Pre-season 2023/24

[MalcolmP]

Douglas the pick of the second half performances, I thought.

Revan looked lively.

Mings had a stinker, but only Preseason.

Lovely to see Diaby get a goal and he almost set Cammy away at one point too.

  Mings had a stinker? Are you sure?

[dr.chekov]

Was Tielemans on when the pen was given?

Yes.

[AV84]

Was a hairs breadth of getting a second pen but stayed on his feet and pulled it wide whilst off balance as well.

Yes, was just about to say, he got an ankle tap, same as the penalty, just before he took that shot. Obviously it doesn't look great on paper that your striker missed 2 clear goal opportunities, but I think he looked alright and hope he gets more opportunities in preseason.

I was too lazy to watch the game but thought Cam's movement and pace leading to the penalty was excellent.

[simon ward 50]

Poor penalty though?

[Toronto Villa]

Poor penalty though?

It was in the corner. The keeper made a good save. It wasn’t a great penalty but it wasn’t a poor one.

[Risso]

I think a few nerves maybe crept in. He seemed to hurry it and was trying not to miss the target rather than just thundertwatting it.

I thought we looked far more comfortable at the back with Mings and Konsa on than Carlos and Torres. It's hard to judge the team due to the conditions, new players adapting and fitness levels, especially first half and Fulham did a job on us, very compact, reducing the space and kicking us at every opportunity. Two yellow cards in the first half says it all.

[AV84]

I know it depends on who is on the pitch but would Archer be the penalty taker? Others have pointed out Tielemans was there and could have taken it. There didn't look like there was much discussion around it, I think McGinn just handed him the ball, but it's a pre season friendly. Maybe someone else will he appointed for the season, even over Watkins.

Not overly surprising because those two have played together for a couple of years now so have a better chemistry. Also the new pair (and I include Diego in that) had Olsen behind them. Not that Olsen did anything wrong last night but it’s night and day from the comfort of having one of the top keepers in the world directing traffic.

[Risso]

As an (unimportant) aside, why wasn't Emi wearing the new keeper top last night, and what was the lime green effort he was wearing?

Not sure but he didn't give it to the Fulham player who was asking for it at the end of the game.

[usav]

Was Tielemans on when the pen was given?

No.  Barry was still on at that point.

Clashed with the Ref?

Maybe the away kit one? What top did Olsen wear as he isn't present in the highlights as nothing happened our end first half?

There's 3 keepers kits visible in the changing room pics, all the same colour.
