Is that 5 league games against Brighton and 5 losses for ETH now?
Using preseason results tells me you're either literally dumb, or bad faith
Edit: or impaired, I suppose
No team can't do it without their first choice Left back out. This is on the people above.It’s a good result considering quality of opposition and our injuries
Disagree the manager by his own admission highlighted the need to win pre season fixtures.
In the post match CS interview he stated as much as it being a trophy lost.
Bottom line is the team lost game the manager intended to solely win and now on the basis of todays game looks like the trend has continued.
Pre season objectively is not that important but coming off one of the worst seasons in the club's recent history alongside the managers general struggles with how the team has played throughout his tenure it changes the dynamic significantly.
Not only that, we carried on playing some perverse formation. What was the logic in putting Zirzkee no.10, Rashford upfront, Bruno right only for it then to change to Zirkzee upfront, Bruno back to no.10 about 15 minutes later?His subs were terrible and added nothing.
Happens every fecking game. There’s never sustained control and pressure, we shoot our wad early with manic pressing and then by the 70th minute resort to hyper direct end to end stuff in a roll of the dice to win it.Gave up the midfield the last 15 minutes.
