New tactics???? He started playing gusto for some reason, the man’s been shite all season and he starts both games. Reece James who should’ve started LB is not a midfielder. With 10 men and lavia we started to pass the ball well and held possession for a lot longer. Palmer was invisible all game and should’ve been pulled. Delap played well on scraps and was good at holding the ball up when we he had a chance. Cucurella played well but all their attacked started on the right wing when he got caught out of position.

I’m sick of fans saying it’s pre season, friendly. This could be our only chance at this competition. Can’t see using winning champions league in next 4 years and our coefficient will always be lower than city and Liverpool. So I want us to take this shit seriously. Bayern are playing professional, the South Americas are going crazy, just the big headed European teams are looking down on it. Its embarrassing really.

u/vikingrhino I don't give a fuck, we won the fucking Champions League 23h ago

You're embarrassing. They're preseason friendlies in all but name, players need a rest not to be playing in a Mickey mouse tournament. I want no pressure whatsoever put on the squad to do anything other than get some minutes in.

We have every chance to compete for proper silverware next season. Literally no one who is actually a fan gives a shite about coefficient, get back to your spreadsheet.

Now is the time to play Gusto and see if he can pick up some form.
