Midfield of Lucas/Allen/Gerrard looks pretty average ,with Only Couthinho to offer "something" different.
Borini/Aspas "Nice" guys but don't capture your imagination.
The most worrying insight for me is that we pretty much look the same, good with the ball ,glimpse of excellence and a lot of casual mediocre plays. Not good enough for a CL spot. We are stuck in that low gear mode ,unable to change pace.[/quote]
40 degrees in the shade and humidity levels reaching 90 % and this moaning fecker wants them to run for 90 minutes ....priceless.[/quote]
Where the fck did I ask them to run 90/45/15 minutes? did you even bother reading the post? typical illiterate clown.
What I wrote is that we are playing a very monotone pace ,very controlled ,rather slow movement which makes it hard to surprise the defending team. You don't have to run 90 minutes (I guess in a month we should) but we need to be able to change gear when attacking.
Should have drawn pictures but I doubt you would have understood them.[/quote]
We have played 3 won 3 without conceding in pre-season so far, Chelsea played Thailand Allstars and only won 2-0, we just beat the national team 3-0 which really should have been 6, plus the the conditions as RBG said. I really think you're over reacting, its only pre-season lets see what happens over the next 3 games.[/quote]
Mate ,I don't care for results ,it's pre-season ,we are playing mainly for PR reasons (which is perfectly ok) ,i'm trying to look at the structure ,tactics and new talents...Regretfully I don't see a world of distance from last year. We will be a GOOD team this year ,as we were last year ,but I don't see the breakthrough in this squad ,Talent wise or tactic wise. It's by far not too late...We have time to change but we need to realize it now rather then later.
