I think Stirling would have come in if fit.

Yes, but he's impressed me in his 10 minutes in a couple of dead-rubbers, so he's clearly taking us to Champions League glory!

Injured. I don't know when he's back?

I think the first XI is: Dessers - Sima / Sakala Lammers Cantwell - Raskin - Dowell / Lundstram Yilmaz - Davies (I'd prefer Yfeko, tbh) - Souttar - Tavernier Butland

I like how he points where he wants the ball.

That Dompe (Dombe?) is good.

I can't believe Rice is 16. He's taking the piss out there.

I'm loving the diamond formation.

Yaaassss!

Sounds like I'm in the minority. I was not impressed. We had some good chances, but I didn't feel they came about through anything we did; it was mainly counters. That's not a bad thing - counterattacks are a key phase of the game - but I'd like to see us create from open play, through initiating our own attack, building through the thirds.

Yes, I suppose that's all that matters, but we should be working on our plan of attack for this season. Sima will play as a forward for us, I think.

Yes, I think he does favour the left side, so he can cut inside.

No, Andy, MB will not be pleased with that half. Come on. (Is it Andy?)

I don't think MB is happy. He's frustratedly trying to get across some tactical ideas.

The referee is terrible. *looks up who it is* Oh - As you were.

I love wee Fashion.

I have no idea what we're trying to do? It's back to 'play a couple of short passes and lose the ball', or 'lob it in behind and lose the ball'.

Anyone else noticed how far their 'keeper comes out in the build-up? He's basically a third CB!

Our pressing is terrible. Look at the Hamburg press: high with every player backing them up. We've got 2 or 3 pressing and the rest sitting back. The gaps are too easy to play through.

No Yfeko no fête.

You're on you own there...

Just wondered. Me neither. I'm OK with the Danilo bid(s), though.

We're you alright with 5 million quid being spent on Dessers?
