What do pre-season results really tell us?

[BigMick]

They tell me that it's going to take more than a few months to sort out the fine mess left by these three clowns.

 

[Papa Shango]

Pre season isn't really about results or even performance as such but with a new manager and players who should be trying to impress you would expect to see "something" different.

The worry for me is that they look exactly the same as they did last season, not making many chances, poor possession and getting absolutely decimated by any team who runs at us.

Tell us the squad isn’t good enough for the new season

 

[Martin Alvito]

It tells us that our squad is so thin that we'd better bring in reinforcements and be healthy for at least half the season.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Reinforces precisely where we need to improve.

 

[chippy1722]

It tells us that nothing has changed, new manager hasn’t changed anything, I thought he was meant to be trying a new system.
If he has a philosophy then the club need to give him the players to do so.

With the set of players he inherited he will struggle to get much more than Allardyce did.

possibly the most miserable pre-season we've ever had, in terms of results, especially considering the mostly meagre opposition. At least some bright moments from our recent signings in the 1st-half vs Valencia, plus we (hopefully) will get Pickford back in goal for the proper games.
