wavydavy Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 (edited) 5 minutes ago, Aich E Eh said: Exactly, we won the last game 7-0. So i'm not sure you can question the intensity. We won because we were playing an irish 2nd division team. Today we're playing an irish premiership team who are currently 3rd. Do Friendlies matter? Yes and no. It really depends what the Coaching Team are looking for in my opinion. If it is purely from a fitness point of view and giving players actual game time then the result doesn't really matter, it's more about the players getting fit. Having said that if the Coaching Team are not sure what their preferred starting line-up is going to be especially in central midfield then it is an ideal opportunity to try out the various combinations available and try and find the right blend.

If the result mattered we would play our strongest 11 and not make any huge changes. But it doesn't. Getting match fit and ready for the new season is all that matters. Risking injury in a meaningless game could scupper any hopes of a good start to the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we lose any League Cup game 2-0 I think it would be p45 time for Craig. I think we will win the group though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your right, though one thing with the league cup group stages is that as teams are starting so early they come into it not running at full speed so it can cause more unsual results such as small teams winning against big teams. So Fridays game is a real potential banana skin, not just as United are a Championship club who are expected to win the league or be at the top, but match sharpness could not be as high.

Personally I think he's a joker that has been going through the motions for the last few years . A third season in a row finishing behind the shite should see him off . I think it will be a massive struggle on Friday with the usual slow, pedestrian football we play. Hi a goal down and the crowd will quickly turn. Nothing seems to have changed from last season.

Bazzas right boot Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 (edited) On a more serious note, what the friendlies may tell us is that our back up guys are quite a bit away from challenging for the first team. Friendlies results are not important in general but fringe players do get a chance they normally might not get and it would seem none have impressed. Folk saying Cochrane or Bozanic is ready to step up and replace Lee or Djoum for example, might be getting a reality check. Djoum and Lee will need an external replacement.

Valois No1 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Whilst I agree it’s a friendly and not to get too upset there is the flip side. We were absolutely honking the second half of the season and so far it looks like the same problems persist. It was obvious to me that our midfield last season was genuinely one of the worst in the league and it is now weaker without Djoum......that is a fact. Already we are struggling to beat fisherman and joiners and for me the midfield problem is there and it’s worse. I predict a honking season but hope I’m wrong.
