City v udinese

True Blues having an absolute mare

This is worse than his ‘Man City copied our style and won the league’ moment....

What a shambles

Thank you true blue,
Jesus lads I know you know I don't like puel
But seriously??
Of course it's banter with a vain of truth of my feelings,
Up until 7 years ago when the disabilities took over fully, I had coached youth football for @20yrs
And was studying for my uefa b badge
So I have a little experience and understanding of the game and certainly know all about pre season,
Unfortunately I just can't see what puel is trying to archive and hope he's not relying
On young player's to step up and fill the gaps in team

Haha, I think the Muppets comments were aimed at me not you.

Bit of attempted payback for years back.

What he’s trying to achieve is fitness Dublin. Why is this so hard to understand?!

He’s not going to be trying out new formations for his desired 11 is he? Some of them aren’t available yet and he needs to get everyone fit - which includes the reserve team, in case of any injuries.

I think he introduced 7 changes at one point.

Maybe I’m deluded and got that wrong. But there were 7 men hanging around the touchline at some stage.

Yes down south
A change at 30 minutes water break 3
Half time 7? 2nd water break 2
Even tagget couldn't keep.up and some player's were on the park for 10 before they were spotted 😳
Black star
Obviously not new formations
But as say half these player's are going to be
Reserves,
Who will be expected to slot in and cover
Or challenge for a place
Wouldn't you at least expect a formation to be played, 4321/ 433
At one point it looked like an u7s match ?

It’s a training excercise to re-introduce players to competitive football. I wouldn’t really expect much in terms of a system other than one that allows you to get about 18 of your players into a pitch inside 90 mins.

That means playing Perreira in a completely unsuitable role because Simpson also needs fitness. The point is it doesn’t matter. We won’t learn anything from these games except seeing a couple of the new boys for the first time like Maddison.

None of this represents the side that will start against United - he hasn’t got vardy or Maguire at all for example

If we see the same thing against Man United and lose 6-0 then I’m with you completely and I’ll call for Puels head. Again.

To be honest I expect the United game to be a completely flat game. Both sides won’t be able to field the starting 11 they want and it will likely be a bore draw.

I worry we’ll start the season as we mean to go on. With a laboured 1-0 defeat.

Agree with BS that it will be a flat game. Let’s hope that our new signings come out with energy and purpose to get us off to a better start than I expect.
