Pre-Season Friendly vs Crystal Palace

MITROGLOU ACTUALLY PLAYED

 

Just watched the highlights. Impressed with Cairney's dribbling and passing out of midfield. Sweet pass of his started the buildup to Pringle's goal. Not impressed with O'Hara's shooting. Woof. As my late grandfather often said, I can do that good. Must've been aiming for the Putney Bridge or walkway in Bishop's Park. Defending is still a concern. Not much has changed on the back line, as many have pointed out here, and it shows. Little to no pressure up high in any of the footage I saw. Gonna be a struggle until we address this. And Mitroglou looked like a real footballer. Skill is obvious. Don't expect us to keep him, but it would be nice if we did. A luxury we can't afford, I'm afraid.
