Lost on pens....oh well it’s only the fucking Micky mouse cup

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Pretty good run out in the Caribao Friendly that. Lots of positives, on to the important stuff.

 

[Droppingwell]

A glorious run comes to an end....

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

Foderingham started diving for that last pen before he had even put the ball on the spot

 

[originaltrueblade]

Lowe the shining light

 

[RecordBreakers]

Just saying similar styled strikers can make a good pair.

They don't play as a front two both are wide forwards.

 

[neverknowinglywrong]

That's a relief. UTB

 

[8lade]

Aah well, we did our best it's always difficult when you come up against premier league opposition.

 

[essexblade73]

No it wasn't

Mane and Salah play in a front 3. They can be similar, but cannot play in a front 2.

 

[saw516]

Lowe and Berge looked solid, Bogle looked good first half but seemed to dissapear in the second

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Foderingham started diving for that last pen before he had even put the ball on the spot

Possibly the easiest set of penalties since the Arsenal team clocked that Kenny was too injured to dive on one side.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Mane and Salah play in a front 3. They can be similar, but cannot play in a front 2.

I don't care.

 

[BobblesBlade]

if we need money sell McBurnie and get a proper forward in.

 

[Ldn_Rd_Blades]

Shame we are out, less game time for the reserves.

Lowe played brilliantly
Ditto Berge
Norwood looked handy on the right
Bogle did well, got caught out of position for their goal.
Ampadu didn’t do anything wrong
Burke is rapid
Jags and Foderingham looked shakey
Rest played like they normally do

 

[S40BLADE]

Lowe and Berge looked solid, Bogle looked good first half but seemed to dissapear in the second

Agreed. I think the change in midfield and lack of mobility and space around the pitch effected him slightly.

 

[JackSUFC]

Happy we’re out tbh.

 

[essexblade73]

I don't care.

You did when you made your point which was flawed

 

[Lawrence]

Pretty good run out in the Caribao Friendly that. Lots of positives, on to the important stuff.

Lots of positive, tell me?

 

[Iceybabey]

Lowe, gets in a good crossing position, gets his head up, picks out a pink shirt, simple.

 

[AdamSufc1997]

Lots of positive, tell me?

It wasn't a league game so that's one

 

[SteveBlade]

 

[What the Hecky]

Disappointed we lost, plenty of positives to take from that though and it isn't the worst thing in the world, one less fixture to worry about in a year of congestion.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

You did when you made your point which was flawed

Darn

 

[benn5712]

Bollox. Just...bollox.

Hate losing.

 

[SuperSonicBlade89]

Another loss to add to the consecutive collection.
But I couldn't care less about the league cup tbh.

 

[Chingo]

That keeper ... for gods sake , stevie g must be laughing his nuts off !
Was diving before the pen was taken

 

[Not_a_Cheat]

I only watched it to make sure we got eliminated in our 6th straight defeat. other than that I didn't really put other stuff off, JUST to watch United.....

 

[RegBlade]

if we need money sell McBurnie and get a proper forward in.

Didn't Brewster miss a pen the other week for Liverpool?? Better not sign him!

 

[CW7]

Let's have Burke and Mcburnie up front next match. That kid can run!

 

[bromtom]

Lowe, Bogle, Ampadu all good in the debuts. Stevens and Baldock have their work cut out.

Berge quality.

Burke gets stuck in, I think he'll be reyt for us, lovely ball across the 6 yard box in the first half no-one was interested in.

Norwood all over the show, good shot but delivery was poor again.

Foderingham is a bit shit, let's be reyt. Saved from a certain pen by the offside flag, nowhere on the goal really though I'd have to watch it again, and that penalty shootout performance was wank. Like he was told not to try too hard.

Overall, disappointing that we've lost but felt like a good preseason game. Not really that fussed.

Didz got off the mark too, hopefully an improved showing this season goal wise.

Jack Robinson solid again.

Missed too many chances though, need that striker through the door.

Can see Ampadu starting over Norwood next game tbh, and maybe one of Lowe and Bogle. Bogle has the Berge-esque 'wading through tackles' about him, and both can beat a man with a trick.
