Could be 2-2 though. Keeper has had s couple of dodgy moments passing the ball around instead of hoofing it
Jacks certainly not a sweeper keeper on this showing! Redeemed himself with a couple of decent saves. But that’s heart attack defending. Better to get it out the way now though
Are we thinking Walton or Davies will start the season? I’d assumed Davies, though was surprised Walton started tonight’s ‘higher quality’ friendly.
Reckon it will still be Davies, but Walton is certainly going to be pushing him more than he has been pushed previously.
2-1 Robson Kanu. W Brom do seem to be falling over a bit easy and holding their faces, like watching Columbia and it's only a bloody friendly ffs
Id have had no problem starting the season with Walton because Davies deserved dropping like a bad stone. This talk of him trying to dribble about with the ball is a bit worrying though. How does this high pressing style of footy look then, are we trying to play it more often now. And if so, how exactly does it differ from how we used to play ?.
WBA are fielding a strong team. A few of our players are looking superb tonight. I can't see many teams in L1 matching us.
We’ve had some quality movements but also some dodgy defending. Very enjoyable watch. Small criticism for Cavare. He looks a bit static and I would imagine McCarthy will replace him second half
High pressing football for almost the full 45mins. Expecting us to struggle 65mins + but really impressed so far. 4-4-2 formation really is the way to go with players we have. Back 4 solid enough Thiam looks sharp too..really on it on this showing. Bradders n Moore an handfull. Hoping for just a few changes later on. COYR.
