Has sweatgate returned   

Looks like the average temp will be about 30c over the next hour or so. It's mid-summer in Spain, it should be expected

Ha.

Rowe, Bailey and Buendia keep giving up possession. The right side is very poor..

Rowe has the excuse of being a kid who is just getting a foot in senior football, we paid £60m for the other 2.

I moaned about Buendia the other day and he immediately scored so, I don't think I've ever seen a creative player who misplaced so many simple passes.

Every pre-season game. Hopefully he can continue into the main season.

And on my stream we scored as that was posting.

I'm willing to bitch about Buendia more if it's what we need.

Hardly surprising

Rowe
Bailey
Buendia
Bailey
Jimoh-Aloba

Not going to be starting too many games for us.
Very much a 5/10 strength starting line up
Playing one  Bailey  is bad enough but two....shocking

Ollie looks sharp. Could do with more control and possession.
