How was the game? Heard Mustafi was terrible again.
Glad the youngsters get a run out. John Jules scoring is a pleasant surprise!

Özil was different class.
good games from Leno, Niles, Dinos, Suarez
Watched the game.
AMN was the best player of everyone that played. Dunno what's happened to him since the United game but someone has lit the hottest of fires under his arse. I want to see him maintain that level of intensity now.
Sheaf and Gilmour looked very one-note - they move the ball around OK but didn't really control the game the way I would have liked them to. They had 2 very similar games that I watched for the U23s this season as a midfield 2 - in fact, they were pretty poor in those games. I like the two players individually but I think they should be candidates to leave soon - pains me to say as I'm a huge fan of Sheaf but it might be best for him .
I really enjoyed Suarez' performance aswell. I guess that's the player they were looking for when they signed him. Problem is if he can up the intensity when it matters. Let's see.
Defense was a problem. Medley shoehorned into LB and didn't look comfy. Thompson looked a lot more capable in the position. Mustafi is a f*cking clown and the sooner he's gone the better. Mavropanos is already better than him and he's not even fit nor completely ready. Jenks was decent.
Really wanted to see Amaechi do well but he played a pretty one-dimensional game. Definitely exciting, but having assessed his 45 mins with the first team - and I'd like to see more of him in this setting, as a caveat - he's still pretty raw in some ways. I'm eager to see more but my expectations are a lot more tempered now.
The youngsters in the 2nd half were better. Thompson and Osei-Tutu slotted in, Olayinka also looked far more interesting in a first team capacity than Sheaf and Gilmour. Strong, physical but comfy technically. John-Jules was excellent leading the line, pressing and harrying and taking his goal very well.
John Jules was really impressive. Caught the eye.How was the game? Heard Mustafi was terrible again.

You mean if messi passed the initial pass to jenko? i agreeIf Messi had scored Jenks goal it would be all over the net to prove he is the best player in history.
Come on! The ease with which he hits shots with right and left, the speed of reaction, the quick thinking. Impressive. That's going into his greatest hits dvd.You mean if messi passed the initial pass to jenko? i agree
What was special about his goal, blasts an easy chance to the bar then flufed the rebound in lol
The pass was the impressive feat of this move...
So Suarez had a good game? I didn't see it but when I had a quick look at 60 mins he was still on the pitch. Did he play the whole game?
Why is he considered anywhere around good? ( bottom line is We bought him...) its because when you go all in all the time, some of them work, and you look like youre a genius... thats what i think...
he played with ease. had some great footwork and dribblings, was always on the move looking for the ball. he is a tiki taka player and it was refreshing to see that even in a friendly, missed a bit of that.
he also had some well timed and controlled tackles which was a nice bonus.
it's up to him to show more fire
in his style, seams like he has a bit of Özil body language
I don't think we're sending him back either. I think he has shown glimpses of what he was brought in for and he has done so in very limited game time...Thanks, I managed to see the highlights but they were very short. I know some people feel we'll send him back in the summer but I'm not so sure. Obviously some game time before the season ends will make the decision easier.
