Our build up play doesn't look too convincing

Yeah well they have only been together a week.

I really like Casade on the mid and Jackson so far! 

Think Casadei looks a class above everyone else so far, while Moreira's been sort of a black hole on the right side. Cucu is still closing down too recklessly and leaving gaps. Still not too bad for a week of training and bonding.

Eh compare it to the Wolves game under Tuchel (though that was mid season), would be good to see some more structure 

Btw anyone has news on Hutchinson? Thought he was at least going to have a few minutes in America after his came ons last season but it seems he isn't even there. 

Gusto, Casadei and Jackson all look really good.

One would expect even the reserves to be more dominate against a high end league 2 side.

I know it's a friendly but he looks totally out of his depth.

Enjoyed these 40 minutes. A lot different to the predictability of the past.

Beauty! Maatsen. 2-0

Yep. That’s it. Confirmed. Winning the Premier League next season. Ian Maatsen getting the Golden Boot.

Not bad so far

Yep, must go out on loan to a Championship side asap to get a grip of the game. Even the goal now he almost ruined the move but got lucky.

Lovely second goal

Enjoying it a hell of alot more than last seasons friendly against Arsenal. Dare i say there seems like a bit of a feel good factor kicking in🙂

Maatsan is very good technically. Loan did him well, and reality is we have no need for Cucurella with Hall and Maatsan behind Chilly. 

I think Casadei is better slightly further forward and haven’t been overly impressed, but I mean that in the nicest way as I think he’s a really high potential player. 

Overall though, Chalobah, Gusto, Humphreys, Santos, Casadei, Maatsan and Jackson all playing well. 

The referee is an absolute idiot...

Jackson looks a player. 
 

 

Cucurella still seems he is out of his depth...

Good game so far, no complain at all for the first 45 minutes of pre-season.

Wayward passing but other than that a pretty good half.

He looks very good technically, fast, and times his jumps really well. Impressed so far. 

Jackson looks class, gusto has done well too.
