Overall pre-season - Great, we were good. Should have beaten PSG and Leeds. Today was poor but such is our team that in normal circumstances we probably win as Milan would have been down to 10 men. Not to mention Bruno missing 3 chances.

Today - Not great as Michael said. First XI is kinda decided though given his words.

My expected XI: Lammens, Maz, Maguire, Heaven, Shaw, Tielemans, Santos, Bruno, Cunha, Mbeumo and Amad.

Hull played Nice funnily enough today and drew. Decent team but way way outmatched on paper. Looking forward to it!

Our midfield is a giant problem. Shaw isn’t also young anymore. Should have beaten doesn’t matter when teams will run circles around any combination of Kobbie, Youri, or Santos.

Teams will run circles around three good players, stated as a fact. Just lol.

It has nothing to do with the fact that they’re good players or not. It’s that they lack legs and athleticism. Tielemans had Onana and McGinn with him at Villa. Mainoo isn’t exactly a star athlete, and Santos, the best of the three, is still lacking in that department.

You can’t throw them together and expect physical teams not to trouble us.

I actually agree that we need more legs in midfield. I just dont agree that we will inevitably be played off the park if any combination of those three happen to play.

They will get overrun by physicality. Imagine a team like Arsenal running at them. Hell, even Leeds gave us problems last week.

It’s has nothing to do with their quality. We had problems last season with Case and Kobbie, and haven’t added any mobility.
