Pre-Season: vs Granada

Who passed there to Munir, it was a good pass

Decent stream there! We did okay 1st half, we been solid and unlucky not to score. Main thing is to not pick up any injuries and finish the match strongly. Vamos!

Not getting forward quick enough, and trailing with the ball in our own half. We have hard-working forwards & two wizards in midfield, yet too many passes going back. Good to see Munir use his right foot, but wish the wingers were inverted.

Banega with the yellow card already. This guy wastes no time… :pensive:

Gudelj looks a bit lost and not for that pivot position, missing Fernando there.

Also - no Nolito no party lol

Yh we struggled big time 2nd half! Although, it’s only a friendly so no damage done yet. We will need to be better than this against espanyol next week for sure! However, they need time still to gel and we still may add to squad too!

Plus we will know even more when la Liga starts next week and after first few games!

no trophy right? just a friendly. I think it’s finished as a draw.

doesn’t matter ugggg 2-1 Granada

Ah damn, shame to end like that!

Corchia out jumped and beaten at the far post from an excellent free kick .

or was that from the run of play, i missed the beginning of it.

Yh was a good goal by them to be fair!

Can’t rely on Corchia for the defense throughout the season. Navas is also weak in the air, we’d need a proper RB if we want to get things right.

actually i guess it was a trophy. oh well. First loss of the preseason.

I’m afraid you are right. Navas as a RB with three in the back works, maybe not with only 2 anymore.

Better to lose to then now than in 2 weeks time! Hopefully we learn from this and address the issues. I have faith this team will be good but we just need to work on a few things and hopefully we add a bit more to team.

Be interesting to see what starting 11, Lopetegui picks first la Liga game!
