What IS that baby looking at?

I like to think it's the Michael Thomas goal from 1989

The video for it is on YouTube...for some reason he's fascinated with the mom blowing her nose.

Makes no real diff to me what comes of it all, at least the standard of opposition is good to excellent.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

I would love it if Everton played Celtic in pre-season actually

We could all sing Grand Old Team together

[steele]

I think so, very crisp and visible. Can't se what's on Rinaldo's

It's a grower.

Nothing we haven't said ourselves since, but he's right, an utterly bizarre tactic.

Lets just hope it was pre-season trials and he wouldn't actually try that tactic against Ronaldo and co with points at stake

So Rodney Marsh watched one game and came to the conclusion that we need to sort our defence out... right, ok.

Apart from the Vienna game, our defence has largely been pretty impressive.

He's right about the high line tactic though isn't he? considering who we were playing against.

We played with a high line all last year and had one of the best defensive records in the league. Is everyone worried about it because it might be a high line and three at the back? As others have said, we won't play Ronaldo every week. We'd be fine playing that way against 90% of the teams we play ... and RM would likely adjust the system under normal circumstances but during one of his first pre-season games maybe he thought it would be best to stay consistent.

I was fairly happy with last night (well ... with our play ... the refs did us no favours).
