He asks daft questions, then rates the replies "wtf", so I'd file it under "want of understanding".

An experience for the guys, but what a pointless friendly only a week before the season. Remember when we played a big home game last week before with essentially the starting line up out!!

Fucking hell. Some folks need to pull up their Pampers.

I know it's a low level we're playing, but most of the first team aren't on the pitch and it's just a training game for all intents and purposes. I'm far more worried about players like Kane, Lloris, Dele, Trippier, Dembele and so on not being fit for the first PL game than this...and any new players too.

For a club of our stature and size fielding a side of that strength the week before the league starts is worrying at best and disgraceful at worst

What exactly is our "B" team midfield at the moment? I couldn't even tell you with all the injuries, potential outgoings and players that haven't been training what our "A" team midfield is right now.

People are now blaming our club for our players getting so far in the World Cup. I feel like I'm in a Monty Python sketch on SC at the mo...

Pretty atrocious. I think the most worrying thing moving forward is we've looked our worst playing 433 in the four games.

This might have been great experience for the youngsters, they impressed at chasing shadows for 90 minutes. Am sure we are well prepared for the premier league 2 or u23 league or whatever its called these days.

How would you possibly know by watching this?

Well I don’t know anymore than anyone else but a combination of selection tonight, several first teasers being missing and the rest still being on holiday makes me think we’re rather under baked.

The result today isn't worrying... A seriously under strength side is beaten comfortably by a full strength la liga outfit. The difference in physicality was evident to all, it was men vs boys, and you need enough men in your team to combat that.

However, we have a week to prepare a team to beat a decent Newcastle side, who won't be under strength and are defensively well organised, with a serious gamble in fielding about 9 players who were all playing in the later stages of the world cup.

That is worrying...
