Entertaining second half. Aquilani looked lively, some good crosses from Insua, Kuyt playing like it was a premiership match  :D

I think Wilson still thinks he's playing in the Scottish premier

Sounds as if there are more positives coming out of it than last years pre-seaason disaster......

I doubt Kuyt even has the ability to relax for a friendly. He is the kind of man that times himself while changing diapers and then tries to beat it.

Impressive display from Mr.Aqualung. :D

Altogether a much better preseason already than we had last season

Entertaining friendly and good run out. Charlie Adam and Acqua did alright I thought, some nice passes and touches. Not keen on Shelvey and Wilson personally and Insua looks like hes put some timber on. Few to weed out really, they just dont improve some of these boys. Ngog is a funny one as well, one minute hes falling over the ball next hes tapping in his second, drives me mad him.

What the last 2 games emphesized ,although a known fact ,we desperatly need a CB and a LB. Defence was a total sham and signing Doni looks fair considering the easy goals our Subs gave away.

I don't know about Ngog ,no matter how clumsy or wierd or thick or slim he looks he just doesn't stop scorring. And at the end of day that is what we expect a striker to deliver.

Aqua looked lively although this is in no way the intensity we would face in the PL...Meireles i would selll ,Carrol plays as he looks this days...Alltogether an entertaining display..I liked the fact it showed our weakneses ,makes it easier fixing what's wrong.

so the defence did well :D 

we might end up taking the Kevin Keegan if you can score 3 we can score 4 approach in the season like, should be interesting and raise some heart beats :D

In general we were decent tho, pitch was shocking and the defence in the first half (which looks closer to our first team defence, didn't look too bad). 10 goals in 2 games, I'm happy so far

Just to add as well theres loads of pics on the offal of the fans in Malaysia, really hits home just how big our club is over there, I bet some are about as passionate as some over here. YNWA

I think Maxi like Meireles has improved tremendously under Kenny and Ngog should be given another season if he continues with this kind of goal scoring form. 10 goals in 2 games but our defence was shocking but it could be that they took a nap because we were leading comfortably. We definitely need one more central defender to avoid this kind of poor defending.
