Pre-season Games - Villarreal v Leeds

[Orange Box]

Not sure what I think about Live-Now coverage. For my money I’d like a bit of post game reflection and player interviews. Instead I get the arm end of a groundsman replacing divots. Mmmm.

[Cjay]

best performance of the pre season, doesn't say much though tbf.

Klich didnt look right after that muscle issue he had.

Llorente and Firpo probably missing vs Manure.

Midfield still looking very suspect.

Better than Ajax but not a great performance again and fitness and injury concerns are mounting.

[Scoobychief]

plenty of work to be done before transfer seasons ends. man u will walk it past us and rub salt into the wounds when costa and roberts are brought on.

[Cjay]

Well what have we "learned" from pre-season? We're weak in CM, Rodrigo isn't a 10, we have no game changers from the bench and Roberts and Costa aren't good enough. Oh wait, we knew that last season but nothing has been done about it.

[SG90]

Maybe so and i suppose with covid you can kind of understand it, but at the same time with ffp relaxed and us in theory having not one but two multi billionaire investors you would have thought we would have money for key areas?

Although as mentioned before i have very serious doubts about the 49ers and just how much of the money is their own, strongly suspect the majority of it isnt and comes from people like Lowy and the Youtube bloke and they are just a front creaming a bit off the top from their investors like most funds of that type.

Fans need to stop going on about owners being billionaires. Americans don't invest, they take. Look at Kroenke and the Glazers, the Swansea owners etc. It's why I feared American ownership.

And the season before and the season before that, can we not give Saiz a call?

[Cjay]

Knew we'd concede once Raphinha was subbed

Tbf though we have to protect Raph, he is our 1 really special player, he needs protecting.

Why Costa though?

Where was Poveda or Summerville?

[The Subhuman]

Played well in the main I thought..

True i agree mate.

Had/have hoped that Peter Lowy would be a gamechanger.

he is a genuine fan of the club after all.

Would have been nice to win a pre-friendly match but at least the performance was much better apart from the two soft goals we conceded & nearly another right at the death.

Grassroots football mate, making York great again

Where was Poveda or Summerville?

Surely he knows that Costa can do fook all by now?

Should have thrown Summerville on ahead of Roberts or Costa

I'd have loved to see Summerville come on Cjay.

Pecking order still in play

The youngsters must be restless soon. What's the point when those two are 2/3 subs?

[Scoobychief]

we need o stop talking about those youngsters, summerville greenwood etc they arent getting jack s**t in the premier league they will continue to play for the under 23 for the forseeable, its mature real footballers we need at present and about 3 of them. ffs

Yep very strange.

At least the match stream was decent.

Right now a major concern unless.......

And Ajax lost 4-0 to PSV today, while they outplayed us earlier. Madueke is going to be a star player, better than Sancho.

Ever thought of going into politics Leon?
