Batman Posted 8 July, 2015 Share Posted 8 July, 2015 although the result matters little. we were terrible defensively in the 2nd half. just terrible. outside of that Soares, Juanmi both look like good players. hard to judge but they both played well when on the pitch.

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 8 July, 2015 Share Posted 8 July, 2015 Hard to really to take too much from that game, but for what it is worth: 1. Great to see Jay Rod back 2.

Sour Mash Posted 8 July, 2015 Share Posted 8 July, 2015 To be fair, jrod has been pretty anonymous - two well-taken goals though. That's what I thought, he hardly touched the ball. Good for him to get the run out though. And to be fair we hardly got on the ball and created much in the 2nd half, midfield were overrun. Thought Juanmi and Soares both looked good, positive there.

stevegrant Posted 8 July, 2015 Share Posted 8 July, 2015 Gloriously mental second half, mainly thanks to us not being able to defend. Presumably we'll see more of the senior defenders on Saturday in Salzburg. Some obvious positives, Juanmi, Rodriguez and Soares. With all these diminutive midfielders we've got, we need to go into every game with a bit of steel, really, as we got bullied at times there. There was also a noticeable difference in terms of the confidence to play a passing game in those conditions, RBL showed no difference in attitude than you would expect from them in good conditions, whereas we didn't look confident taking a touch in tight areas, instead resorting to going a bit too long.

Interesting point re the size of the midfielders, especially as we may replace Morgan with Clasie who is also tiny. With powderpuff JWP and Davis who is relatively lightweight it does make me wonder if Clasie might be a great player but maybe not at this moment for us and perhaps we need more of a physical presence to replace Morgan?

buctootim Posted 8 July, 2015 Share Posted 8 July, 2015 Aside from defenders, so many of the Academy lads are tiny. I guess thats one of the downsides of taking them from aged 8 - little idea of physical size at 18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suewhistle Posted 8 July, 2015 Share Posted 8 July, 2015 A useful exercise and learning experience, and a difficult first game against a team 2 weeks ahead of us in their preparation: we normally start off with pretty minor teams as our warm up games. The midfield did look lightweight in a physical sense although McQueen looks solid enough. Good to see J-Rod scoring, particularly the movement for the second. Defensively the lack of experience showed, and nobody really took control. Plenty of material for the video analysts.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
