Dull? The early pre season games are the dull ones when you basically have 2 XI's playing a half each and the team is full of kids.

Good warm up for next week though, you don't want to play a team of no hopers you want a decent test.

Strange game that ,but I suppose it bodes well when you allow a team with the quality of Napoli to dominate possession and  still give them a tin hat ,I definitely thought Keita was struggling with their quick and at times instinctive passing but then it was a strange midfield the manager picked to surround Keita with. I agree I'd like to see us be a lot more rapid with our passing and Keita afforded the opportunity to roam more freely with Fabinho given the more restricted role.

Yeah Jurgen wasn't too happy with the way we lost our shape during the latter stages of the first half, the midfield was all over the place, our fullbacks were constantly left defending 2 on 1 situations. Second half was much better though.
