You certainly back the manager in such situations but I think he's got it wrong. If that 'advanced midfielder/support striker' position is Bojan's position then fine but it isn't is it? It is though and he's said it himself that he plays centrally, either as the main striker or behind. Really? I'm genuinely not being facetious. He can play as a main central striker or in behind, not wide? Is that what we've bought?

At Roma I think he played centrally. Anyway best not talk about this. A bloke in Warrington is about to explode.

Meaningless freindly with new players trying to blend into the team.
Nothing to see here

No Bego yet but he came back with Palacios from the WC. Just giving the others a run out, injured or what? No conspiracy theories please, UKnotony won't like it.

Where was Butland ?
Come to that,what about Jerome,he's not even in Germany is he ? Is he training elsewhere ? Surely we'd have more chance of offloading him if we keep him fit

Worrying thing for me is that we have a bit of pace up front now, but didn't see Diouf receive one decent ball, the whole time he was on.

total bollocks this thread - supposed to be about a football match isnt it ? Why don't you needlessly go and create an attention seeking thread on a subject already being discussed in another thread then? Oh wait, you already have and you always do. That's very bitchy. And very funny.

Disappointing day all round, but let's take the positives. My guess is MH tried and checked out a few things today and learnt a few lessons. Losing is disappointing, but more will have been learnt than a 14 - 0 victory.
I saw little of the first half properly and my only impression was how weak Stoke's line was in front of the back 4 and an inability to create any chances from the meagre possession. I'm sure MH and his management team will be working hard on what they saw in the next 24 hours to come up with a plan for an improved effort for the next match.

In a 4-2-3-1, I don't think we've bought the '1' have we? Diouf? Oh yeah he's the '1' Bojan isn't though is he? Crouch will be the '1' if Diouf isn't in the managers mind as it stands, I would have thought?

you can watch the first half again if you want. 9:57 Great touch on the move by Bojan and unlucky in the end. Pieters/Muniesa linking with Arnie and Bojan and Diouf's movement for him to find should cause a lot of defenders problems over the season

Next season we should have several friendly games to get us fit and match sharp to play the friendly games then everybody will be happy.

I don't think Bojan is a 1 in this league, no. No apologies required old son, I'm as confused/eager to find out, what's going on in the managers head as anyone with this lad. Having a good look at his career I don't think he can play in a Hughes 4321 myself but I'm a div and Hughes is ace.

I saw some of the first half and nearly all of the second half. I thought we were being beaten to the ball too easily so I think we will be better as the players return to full fitness in the next two or three weeks. We dont seem to be playing to dioufs strengths

Didn't we lose to Newcastle Town 2-1 a couple of years ago in a preseason friendly?
I wouldnt worry about the result or even the performance as of yet, guys.

Losing 3 points this early in the season is really worrying - We could be down by xmas at this rate

In person getting pelted in the rain on that hill the football was dire but the craic was 90. Good run out for fitness and no injuries of any consequence. Munich 1860 seems like a proper club with great fans, very friendly bunch. We will be fine, as Chugga would say, "dunna worri" Les will get it sorted. This was an awesome background for footy, Reit Im Winkl is a beautiful village.

We desperately need a right winger. I think Odemwingie can take up that roll but an out and out right winger is essential to the development of the squad.

There was someone else trying to give people the information also but he seemed to be arguing with someone who was disputing that we were watching the match. The thread was at www.frombar.com/20140726/wv53d3b3663efa4387982184-856722.html
