Those highlights are something else. Playing for a 0-0 in a friendly. You love to see it.

Sideways and backwards from the kick off. Total possession at the start, but hardly crossed the half way line. When they got the ball they ran straight at us.  I know its very early days, but it doesn't look good.

May as well set your stall out early Kus,got to defend as there is nobody likely to be troubling the oppo keepers.

Think you’re right, he can only work with what he’s been given. We won’t go down but if we finish in the top half i’ll eat my hat.

Mills looks the master of backwards passing.

Vera looks even more out of shape than when he arrived last season.

Sefill looked sluggish.

We will have to wait and see if they can improve.

Maybe LB wants possession football even if it means 38 passes inside your own half. That should bring the fans back in huge numbers.

I'm not that confident we will stay up. Will depend on teams being worse I fear

Maybe he is adapting the tactics to suit the conditions, especially the heat? 

 

Focusing on keeping possession is something most top teams do in the heat.

Good point. I hadn't thought about that.

Again, a more competitive league, it's tough down here but sooner or later we'll click and it's back to groundhog day in the third tier

Quality side? They’re in the 3rd tier in Morocco. An amateur division. It’s embarrassing

I thought there was a general consensus that pre season friendlies (especially the first one) are meaningless?

 

Far too early to draw any conclusions. 

 

😮

They also score the odd goal!

That's a myth, you can tell a lot from players in friendlies, hence some trialists aren't taken on  and others are.

Running out of patience now . The mythical bigger budget appears to be another lie . In 50 years I don't think   I have seen a bigger cluster fck than this current set up. Cant see where our first goal is coming from let alone point .We must be favourites for relegation , and probably in the quickest time ever. We need a minimum 4 first team starters maybe 6 . Hope I am wrong but very depressing.

No Morecambe are at 7/2 followed by Macc at 9/2, even I would be shocked if either of those two finished above us.
