It may be a friendly, but they all look like they've got a stake in this.
I added that earlier. Ahem.

Désolé.

These killer slice open their defence passes are not working lads.

It’s just naturally scrappy now, as always with so many changes.

The atmosphere in Philadelphia is a bit cheesy.
It's a right scrapple on the pitch.

Need some mature heads out there.

It’s a friendly mate. It’s going to be a mix of all sorts. We’ve played really well and made some silly errors at the back. Nothing to worry about

I was just continuing the cheese puns.  Emmental you.

Oh FFS. I Gouda go.

Tielemans was a very good signing.  Did he get many reds at Leicester?

You utter amateurs! You are supposed to do Philly puns not generic cheese puns. They announced it on the PA.

For all the critique of Olsen - and there’s plenty - he is clearly, desperately uncomfortable playing out from the back which is a bit of a problem.

Simply cannot see any way he's with us by the start of the season.

I’d be blown away if he is. A complete liability and the defenders are massively affected by it. They get no confidence from him being back there.
He's just not cut out for playing out from the back. I'd be amazed if the club aren't currently scouring Europe for Emi's new understudy.

The good thing out of all of this is our squad isn’t a lot different to Newcastle in terms of quality. No reason both clubs can’t be top 6
