[Albion] The Rayo Vallecano friendly?

[Is it PotG?]

True. But it's the last preseason game with a starting lineup that is likely very close to what we'll put out against Luton next week.

It would be reassuring if we looked very nearly ready rather than still working stuff out.

We've a long, long season ahead.

Gross is not the answer. That’s all.

What's Pascals surname?
Who wears 13 for Brighton?
What is 12 x 12?
How would you describe my farts?

 

[US Seagull]

We've a long, long season ahead.

And three points on Saturday might make all the difference come the end of the season

Improving fitness, tweaks to tactics and getting through this without injuries is the main aim of the day. The last preseason is never anything other than a run out.

 

[Jimmy Come Lately]

I'm late to the party and when I started the stream YouTube indicated that 59K were watching already. For a friendly that seems... substantial. Maybe it's mostly Rayo Vallecano fans, but if it's not Barber really should start planning for extra tiers on all four stands.

 

[Mancgull]

Dahoud does look very ‘casual’.
Pedro should have squared that ball when one on one with the keeper. Mitoma completely free.

Indeed, and I'd expect energy levels to be three times what we get today.

 

[Gabbafella]

Pedro looks lively, seems to link up well with wellbeck. Dahoud has been off the pace, Steele has not been convincing at all. Dunk rusty too.
I know it's a friendly and only a week away from the season starting so I get why they're holding back a bit.

Absolutely

 

[The Fits]

João Pedro again the highlight. Linking up really promisingly with Welbeck.

 

[Deportivo Seagull]

If anyone needs to understand the last preseason game and players concerns I give you the very much missed Beram Kayal.

 

[WhingForPresident]

JP will be a menace in this side.

 

[7:18]

Pedro will be immense for us this season!

 

[Mancgull]

What a turn

 

[The Fits]

The way JP glides with those huge strides is football at its most beautiful.

 

[Littlemo]

I feel everyone looks like they are playing at half pace, even compared to the friendlies in the US.

 

[The Fits]

Why on earth would you come all the way to England for a pre season friendly and time waste?

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Welbeck looking rapid today.

 

[southstandandy]

We're going to have to get used to teams parking the bus so today is a good exercise from that point of view.

This is all a bit flat so far ! I hate friendlies
