Also, you’re mad if you don’t think Weghorst is starting week 1.

His link up play is class

I find it odd how people can't see what he's about. He's very obviously a good player.

I think Wout is shite but his workrate and the ground he covers is and always has been great.

It’s already evident after 20 odd minutes that he unsurprisingly suits Kompany’s style far, far more. Will he be a goal threat though? Probably not - but, he’s showing he can contribute here, for sure.

Think we could be playing with 4 centre halves this season.

Some great footwork by a pressing Benicia.

As you'd expect from most European sides. English PL clubs are catching up quickly on the technical side of the game though as the number of English winners on European competition show

Looks like Al Dahkil playing RB. O’Shea more central

Yeah Al-Dakhil looking good there too.

A good thing about the away shirt is that it must help our players to spot their teammates in their periphery vision when making ultra quick decisions. It stands out really well.

I'm still holding out hope. Not written him off completely, but he looks so average (at best) at PL level.

Muric staking his claim here. Entertaining this for a friendly.

He'd be brilliant at whack'a'mole

Inchy · Post by **Inchy** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:59 pm

This is very high paced for a friendly.

It’s only 25 mins in and probably one of the most entertaining friendlies I’ve ever seen

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 9:00 pm

If Trafford starts we will have an absolute bargain at 14 million (plus adds ons) because Muric isn't for losing his place - sensational

I know it's only a friendly, but I'm really enjoying this. It's brilliant.

Do you think VW fancies Al Dakil in midfield?

Weghorst a bit short at present.

TheOriginalLongsider · Post by **TheOriginalLongsider** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 9:01 pm

Might be the best save we see all season

Spiral · Post by **Spiral** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 9:01 pm

How many positions is Al-Dakhil actually playing here? Calling it now: he's gonna win our POTY.

Same at Man Utd, he worked hard but didn't look good enough. No surprise he never managed to score a league goal for them.

Paying 14m to make Muric undroppable is worth it.
