Pre-Season Games - Portugal

[PremAddict]

What's the line-up? Can't make out faces with the blurry feed.

McCarthy
Gunter
Mariappa
Morrison
Bridge
Obita
McCleary
Guthrie
Williams
Blackhole ( )
Pogrebnyak.

Thanks Ian. Wasn't expecting Obita to start but he had some quality.

Thought we played quite nicely for most of that first half, just a bit too much dicking around from McCarthy but if you're gonna make those errors might as well make them in friendlies.

Thoughts:

-McCarthy's having a shocker
-Bridge's still got it
-Williams is quick and technically proficient.
-Obita is skills
-Pog cba

Give em £1.5m for Fredy and get the next flight home!

Morrison meats Obita's free-kick

classic

Lolz, noticed that but didn't even register, so used to seeing it.

That will cheer sandman up

Still 50,000 mistakes behind Federici.

Tut tut tut excuses excuses.

No Feds on the bench.

He might have dropped his transfer request on the way to the ground.

Agreed with this. Morrison not having his best game either, and Blackman may as well not be playing. Guthrie has put a shift in.

At least I don't celebrate when one of our players makes a mistake.

I wouldn't defend him right now if I were you, he's looking very casual.

Two games in and Taylor's getting the most minutes by the end of this match. WHAT CAN IT MEAN!?!?

+1 to winch,

Not liking our shape at all - seem to be all around the edge of centre midfield rather than being in it. No idea what position Blackman was playing, mind.

[Royal Ginger]

'Estastica Geral' say we're right in it.

That's what I was intimating earlier, but probably more simply expressed by you.

"Steve Tervet ‏@stevetervet 16m
Reading have changed their entire XI and they now have a David Luiz lookalike playing in central midfield. His name is Aaron Kuhl."

Really? You seem to love it when Federici concedes. In fact I seem to remember after one game last season you very gleefully welcomed it with an fao thread aimed at myself.

And as if by magic

Not a completely new XI this time then. Any subs at all?

Other than ALF

[PremAddict]

Any changes a the half?

ALF and Cummings so far for Pog and Bridge. That I've spotted.

[Unbelievable Jeff]

Alf For Pog
Cummings for Bridge...
