Exactly mate. Look at the players coming off at ht. They look like they've been swimming. This will stand them in good stead for the season proper. I know we'll do well this year.
Exactly this is what I want from a preseason friendly. I’m not interested in the result it’s meaningless. The best result is the players get match fit and come through uninjured.

We've spent 100m and we have only 1 new starting XI player.

I thought my lack of excitement over this window was due to me getting jaded about football but when you look at this XI you think, 'yeah we are still way short'
Mate, it's pre-season ffs.

Not to mention that what we have done is improve the squad massively.

Last season, Conte would've turned to the bench during a game like this and seen the grand total of fuck all to help him change things up.
Now he looks to the bench and has a plethora of options that are just as good as those playing, if not better, different at least.

For those saying he is awful and we are bad etc etc...

Stadium temperature is 30C and 80% humidity. Its clearly telling on everyone - its not like Roma played well as well.
If we get something today, great - if not, I will only see this as a fitness game.
This is a taster of what Qatar will be like.

I think you squad build best when you buy players for the first XI, buying squad players doesn't work. You can buy a youngster but you should recruit quality on top of quality.

I don't find this Summer's signings very exciting, Bentancur and Kulusevski were legit disruptive purchases for the first XI
