Re: Preseason Friendly Thread
I did not even think of Hector, putting it through how you said it, he won't even be a half bad captain and would probably do better than Granit.rodders999 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 21, 2019 12:26 pmYeah Sokrites would also be my first choice, after that I’d actually give it to Bellerin. I think the responsibility of the armband would see him play in a less cavalier way and actually improve him as a player big time. Think the captaincy would suit him.Rian1 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 21, 2019 11:01 amThe thing is, who would you give it to? The crisis with this squad, no one can be THE leader.

You’re right in saying the team is devoid of leaders but under absolutely no fucking circumstances should the Swiss turd ever be captain, the prick shouldn’t even be at the club.
No doubt, Papa should get the armband this year. What the fuck is UE seeing in Xhaka as captain, let alone a no-brainer starting 11 player is beyond my thoughts. Maybe this year he plays with his head a bit more... one can only hope.

Xhaka should have just given away a pen, ref missed it and no VAR.
Back four doing okay against benzema, modric, hazard etc. Mondi looks mustard. Quick af.
Auba on the break - lovely flick from laca and PEA14 does Ramos for pace 2-0 ,!!!!
Get in.

Madrid all over us in the last five - xhaka now CB . Jenko and kolasinac playing very well.
Weve drooped off following the red, but before that our front four were mustard. They ciuldnt cooe with iur pace, quick inter play or the long balls over the top.
Very tetchy from Madrid. They dont like losing

Lovely move from our front four - only good keeping from Courtois.
We are starting to tire. Time for Eddie etc.
