Can't believe it, but I feel confident saying we were the better side against a CL contender. Also lol at Dawson being the MOM
My thought when the takeover went through was that we would have to rotate out 95% of the squad between the winter and summer window. But we have some really good pieces if we stay up to build off off.
5 at the back against Chelsea. Joelinton, Shelvey, Willock all out. ASM is on the bench. Going to be a tough game to get a point.
Tough lineup with so many sick. Here’s to hoping it’s still close at the hour mark and bring ASM off bench for last half hour
Kind of surprised they got a deal done. Curious what his expected role is going to be, and what the wages are.
First preseason “game” today. Beat Gateshead 5-1. Looked more like a glorified scrimmage. Miggy had two. Joelinton was everywhere. Bruno didn’t play as he just got to camp a few days ago.
3-0 win in our second friendly today against 1860 Munich. Slow start, but seemed like they dominated the second half. Botman made his debut as well.
He got so much undeserved flak from fans. Was never a striker, yet was continually thrown into the spot. So happy Howe came in and put him at CM. I honestly don't know if there's any other CM's like him in the league with the size and athleticism.
Miggy has two more goals today against Benfica. I'm thinking we should just give him a shot at the RW spot.
Split squad 1 beat Atalanta today 1-0. Chris Wood with the PK. Elliot Anderson looked really good from what I saw. Split squad 2 plays Bilbao Sunday in preseason finale. We need a striker before the window closes. Because if Wilson goes down, Wood isn’t it.
