West Ham
Leicester
Roma
shakhtar donetsk
Barcelona
This is what pre season was set up as, a long with a closed door friendly(or two, can't remember now). Having those set up would be an absolutely fine pre season.
The club had no control over Roma pulling out, or the weather for the Leicester game (other clubs have gone here most years and played fine) yes we can say it's not the best of ways to prepare, but it's not been a shambles. If those fixtures had all stayed as they were and been played, I bet no one even mentioned there being an issue.
