Pre-season 14/15

DubPerryman · 16-07-2014 2:43pm #1

US tour starts on Saturday...

19/07 - Seattle Sounders

24/07 - Toronto

27/07 - Chicago Fire

Poch has had most the team for the best part of two weeks now. It'll be good to see a high-tempo game being played, hopefully attacking too.

ESPN has the match and I'm sure they'll be showing it over here, like previous years.

With the World Cup, it feels like a very short Summer footballing-wise.

Anyone hoping to see anything specific from the upcoming friendlies?

Sugarlumps · 16-07-2014 2:50pm

Wouldn't be expecting much in preseason, I'd imagine it'll be particularly hot too. Soldado & Lamela to gain some confidence. Some kind of structure at the back? Not expecting miracles.

DubPerryman · 16-07-2014 2:58pm

Yeah, I'd like to see Lamela looking comfortable in the team. I know he only played a handful of games last season, but he always seemed a bit awkward or a bit out of place. I'd like to see him settled.

It'll be interesting to see which young players Poch uses most - will he promote Veljkovic and Pritchard to full-time first teamers? Will Falque, Ceballos and McEvoy be played much?

DubPerryman · 17-07-2014 12:42pm

The match on Saturday is being televised on BT Sport 1.

Same here, Lamella is the one I want to see step up to the mark..

Kane up front on his own?

God help us if that's a sign of things to come.

Edit. I'm sure it's not. It's only preseason

Hammar · 19-07-2014 8:22pm

Beautiful goal,well worked,Great play from Carroll,great ball from ????? and lovely header by Holtby.

davycc · 19-07-2014 8:25pm

Hammar · 19-07-2014 8:29pm

Seattle have had a few good chances.

same ol sh1te · 19-07-2014 8:39pm

Defence is shocking but seeing some nice link up play going forward. Proper feckin triangles folks, not the dull crap we saw with Tim

Hammar · 19-07-2014 8:44pm

Penalty Seattle,FFS Dawson

davycc · 19-07-2014 8:44pm

Great strike by Seattle for their second goal ,it has to be said

davycc · 19-07-2014 9:25pm

goooooooooooooooldado boom

davycc · 19-07-2014 9:28pm

great run and cross by lamela there left 2 of their lads for dead

Hammar · 19-07-2014 9:38pm

Second half has been far better.

davycc · 19-07-2014 9:53pm

well deserved peno and well taken peno kick by falque- we need him in our squad this season he will tear up the europa lg

Ceballos done well to win the ball back for that goal. Fredericks has also been good going forward. The defence is still a clusterf**k though.

tippspur · 19-07-2014 10:04pm

A good entertaining game it has to be said.

same ol sh1te · 19-07-2014 10:12pm

It just occurred to me watching that, we have some very talented Spanish (and Spanish speaking) players and a manager who's first language is Spanish \o/
Falque, Ceballos, Soldado, Lamella

LostArt · 20-07-2014 8:58am

Generally I don't read anything into pre season games since the Ramos pre season, but it was great to see us try to move the ball forward quickly

Sugarlumps · 21-07-2014 6:37am

Caught the game yesterday, I know it's only a kick about but Naughton and Dawson were pathetic. Ceballos looked very lively. Is Walker still out injured?

Devo from Dublin · 21-07-2014 8:19am

Christy and Kyle will start on Wednesday..
Defoe will tear Dawson a new one too!

DubPerryman · 21-07-2014 10:55am

BT Sport is showing a repeat of the Toronto match at 7.30pm on Thursday night. The live match is on at midnight, 19 and a half hours earlier.

same ol sh1te · 23-07-2014 10:03pm

Davies starts. No Dawson for Defoe to make a fool of

#THFC team v @torontofc: Friedel, Naughton, Kaboul, Veljkovic, Davies, Capoue, Mason, Lamela, Lennon, Eriksen, Soldado. #THFCTOUR #COYS

2nd Row Donkey · 23-07-2014 10:23pm

Capoue and Mason in centre MF it looks like.
What type of a player is Mason .

davycc · 23-07-2014 11:02pm

any half decent streams lads?

same ol sh1te · 23-07-2014 11:11pm

Lamela playing no 10, gonna watch a few mins of it

same ol sh1te · 23-07-2014 11:24pm

Gonna head off to bed but I like what i've seen in first 12 mins. Good pressing and good link up play. Lamela looks sharp, been very involved and had a lovely chip ball for Soldado who headed it down for Lennon

No, i'm just assuming that every bad pass and stray ball is naughtons fault though.
