Very disappointed with that line up. No KWP. No Vesty. No Redmond. No Adams. No Tella. A full week to prepare for our first game. This should be a dress rehearsal.  

We never win the first game and we never win at Everton so it's like a free hit, so don't worry🤣🤣

Any idea why? Apart from the names not got a clue what he’s saying

I had to check the team sheet again to see if he had been sneaky on trial / loan player, But I have no idea

Funny watching the commentary in Spanish. It sounds like he’s mentioned Nico Williams about 6 times which is odd 

One of their players is called Nico Williams too. They are talking about him I think.

Ah cheers! Can’t be many Spanish players with surname Williams 

Unlikely!! And you realise the Liverpool one is Neco?!! No difference though in Spanish  scouse or welsh accents I expect🤣🤣

McCarthy losing his head again. Flapping like a mad man.

This. Such a shame we have so little cash. Having 2 GKs who are not that good can really ruin games where we play well enough to win/draw and they don’t make the routine saves (or make glaring errors).

I think we've looked ok in possession through the middle, and the back 4 have been fairly composed.

But the attack is just horrific, as predicted as it would be. There's just nothing there, midfielders haven't got anyone to play in, they're static up top. Moussa is just not even doing anything.

WTF McCarthy. 
it would be funny if it wasn’t so worrying that we probably have another season of inept goalkeeping no matter which one is between the sticks. 
excited at the prospect of clown  Ralph rotating two shite keepers.

This is concerning. I don’t see the logic in playing this last warm up game with Long and Obafemi up top. It would have been nice to have a bit of momentum going into the Everton game. Perhaps the extra rest for Telly and Adams will help. Who knows?

Perhaps the most damning indictment of our academy - and especially the goalkeeper coaches - is the fact that we've been unable to develop a youngster to challenge Forster and McCarthy. This is basic position-specific coaching, not rocket science.

best to ensure our better options dont get injured

Maybe a stupid point but recruitment-wise winning 4 on the bounce without much issue may not have been the best thing.

Maybe not, had had results  been poorer it probably would have increased the urgency to strengthen, given the strategy seems to be just do enough not to get relegated

Late to the party... Do we know why Walcott hasn't been in the starting line-up for either of the two St. Mary's friendlies?

Not been anything said to be honest, but we all know his recent injury record so I wouldn't be surprised if he's out.
