Hands up anyone who thought we would get anything out of that game when our cb pairing was revealed? So obviously inadequate for the level we are trying to compete in. Yoshida and Vestergaard have to be our go to starting cb’s.
Have to say Austin came out of that with less credit than anyone else except possibly Hoedt. Ings and Gabb both looked far more mobile and likely to make something happen.
As long as this is true then I'll go back to being happy with the deal. Surely it is true otherwise what we have is a permanent deal with an initial down payment.
No doubt the reason was our opponents sat back assured of a win in an ultimately meaningless game but the 20 minutes I watched (the last 20) we were all over them and could/should have scored 3. Not going to comment on the first 70 but it was obviously **** poor given the score and judging by the general thrust of opinion on here. What have we learnt from today though? F'all new in my opinion. We are going to struggle this season and this was clear before today. It's all about whether we struggle a bit less than 3 other teams. I think we will. Just.
