VillaCas Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Hourihane doing ok but we need a bit more steel at DM. We look very lightweight Jota good on the ball and again ok but feel we need more threat - Maupay would do it for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 1 minute ago, Enda said: New prediction: Hourihane will divide the fans this season. He’ll get goals and assists, which half of us will point to, but then the other half will be driven demented by the other half of his game. the problem with Hourihane, i dont think anyone challenges that he gets the odd assist and goal, its that he doesnt suit the DM role at all, if he is going to get game time it needs to be in a position that suits him, like the advanced role(s), in the DM role hes a liability.

Yes that’s where their upper hand is coming from, they are very very good at it. We will probably only play a handful of sides who will do it that well though, thankfully !

thunderball Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 You would hope Luiz will allow more movement up top. We are very slow and one dimensional, nor urgency or turn of pace. Seen little intelligence or guile which we had lots of previously (albeit it inferior opponents). Trezeguet will surely be on next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 These are really, really good. If we can hang with them, which we have done so far, Brighton stand no chance. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 German equivalent of spurs or arsenal and we are comfortably holding our own. Good half. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 1-1 against a top 5 german side. Can't complain too much about that. Targett been poor though which is worrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Missed the first 15 odd mins but they looked the better team for sure. I think in a ‘real match’ Mings might have made more effort to try and keep their goal out potentially. Hourihane doing what Hourihane does.

VillaAlex Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Really good friendly, excellent choice of opposition who are giving us a really good game. Shouldn't read too much into performances but fullbacks are suffering a bit as they are overloading on the wings, which is something we need to get used to in the top flight a lot more. Fullbacks are always heavily isolated and exposed which is why they often becomes scape goats. Mings is having a really good game though, and the likes of Hourihane, Jota and Wesley have been solid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're holding our own and yes it hasn't been comfortable, but it's promising for the upcoming season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mjmooney Posted August 3, 2019 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted August 3, 2019 In my computer programming days we had a saying - a test that doesn't find any errors is a failed test. Preseason is like that. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponky Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Passing is a little off. Just not quite gelling under pressure. Mings looks good but they're passing through our midfield like it's not there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
