We've been pressing pretty well tonight.

McCarthy stepping up to almost a CB position at times, when we're knocking it around the back. Done it a few times. Don't remember that last season.

McCarthy with a classic pass.

Yep. Confused as fuck!

Is the Monaco game being streamed?

To be fair he's a deadly finisher....... at the near post.

Looks a decent side; 3 at the back again. Only 6 subs named? No Stephens, still no Redmond.

I like to think that we softened up RBL. Did all the hard work, meaning they had an easier ride of it. A bit like when my wife loosens the pickled onion jar for me.

Am I Reading this correctly?! 😄🍺

A good thing. We've been lacking size, pace and power for far too long.

Impatient for a striker signing, but expect somethig out of the blue like the Ketchup guy. We badly need improvement up top. Somehow I think we might get Ings back: not saying I want him, and it wouldn't be very 'Saintsy', but I just have a feeling somewhere inside. Or it might be the sardines and eggs I had at lunch.

I too am confident he won't be given a place on the bench instead of Long. 😎

Certainly better this half, but not enough movement or creativity upfront.

Seem to be going for the long diagonal pass to the full backs a fair amount.

Looking better going forwards this half. Djenepo with a shocking miss

Agreed. Not a fan of it.

Edwards seems to have something about him. Quick feet and gets stuck in.

Good opportunity from the press: Diallo hits the bar.

Shoddy Airbnb.

MCCARTHY!!! Goal kick, straight into touch.

Very much this. A big few weeks coming up for striker signings I think. Jus had a flashback to Watson and Shipperley, for some reason.

Hadn't realised Mane cost that much. Is that right? Thought Carrillo was our record signing.....and he was after Mane?

Presumably they want to take a look at all keeper options in a game situation.

Pretty much a standard early pre-season performance. No need to draw any conclusions really. The McCarthy kicking and conceding did make me smile somewhat. Liked what we saw of the new keeper: vocal and commanding; will be surprised if he isn't number one very quickly.

A Armstrong means goals, goals, goals!
