So the circus rolls back into town, with our first Pre-Season friendly of the 25/26 campaign.

Ol' Cock Piss Potter finally given a "full preseason" to turn his crab football into a thing of beauty that we can all behold. The commitment to the 'Wing Back System' shaping the squad in a way that anyone to follow him will likely need to rip up and start again.

Anyway....with 29 players out in Germany, it's likely to be a substitute-laden shitfest, with shoddy camera work and uninterested commentary from the media guy on the official site.

But also a chance to see Diouf, Potts, Orford, Marshall, Cornet, Fullkrug, Aguerd, and maybe build an understanding of what is to come.

So strap in, remember it's a "fitness exercise" and we can all have a row about what it all means when they turn us over 3-1 and we're told they're "3 weeks ahead of us in their Pre-Season preparations".

Live Match Video:

Diouf & Marshal looking promising.

Diouf looks lively. 

Wasn’t terrible first half. Looked like playing with a bit more tempo and intent. Bowen looks ready to start the season tomorrow. Lots down the right but not really able to get Cornet or Fullkrug into the game. Only two CBs 

JWP more positive in play than last season and far less sideways stuff. We didn’t absolutely melt when they pressed even though it wasn’t a crazy press. 

Guido looked like he wanted too much time. We really do need more in the middle of the park. 

Good to see Paqueta and Magic Diouf and a few of the youngsters here.

Have you tried changing resolution in the settings? It wasn't at highest in the default setting for some reason.

Guess it's free though so not complaining.

Irving lol
Still puzzled how he was dropped after Chelsea.
Not a world beater but decent and better than some of the others

1-0 Irving. Great little bit of play from Bowen.

This camera angle isn’t the best 

Looks like they're playing in swiss vicky park

Don't mind keeping Irving as he has something about him but we need to get Cornet, Ridriguez and JWP off the books asap.
Hoping they are only starting today to be in the shop window.
