Ten Hags pre seasons

Maybe we could get Amrabat(tersCity) back just for the Community Shield?

And by the sounds of it, we outplayed Liverpool for most of the match. Doesn’t bode well for Liverpool if Slot gets outplayed by a team with no game plan.

A pre season tour to USA / Far East in a year where there is Euros / World Cup / Copa America is not worth it at all. Most of the players aren't even going to be regular starters for us so what's the bleeding point? We are even playing players who are supposedly very close to securing a move away.

Next summer I can see the sense in a tour as there's no international football but I hope the summer after we have a serious rethink but it won't happen.

For those who are still unaware of the fact, from a sporting perspective, preseason friendlies are 99% about fitness.

Yes thet are.. but when you start playing treining games against your closest rivals in the full media spotlight in the USA for example despite who plays in the starting lineone these games will naturally take on more meaning. As will the Charity Shield

We were pretty good for the vast majority of the first half yesterday (I went sleep at half time so will catch up on the second half later today).

One noticeable difference is our pressing is much, much better and we’re falling into a 4-4-2 out of possession like a lot of high pressing teams do. We’ve been noticeably harder to play out through high up the pitch.

You can definitely see some tweaks to the way we’re setting up out of possession/pressing coordination and we’ve actually made some good chances across all games in preseason.

We need another CB and a CM in quick. If Casemiro is starting games regularly we can forget about this season.

watched a video of RVN talking about how he was setting PSV up while he was manager there and he had his AM Guus Till pushing right up alongside his CF to press the back 2 of opponents. Mount was doing this last night.

you only gave up 9 shots so it seems like he's already made you twice the team you were last season

I mentioned last night on another thread that there was a really strange hedge in the stadium that went around the perimeter of the pitch in front of the fans.

If we find ourselves in a tight spot in FFP terms, maybe we could raid the club museum for that white picket fence we had at OT in the 70's and sell it to the americans to compliment their hedge.

If Chelsea can sell hotels...

What has his age got to do with it.

What are you basing your comment on him cementing his place on?

posted on 4/8/24

Just for some perspective on this.

Collier, even though he is 20 has never played a first class football league match in his life yet.

posted on 4/8/24

Sorry. Collyer.

Don’t read too much into preseason, they’ve shown time and time again that results and performances dont really correlate to how teams perform when the season starts.

I think the tour has set us up nicely to make a genuine push for relegation this season

I believe so. Obviously there’s a few prem clubs that have had someone from the dynasty with Darius Vassell and Cyrus Christie.

ETHs comments about him. Things I've read about him.
They all have to have a first hame.
Incidentally I wasn't implying he would cement his place from hame onbut over the season.

None of this suggests he is going to cement his place. He may make the squad. Good chance of that.

Missing chances doesn’t mean we didn’t have a game plan, sounds like Robb hasn’t watched the game or even extended highlights. You can clearly tell we have been working on pressing differently and build up phases.
