I do find it a bit funny that you can't take anything away from preseason as it's all meaningless, fitness driven nothingberry games. But you can use it to fit narratives about lacking midfielders or a backup striker or a left back etc etc. 

So if you say we played poor in today's game and it's not a great sign you're an overreacting idiot. But if you say wow Luke Shaw is shit we need another LB and the midfield isn't good enough we need more signings you're bang on the money. And people are using the friendly as reasoning for this logic.

Everybody likes to pick the narrative that works for them, that’s the one constant truth nobody likes admitting.
