his finishing again but otherwise he did alright.

Anyone struggling to find the game, try youtube I think there's at least a couple streams on right now. 

I suspect we may see a strong team 2nd half as well, perhaps Werner, Kai, Barkles, Rudi, Kova, Kante and anyone else who I've forgotten.

Think Barkley is the only one you’ve mentioned who we actually have on the bench. 
Dunno why Drinkwater is getting hate, he’s been all over the pitch today.

Great to get a chance to see Gallagher. He’s clearly a talent but nowhere near a finished product yet. I’d like to see him on loan at a Premier League club this season.

CHO has looked good so far. Gallagher is pretty tidy in possession. Baker has done well at the back. Tammy missed some decent chances but at least he is geting into the right positions.

So who are still on their hols? Three English lads, two Italians, one Dane, one Spanish captain, one Welsh lad... am I overlooking someone?

And a certain Norwegian…

Abraham sadly reminding us why we desperately need a striker. He’s never going to be a title winning striker 😞

Alonso taking the free kick off set piece specialist Ziyech FFS. Can we send him back to Italy yet pls

🤣 Respect our captain! (It's a captain armband on Alonso's arm, right?)

Who would've thought we'd live to see this day! 

Drinkwater and Gallagher have played well, Tammy’s positioning has been good but his finishing poor.

I will be surprised if Drinkwater stays with the squad this season but he deserves a chance to show what he can do in pre-season, just like all the others. With a new manager he effectively has a fresh slate.

Oh thank goodness, you edited out the one Frenchman who can make @Munkworth cry

Ziyech was quite lively too.

Will we ever win a game with the new kit though?

Has Oli come back? Please tell me he came back! 

Some things don't change like Alonso being the biggest defensive liability.

Double-D was very good. Is his personal life or something else preventing him from landing a good club? 

CHO was good also. 

Sterling looks strong however his downside seems to be his ball playing skills. Good pace though. 

Gallagher looks okay but nothing special. 

Really would love to see Tammy scores. Maybe too late for that now. 

Pace of this game is very impressive. 

I like the new kit. Sorry lads, I like it.

Agreed, I don’t see him staying either. Has a lot of personal problems as well. I wish him the best but I think it’s best for the squad if he moves on.

The kind of player who would do well at Newcastle. St James Park right in the middle of a great party city.

I didn't like it in pictures but seeing it in action gives me a different take.   It's ok

Chalobah cheekily taking the number 26 😂

The kit is not bad, its just no where near the Samsung/Addidas era.

I’ve gone all buffery 

They are sending in Mendy?  

wow
