Nice interplay from Pulisic and Leao there, shame they couldn't take advantage.

Good cross from Tijjani. I like what I saw of him today. They will need to iron out some of his defensive awareness, but he looks like a real talent.

Lots of new players, lots of primavera players, too.
Mizuno Reijnders looks really impressive and i love players like him. However, last pre season we had a guy that played this well and in this style as well....

Wasn’t really impressed by RLC at all, I don’t think he’ll be effective without space.

Reijnders did some good things but the jury is out on him too. Haven’t seen a lot to impress me.

Team needs someone who can control tempo.

After the wholesale changes, I don't even know who's on anymore.
I see Adli, CDK, Simic, Romero, Pobega, Salad, Sportiello?

Is Chaka number 70?

Adli playing as a regista, winning the ball, and instantly releasing it to the attacking player in an advantageous spot.

CDK looks like he's being played as a CAM, it seems.
Basically the position he massively flopped last season

Colombo with a nice lay-off, I think he's learning his craft, and another loan would do him well to play week-in, week-out for another year to see how much he can progress.

Is Colombo playing?
CDK seems to be the furthest up the pitch.

Edit: nevermind. I see him.

I want to see Chaka on-the-ball more. Ultimately, these are players who have seldom (if ever) played together with experimental ideas and tactics.

Sales playing as a RB is an interesting sight.

We playing bad now
It's a bunch of kids right now. Our bench and reserves are playing right now. Only Pobega, Salad, Sportiello and Florenzi are technically Senior players (I don't cound CDK or Adli, still too young).

someone should tell sale that he doesnt have to overlap or rush forward after every pass.

Pulisic is doing the right things, but in the final third, I think he needs time to get adjusted to what he wants to do when he's playing RW. He's hesitating, which makes sense.

I want him to trust his left footed shot, because he has it. To settle down, and get to the by-line and cross, and the more he varies things up, the more space he'll get.

But so far, it's been the lack of passing and any patterns of play. It looks like we're very organized in with defensive structures and pressing concepts--but in the attacking phase and final third I see much less there and that is my biggest concern for this upcoming season.

Pobega with a good move, but should've passed instead of shot.

The kids crafted a couple of chances.
Good job.
Chaka steals the ball off Rugani, makes a chance for Colombo/Pobega, and then recycled enough for Romero to take a stab at the ball, saved by the keeper.

i dont like the way we used the cam position today, not with RLC nor with CDK

they stay too far upfield and are too uninvolved in buildup
Don't think Charles is playing cam

He's practically in line with Pobega
