‘Professional players think differently. They are really focused on what is happening today and what they have to do for the next game.’
I.e. they’re not w*nking over it in excitement like lower league players who have just drawn a big Premier League club.
As good as Djenepo has looked, he’s also picked up a yellow card within 10 minutes of coming on in both of his appearances. Think it’d be a big risk playing him at LWB from the start.
It was a sh*t game and pretty sh*t day, other than the beers and the company. The trains were all f*cked and got absolutely soaked.
That said, the reaction of some people on here is ridiculous. Get a grip- it’s one game ffs.
It was 21MPH, which, according to this article, would put him up there with the fastest players in the league:

‘The 20-year-old, who has impressed in pre-season with his excellent range of passing and box-to-box energy from central midfield...’
The only game he’s featured in in preseason was the China game, which was essentially the U23s. Hasn’t even been in the squad for any of our actual first team games. Great journalism!
Thought so.
Also, I notice that Vestergaard interpreted the new ‘no offensive players within a metre of the wall’ by standing a metre directly in front of the wall for JWP’s free kick on Sunday. . Not sure that’s what FIFA had in mind.
From the couple of pre-season games I’ve seen, keepers have taken goal kicks literally 2-3 yards to a defender to play out. If anything o think this could make the press more effective when done properly.
