Much better tempo in the last few minutes after a lethargic first 30.

Voronin in pre season was the second coming of Johan Cruyff for fucks sakes.

Ooooof, bit of a collision that,

Like seeing Tsimikas playing so confidently.

JackWard33 · « **Reply #643 on:** July 23, 2021, 06:02:07 pm »

Keita's just so good

B0151? · « **Reply #644 on:** July 23, 2021, 06:02:17 pm »

Keita will be like a new signing, no Gini replacement needed (let's see how many transfer forum nerds I can catch with this)

Gods_Left_Boot · « **Reply #645 on:** July 23, 2021, 06:03:01 pm »

Tsimikas not shy throwing himself into those challenges, it's at least the second one in this half.

Ox has just given the ball away most of the times that he’s had it and missed a chance. Pity

xbugawugax · « **Reply #647 on:** July 23, 2021, 06:03:12 pm »

keita looking lively but pretty sure gets nothing from epl refs..guess it be a freekick for the opposition for both nutmegs

You are saying there is zero point getting excited about anyone's form in preseason, ever?

it's pre season, all games are for fitness and game management.

Nice footwork from Naby there again,he's been sharp.

It’s a bit different for him as the other day apparently he was gonna take firmino’s role.

Keita, I'm ready to be hurt again!

Funky_Gibbons · « **Reply #653 on:** July 23, 2021, 06:06:07 pm »

Lots of positives there, only negative was AOC, looks lost in that role.

reddebs · « **Reply #654 on:** July 23, 2021, 06:06:10 pm »

It's good being able to watch some of these play that barely featured last season. You forget what they can do or in tsimikas case never known what they can do.

acks · « **Reply #655 on:** July 23, 2021, 06:06:23 pm »

Please just stay fit Naby lad!

therein lies the frustration.

Keita played really well.

Elliott looked promising in the midfield three again as well.

RedSince86 · « **Reply #660 on:** July 23, 2021, 06:07:04 pm »

Keita was pretty good that half.

Gods_Left_Boot · « **Reply #661 on:** July 23, 2021, 06:07:16 pm »

Good end to the half. Keita really lively and looking to create. Elliott and Ox seemed to struggle a bit to find their position and influence the game.

Thought Elliott was fantastic that half. His decision making in high pressure moments is brilliant.

Dave McCoy · « **Reply #667 on:** July 23, 2021, 06:09:35 pm »

Needed another attacker out there. All in all a good 45 though. Not sure what to expect out of these next 45.

Didn't watch the whole half but from the little I watched, seems to have a nice habit of occupying spaces between the lines. Him, Salah, and Trent on one side combining could be quite tasty.

HeartAndSoul · « **Reply #669 on:** July 23, 2021, 06:13:17 pm »

A fully fit keita is one of the best in the league. Not many midfielders like him out there. Hopefully this year will be different

Why no Mateusz Musialowski in pre-season? I tought he was going to pre-season with first team, not U23 team.

He is with the first-team, just hasn't been involved in either friendly so far.

thekitkatshuffler · « **Reply #674 on:** July 23, 2021, 06:17:18 pm »

Michael Edwards for man of the match that half?

Very efficiently moving Harry Wilson out of the club.

Perhaps if he plays 2 games a month he might stay fit

Deja Vu in here in regard to Keita.

He just needs run of games etc.
