@Statford_Bridge First 60 mins was just turgid but "tidy" possesison, not dreadful but not incisive. Then we made all the subs and you may as well switch your brain off at that point.

MNJ a real standout next to Moi at the start though. Palestra + Quenda/Estevao putting together good moves

[. @Chimera_211]

@CFCParee If you told me he was a 24 year old thats just come back from the world cup I'd believe you

[. @Chimera_211]

@NiiNiiFC We still need someone imo, MNJ should be the academy link this season and then pushing the first team next year (Pretty sure Alonso actually said this about him too which is great)

At max he should be above the likes of Essugo, cup mins. But we still need a starter next to Moi

[. @Chimera_211]

@CFCPys @Santi_J_FM @DahbiaHattabi So what your saying is... he's coming back next summer?

[. @Chimera_211]

Its a "loan + option to buy" from a Seria A club...

@matissearmani @AlexisIsKavkas You're right but at the same time I feel he's not a great partner to Moi. Like he's better as the Moi backup over being next to him, they don't compliment eachother very well profile wise. Too many shared weaknesses

They both need a pnp merchant with them to help cover ground

[. @Chimera_211]

@GoldbergCFC Honestly (sales dependent) but I think it would not be a bad thing at all for Satpaev to stick around until January at least to acclimatise to England and the First team experience before we loan him out

[. @Chimera_211]

@GoldbergCFC Positives:
- Everybody still in one piece
- Palestra looks a great fit, MNJ also class

Negatives:
- Midfield needs better cover, past Moi/Enzo its looking rough
- Delap and Tosin are still employed

[. @Chimera_211]

@AlexisIsKavkas The only major takeaway is more mins in the legs, and nobody got injured on that abomination of a pitch.

I saw us get clapped 4-1 by Celtic in pre-season, it meant nothing. The results are irrelevant in these games

[. @Chimera_211]

@quinner12344 The starters seemed just fine, once we make changes however...

[. @Chimera_211]

@Iewdawg I've seen enough, bring on the Reggies

[. @Chimera_211]

@OfficialCutzy I believe these changes are only for the Competitive gameplay, Authentic isn't affected as much (if at all)

[. @Chimera_211]

@ZG1999_ Outside of just the optics/vibes being weird and off that its Henderson I see very little downside tbh

Free, not high wages, not blocking youth, 4th-5th choice at best. Durable enough to not be injured in the extremely rare cases we might need him. Plus all the off pitch benefit

[. @Chimera_211]

@Je_Frota I think sadly the mistakes in his early development have put us at a stage where he needs a starter role to develop. Which he isn't quite good enough to do for us yet so a strong loan would be the play

But him/his reps believe he is so they'll probably push for a permanent move

[. @Chimera_211]

@flameosumeet First 60 mins was the kids essentially. Satpaev/MNJ/The Reggies all standing out from that group. Poor individual defensive performances though.

Then for the last 30 we brought on the starters and they did the business

[. @Chimera_211]

@ThatMunichNight Starter for the national team + scored a goal of the season contender in the WC group stage

At Leverkusen 100% feels like the type that would go for double what we're paying this time next year

[. @Chimera_211]

@Je_Frota Gittens dry loan to Roma perchance?

[. @Chimera_211]

@willreyner @CFCDaily Since he can't technically join the club until he turns 18 he can't play in official games. But Kairat gave him special dispensation to come early and train with us for pre-season

He can play in friendlies

[. @Chimera_211]

@OfficialCutzy They seem good but huge grain of salt though since how often to new career mode features not work on release? Or break something else in the process

Number 1 addition I'd love is some kind of in-game editor, would open up so many possibilities and let us fix the bugs ourselves

[. @Chimera_211]

@flameosumeet Its the kinda experience people have clamoured for in the dressing room. Provided we can sell/exile the majority of the CBs we have and play a back 3.

Colwill/Hato - Lacroix/Stones - Reece/Josh

As back 3's go thats pretty damn good
