How is it a step backwards? I think it's unfair to say we haven't moved forwards as we've already addressed a massive issue (left back) and we're playing with more attacking intent, but to say we've actually taken a step backwards from last season is unbelievable. We haven't even played a proper match yet.

Much possesions doesnt mean entertaining football. Constant passing around the midfield and defence is not effective or entertaining.

It isn't a massive step backwards but christ it was dull.
We didn't create much at all and our weakness is there for all to see.
Hughes needs backing in the market and fast.

Without doubt Massive step backwards. Dire Stuff Believe me. Anyone who thinks that's how we will play in the Premier League is a baffoon. Its all about getting players on the ball and passing it, its a friendly a week before the season with both sides playing at about 50%. I dispair at the level of stupidity of some fans.

To be fair, Hughes has said all week that he would be trying things in this game with a view to the Liverpool game.

I didn't go so I can't really comment on today but from my experience teams that try and emulate Barca's tika taka football fail for a number of reasons, namely Xavi, Iniesta & Messi.
I find it bloody boring to watch unless it's Barca or the Spanish national side and even then I cannot say I find it entertaining.
I hope we don't start the season trying to play that way as we will get royally shafted.
Possession is fine IMO if there is a plan and a point to it. Unless we have £250 million to spend let's not dilute ourselves and become the whipping boys just yet please.

I'm hoping that some of what we were doing today was just pre-season silliness and we'll be considerably more focussed and determined in a competitive match.

I must be easily pleased, thought it was Ok, should have scored a few first half. Nzonzi and Adam looked ok, as did Palacios apart from the odd suicide ball. It's obvious we need changes up front and on the wing, none of them good enough.

Fuck off up the vale then. Brilliant response. Why can't anyone ever offer constructive criticism on this board? You want constructive criticism but start a thread saying we are going down! Very good sir.

Don't start talking about constructive post with the pathetic stuff you right, I'd hate to think you were a grown man. Like I say if you can't see the aim of the friendlies then football is not for you.

The intent is very laudable but until we have a central midfielder who can make a forward pass, wingers who can pass and make runs and a striker who can pass, make runs and finish it's all futile.
That said we missed two borderline sitters.

I didnt see or hear the game, if stoke played well or not, but its obvious the strike force needs sorting, as MH has promised
