SC Paderborn 9th August

[DanEFC92]

King Power Stadium is an awful name for a stadium

 

[emb]

Worth remembering they've put out 8 pairs of fresh legs for the second half. Not that we haven't been awful positionally at the back.

 

[Tubey]

I've actually said "urgh..." out loud about ten times during this game.

 

[Goat]

It's shocking.

Besides Besic, who has come in really?

Kenwright and co. taking the plaudits - for what? Standing still?

It's ridiculous. They need running out of town.

Oh David, your such a scamp.

Results largely meaningless but coupled with that fact that we've played barely any decent football in all fives games now does officially have me worrying a little, I have to admit. Even up until and after the Celta Vigo game I was confident we could turn it on for this game and for Leicester on the opening day but it just isn't happening still..

I certainly hope this is all part of Roberto's master plan for this coming season, otherwise we could find ourselves in trouble. I can't remember a worse pre season than this is recent memory

 

[when i score we riot]

Bainesy yelling at Alcaraz it's like Alc doesn't know anything even after being involved for 85 frecken minutes.

 

[Azzurri]

McGeady looks injured.

Ffs.

I go out for an hour and I come back to the commentators reminding us that "7-0 wins mean nothing in pre season".

Yes they do. They mean a lot. How many days away is Leicester? You're telling me that we're going to go from losing to winning in 7 days?

Said it about a 1000000000000 times

 

[CrabbyPaddy]

Been a weird pre-season. Feels like we've started late and crammed loads of friendlies in at the end?

Will judge after next week though.

For all you fans affected by your club's pre-season friendly results...they mean nothing, absolutely nothing.

 

[Muzumbu]

It can't be good for the team morale to not have won a game yet, hopefully they will be fired up for next week cos they no they have played terrible so far.

 

[EFCPaul]

People can get too worked up about pre-season games but I disagree that they're glorified fitness exercises and you can't criticise performances.

These games have been a chance or both youth and ageing players to prove their worth for next season. Many have failed their auditions. Hibbert looks finished, Osman has been useless, Barkley and Naismith has been shown to be quite limited depending on where they play, McGeady has made the same mistakes in every game.

Martinez can't be coming out after these matches and seriously believing everything was positive. He needs to be looking at certain players and honestly telling himself "that didn't work" or "he's not good enough".

Bit like when German fans sing "Football's Coming Home" when beating England.


Who said ze germans have no sense of humour, ay?
