Was the same all of last season! So frustrating!

True, although I think Vestergaard is left footed? Guess we’d want him in the middle of the 3 though.

Agreed. Maybe he’ll go with Yoshida, Vestergaard and Bednarek. With Cedric and Bertrand wing backs.

Agree that fitness is the most important thing. That said, if we play like that in the next 2/3 I think it’ll be cause to be worried. Hopefully just a chance to try some different things out.

Results might not matter in pre-season but performances do and this has been awful from start to finish. I’m not convinced we have the players to fit the formation.

Terrible defending all round.

Made a couple but has been terrible with his feet! Has nearly been chased down on several occasions and kicked it out of play a few times. Obviously I’m not actually advocating he is dropped now but has looked shaky!

We had looked awful. Think Gunn might have the number one jersey sooner than expected if McCarthy keeps playing like this.

Hoedt giving the ball away in dangerous areas multiple times.

High press...

Video or just updates?

Mine came this afternoon

The one where he calls Clasie a b!tch and says he’s p!ssing him off?

That’s what I’m thinking, and also possibly how we can sell it to him- give us a great season and we’ll let you go. Think that’s pretty much what we did with Wanyama, Schneiderlin and Mane?

Agreed. Don’t think there is enough creativity or enough goals in that squad at the moment.

Presumably it’ll be done in the order people bought them? I.e if you ordered early you’re more likely to get your shirt.

Decent- cheers!

Still not enough goals in the squad, particularly with Tadic gone and no guarantee the new boys will contribute as many from midfield.

That’s the £19million for the Argie top of the list.

Linked to Davis and Green from Villa. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-5812993/Aston-Villa-six-academy-graduates-squad-season.html

This. Will miss his waving.

It is if you replace him and stay up. It’s not if you sell him amongst others, get no other quality in and get relegated, which is what o can see happening.

No way we should be selling Tadic. Especially not for under about £25million.
