Back 3/5.

Looks very Championship that. Take it the 3 new lads played in the other game.

[CrosspoolClarets]

Not getting too excited by that team but feels clear to me now that Ekdal starts against Spurs and we may even be going with a back five.

[agreenwood]

Has Tuanzebe’s injury proneness reared its head already?

[FCBurnley]

Sonne ? Why

[Pearcey]

3-5-2? Hannibal behind the striker?

[Tribesmen]

Afternoon all you Clarets , good to be back again well sort of .
So in Rhodes old town in Greece and it's 36c and yes the air con is not working where we live , ohhh the Joy's.
Enjoy the day back at the Turf .

[burnleymik]

oof Looks like Lazio are playing all the majority of their big guns....

[Murger]

Thought we might see a starting 11 close to what will play next week.

[NewClaret]

Back 3/5.

There’s been another game?

[RVclaret]

Thought we might see a starting 11 close to what will play next week.

Few probably still being managed fitness wise. Can’t imagine the three signed this week are fit enough to start this one, but perhaps played behind closed doors. Roberts had a knock, so Sonne starts.

[Barlickclaret]

Sonne ? Why

Because parker picked him. These are still friendlies in preparation for next Saturday.

[Procrastinate B]

Seems an odd line-up, doesn’t it?

[eastcoastclaret]

Well that line up isn't going to pull in many who were still undecided whether to attend.

[longsidetrumpet]

Subs? The other 24 senior players?

[RVclaret]

There’s been another game?

Parker and Burnley Express commented on it yeah. Matt Scrafton reported that Laurent’s red card meant a suspension for the morning match, but could play v Lazio.

[billyhamilton82]

Can only assume there has been another game behind closed doors again.

The other factor is that we don't want to show our cards to Spurs who will still be guessing our formation/team as you can guarantee they will be scouting.

[Pearcey]

Hladky
Walker Ekdal Esteve
Sonne Hartman
Cullen Laurent
Hannibal Anthony
Foster

Had to write it down to get my head around it! COYC

[summitclaret]

Very disappointing squad. Not sure whether to stay in the pub

I understand leaving out the 3 recent signings, but missing Ramsey, Flemming and Tuanzebe through assumed injury is not good at all.

[dvalley69]

Think formation wise that's how we're gonna set up. Doesn't look too bad to me. Sonne seems to better going forward than defending as a traditional RB. Plus, Walker should be able to read it down that side and talk to him when we defend.

100% there's been another game
Otherwise Josh couldn't play this afternoon

[Billyblah]

Sonne ? Why

I'm.not sure that many of us have had the opportunity to see much of Sonne therefore it will be interesting to see how he performs against some fairly testing opposition

[NewClaret]

Parker and Burnley Express commented on it yeah. Matt Scrafton reported that Laurent’s red card meant a suspension for the morning match, but could play v Lazio.

Ah, I see, thanks.

Anyone know the opposition or score?

[boyyanno]

Can't believe people are being critical of the team we're putting out for a friendly!

[daveisaclaret]

No idea if this has been advertised but looks like it is being streamed on Twitter

[ecc]

Can't believe people are being critical of the team we're putting out for a friendly!

Well, it's practice for the season ahead, I suppose. Some posters need friendlies to ahead of a long season.

[ArmchairDetective]

Maybe Sonne has been training well. Maybe there's another game being played at the same time. Either way let's give them a chance before we judge too much.

[eastcoastclaret]

It might have been useful for the new keeper to have played to build up some understanding with the defence.

[Guller Bull]

Sonne ? Why

I think there might have been one or two saying “Egan -Riley why?” about a year ago.

[Greekclaret]

Video being shown of the new kit live on YouTube

[willsclarets]

It doesn't look like Tresor has done anything in preseason to convince Parker he's worthy of a place in the squad.

[dvalley69]

What the hell is Phil Bird on about with the kits... My god, he's totally lost it. He thinks we're in the light blue away kit, but that's Lazio.

He's finally corrected himself.

[Procrastinate B]

I thought I’d imagined it.

Will he ever do "anything"

[HollandsPies]

Watching the match from here, in a very hot Neffiès.
Come on YouTube claretsssssss

[Billyblah]

It doesn't look like Tresor has done anything in preseason to convince Parker he's worthy of a place in the squad.

....or he's still AWOL

[willsclarets]

Will he ever do "anything"

It is sods law that as soon as he moves, he'll suddenly discover the form that got him in the Belgium squad and 24 assists in a single season. For us? Doesn't seem likely

[Jakubclaret]

Will he ever do "anything"

That's not fair we don't know what's going on with the lad & until we do he deserves cuddles & cups of tea.

[HollandsPies]

Anyone know if there's been any bovver in town, pre-match?

[GetIntoEm]

Anyone know if there's been any bovver in town, pre-match?

There was an official welcome organised last minute to avoid that type of thing

[Tricky Trevor]

Baggies winning

[HollandsPies]

We nearly scored there.

[Taffy on the wing]

Has the game started?

[HollandsPies]

Cross came over.
Shot from the six yard box and their defender stuck a leg out.
Was goalbound.

[HollandsPies]

15 minutes in, Taffy.

[HahaYeah]

Most boring match thread of all time.

[CaptainKirk]

Looking ok so far.
Walker is a great addition.

[HollandsPies]

15 minutes in, Taffy.

[Walkerpool]

Hartman looks a real player
