It wasn't that bad.. we'll bring in 2-3 more players this window and we'll have a brilliant squad.

we didn't have howard, coleman, gibson, oviedo, garbutt, kone, lukaku or our two attacking players that we'll sign. people need to relax, our squad depth and quality is more than fine.

it's also pre-season, the key word is pre, ha. no idea what half on here are moaning about.
 
Good run out that. There will be a few stiff leg muscles tonight. Can't really make any snap judgements regarding player performances due to rustiness except to say Osman and Piennar will probably be used off the bench more often than not this season. It's early days but I would put Besic ahead of Barry in the picking order. I expected more from McGeady but that again could just be down to lack of match fitness. We certainly need another striker and winger, 100%.

Exactly. Didn't Real Madrid lose all 3 of their games at that ICC tournament in the US? It much be because of an ageing squad and lack of quality. lol
 
The result doesn't matter, the fact that we could barely string 3 passes together or get close to them does.

What this game highlighted was a real lack of depth in our squad.

Osman, Pienaar, Barry, Hibbert, Alcharaz and maybe even Baines and Jags look finished. McGeady is playing with no confidence and Naismith just isn't good enough.

The only positive is that Besic looks quality, I guatantee he starts instead of Barry, Ross looked sharp and let's be honest Mirallas and Rom will make a big difference.

Our first team is fine if we get Atsu but our squad is really poor. A lot of aging players.

Wow. That's summarising for a pre-season game there.
