Other Teams Pre-Season 2023

[gavspur]

I haven’t seen a thread on it, so thought I’d give it a go.
Has anyone been keeping an eye on other teams and how they’ve been performing in pre-season? I’ve seen a couple of results, but haven’t seen any of the games.
If anyone has seen any, who is looking good? And how far behind do we look compared to that?

I have only really watched two games not involving us (Man United v Arsenal and Chelsea v Fulham second half). United looked much sharper, Arsenal looked off it. Rice, Havertz and Timber didn't really do or offer much. I think if United get a clinical striker in they'll continue to improve under Ten Hag.

Chelsea had good build up play with pace v Fulham. Gallagher looked good from what I recall, and the new boys Nkunku and Jackson were full of running in behind. Chelsea going forward will be dangerous, but it's their defence I think still needs work.

Only one match to work off and of course pre-season, so can never really judge from it too much.

On a kit note I really like Chelsea's without a sponsor, really gives retro vibes to me.

Utd have lost every game since the Arsenal match.

One thing that seems to be consistent from all the games I've seen/read on is how poor everyone's defence seems to be...
