CAN WE GET A REFUND

Trafford's looked v nervy throughout. All over the gaff there.

I think it hit the post then bounced in off the back of his head

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 7:47 pm

Glad Trafford got caught out like that in a friendly & not a league game.

What a goal was Trafford not watching the ball.

Granny WeatherWax · Post by **Granny WeatherWax** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 7:47 pm

Looks like Trafford is going out on loan.

De Gea did worse than that last season. Give the lad a chance

Colburn_Claret · Post by **Colburn_Claret** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 7:47 pm

Shocking, but funny with all those arguing he has to start.

FK in Twine territory.

Kyle Lafferty was sent off in a friendly in Austria in 2007 and started the season with a three match ban. The rules might have changed since.

blimey, hope so

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 7:48 pm

Twine special?

tally · Post by **tally** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 7:48 pm

Goals like that do happen and Trafford will remember this one for a long long long time.

CoolClaret · Post by **CoolClaret** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 7:48 pm

I think Trafford is really feeling the pressure with the fee and hype from his performances in the U-21 Euros.

He seemed very nervy in his first interview, if honest.

That’s a shocker - I’m confident he will be a good ‘un in time but right now he’s nowhere near ready to start in the PL, IMO.

It just looked like slow motion and Trafford just got it badly wrong!

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 7:48 pm

Not worth £19 let alone the M after it!

That was appalling.

Woould Artur have fallen for that?

Some absolute head-the-balls on here. Glad I actually go to games rather than read you lot prattle on.

Granny WeatherWax · Post by **Granny WeatherWax** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 7:49 pm

Hope VK kept the receipt etc

Walkerpool · Post by **Walkerpool** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 7:49 pm

He's probably going to be a fantastic keeper in the future but I would rather have Muric and BPF and Nathan Tella

simonclaret · Post by **simonclaret** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 7:50 pm

Taylor always looks so assured

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 7:50 pm

to be fair to Trafford it's a cracking header

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 7:50 pm

Good run by Ekdal Twine FK comes to nothing

Am still trying to get over Traffords error

Whatever way you look at it it’s shocking,as was genks first goal.
No need to panic tho.

Spiral · Post by **Spiral** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 7:51 pm

Good to get clangers out your system nice and early, better still when there's nothing on the line. That said, can't believe we paid what we paid for him and he's gonna start behind Muric. Hope this isn't another Gibson situation.

simonclaret · Post by **simonclaret** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 7:51 pm

Good finish Foster but offside

Foster buries one but correctly given offside.

simonclaret · Post by **simonclaret** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 7:52 pm

Yellow for Foster

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 7:52 pm

Foster scores but ruled offside

daveisaclaret · Post by **daveisaclaret** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 7:52 pm

Every chance the right back plays him onside there in a VAR world. Great finish

Stalbansclaret · Post by **Stalbansclaret** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 7:52 pm

Fantastic finish from Foster but just offside . Taylor and Twine been decent since coming on . Want to see Koleosho get on the ball.

Swizzlestick · Post by **Swizzlestick** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 7:53 pm

Ref giving it the full Mike Dean for some reason.

There are posts confirming that JBG was very naughty,
and I totally agree about keeping the game 11 vs 11, unless the rules on friendlies don't allow it.

Withut excusing or justifying it I can understand JBG's reaction.

Doesn't make it right but consider from his perspective- 32 year old player who after several injury riddled seasons has finally had a healthy season again, back in the PL for probably his last season at that level, and suddenly some dickhead scythes in with two feet scissoring, from behind, a couple minutes before halftime in the midfield in a bloody friendly. You'd almost certainly think "He tried to do me for no reason there".
Doesn't make it acceptable, but forgivable yes.

Not going to pile in on Trafford, but I think we want to start with Muric.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 7:53 pm

Why was Foster booked?

bf2k · Post by **bf2k** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 7:53 pm

Ref is a clown

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 7:53 pm

I’m surprised more teams don’t try. Muric plays well off his line also. It’s the sweeper keeper nightmare.

Good strike, he wasn't to know he was offside.

Don't recall ever seeing so many cards in a friendly

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Fri Jul 28, 2023 7:55 pm

Twine continuing where he left off after the Benfica game, doing well
