Not really sure how we are losing this 2-0.

They have the measure of us. We look very edgy

Great finish.

Not sure Pau Torres at LB is going to work in premier league v pacy players, far too square and easily beaten.

Get Digne on at half time as we haven't looked too bad otherwise.

A goal like that is wasted on a pre-season game

Good finish, another goal entirely against the run of play mind.

The last time I saw the ball go through the net was at the Sty in 1987.

We’re too slow moving the ball today. We had a similar situation to their second goal but, instead of shooting, we keep playing the ball backwards or sideways.

That was a brilliant finish, but also evidence Pau is not a left-back. He stood him up and with the drop of a shoulder bought himself five yards for the shot.  He'll get murdered in the premier league defending like that.

Is Emery there, all I've seen is that ex member of the Scorpians in my TV every 5 fucking minutes.

Not sure really why we're experimenting with a lop-sided three at the back. I know that Emery likes the unbalanced set up, but this seems a step too far.
