samjp26 Posted July 26, 2013 Author Share Posted July 26, 2013 I don't think Benteke is being aggressive towards KEA, he's just telling him how/where he wants the ball. He gave him the thumbs up and a handshake hug after the first assist, but still kinda told him "yeah that was good but try get it onto my chest." It's pre-season, in my opinion I'd rather they communicate with each other, if KEA can learn to put the ball exactly where Benteke wants it then its more likely he will score. As for Clark's challenge, he basically mis-kicked the ball at a goal scoring opportunity, leading him to getting annoyed and chasing the ball down to do a shin buster on the opponent. No need whatsoever and to be honest I'm sick of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) Can anyone figure out what formation we're playing after 60 minutes? There are only 2 defenders in the team, and I'm assuming Herd will be at the back with them. A return of the dreaded 3-5-2? Obsesssssssssed Huh? There are a few people on these boards absolutely obsessed with the 3-5-2 formation. I was only yanking your chain. Edited July 26, 2013 by dont_do_it_doug.

I don't mind the 352 myself. It was more the fact that we had Vlaar and Baker/Clark out that caused us problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I have to say, I'm liking Luna. Bennett's place on the bench is going to be permanently cemented soon enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
