Stephens playing

 

When you see that, it has not been a good summer.

 

Hoedt not in the squad.... Our midfield options look limited. Foster on the bench.... McCarthy on the way?

[Saint Matty 76]

We really need a good CB and DM. Wouldn't be confident at all with that line-up next week.

Hoedt not in the squad.... Our midfield options look limited too.

 

absolutely. I do hope Ralph hasn’t got a blind spot when it comes to him.

And yes without Romeu the midfield lacks bite

[shurlock]

Stephens over Yoshida.

Hoedt nowhere to be seen.

JWP in a DM role where I think struggles as opposed to further up the pitch where he's done well.

RH sticking with Ings who's looked off the pace for a while.

[Dusic]

Stephens over Yoshida.

Hoedt nowhere to be seen.

Lacking depth big time in central midfield, and quality in defence.

[Cabbage_Face]

God, the reaction to starting sides in friendlies. Nearly as bad as this badge

Is the game being shown anywhere?

 

Someone on twitter said it is on the Koln youtube channel

Ralph out, clearly doesn’t know what he’s doing.

Shurlock and Batman to take over.

 

Turning bedwetting into clean sheets!

Did I say that pal?

Well, on official YouTube channel of FC Köln there was a history of streaming pre season friendlies, with last one being a week ago, but I guess we'll find out shortly if they're going to do it today as well.

Good to be back at SMS I've missed this even if the place is only a third full.

I don't see a stream.

[shurlock]

Pen to us.

[Suhari]

Ings. 1-0

 

Pen.

[iansums]

No stream then

[tunit]

Its on YouTube but you need a VPN to change your location to Germany to access it

 

[johnnyboy]

No stream then

 

It’s doable ! Get Windscribe free vpn , set it to Germany , watch you tube fc koln channel et voila !!

[Wsaint]

Adams looking very strong on the ball.

Another pen - looked a tad soft as Hoj was never getting to the ball but sandwiched by two of their defenders.

 

Horrible pen by Ings - trying to be too cute with the panenka.

Had to download a VPN, but it is working with one

[Saint Matty 76]

Worst pen I've ever seen, what a ****.

[Edmonton Saint]

Shocking penalty

[TWar]

Ings tried to be cheeky with the pen, ended up looking an idiot unfortunately.

[jasoneuelllfanclub]

Embarrassingly bad pen

Did Ings injure himself scuffing the penalty?.

Cheers mate

[shurlock]

We’re missing someone with a bit of time and quality on the ball who can orchestrate play. When we’re not exploiting mistakes and turnovers, our play is quite disjointed.

[Bananaman]

I’m half cut. Where’s Ralph??

[manji]

My observation: Pitch has been narrowed.

[skintsaint]

Had enough, gone home to watch the Ashes.

[shurlock]

If true, it certainly helps our pressing style.

[striker]

Really didn't look good. Definitely missing a lot in midfield, JWP there just doesn't do it. Lemina would be much better, oh well.

[Batman]

top 8 here we come

[benjii]

14th at best with this squad.

[Batman]

have you not heard?

if we stretch our points per game since ralph came in, we are nailed on for top 10

[doddisalegend]

We Started off quite strong but the energy and press just tailed off as the half went on. Adams looks ok the rest of them pretty much picking up where they left off last season

 

Not a fan of hoj/ jwp combo in the middle just seems to lack something in terms of drive and quality on the ball.

 

Defence looks ok hasn't been really tested but still had a few keystone cops moments.

 

Attack started promising but doesn't seem to be quite clicking Redmond not really getting into the game.

 

Ing's penalties are crap.

It’s only a friendly but we don’t look very good ☹️

You're ****ing tedious pal.

‘‘Tis true . Ralph’s instructions.

[shurlock]

They should have equalised just then. We fail to cut the ball out.

[TWar]

Christ if people whine this much about a preseason friendly we are winning, this season is going to be unbearable.

[shurlock]

2-0

 

Obafemi for Ings and already making a difference.

[TWar]

Excellent play from Adams, he seems one hell of a signing.

[Convict Colony]

Thank god for VPN.

 

Some nice touches some boufal and obafemi looks purposeful.
