This thread so quiet one.....
What the heck is wrong with the team so far? I know these are friendlies but performances like these, even for a reserve side, is damn poor. I only watched the Kaiserlaustern match but we looked disjointed and only played well in fits and starts. no fluidity in the passing and movement. the defending was....
and now we lost 3 straight friendlies, each one with a worse score than the other.
Some more the team's preparation all screwed up by world cup. First team players barely had a chance to play in a match, much less get into full match fitness.
friendlies are friendlies, don't really matter. But doesn't look to me like we're ready at all for the new season. And Maccabi Haifa is a good team, no pushovers, in better fitness condition after having played in earlier qualifiers and definitely motivated like hell. If we're not careful, we'll fall at the first hurdle. We MUST make it to the CL group stage at least or our finances would be screwed.
I hope this season won't be another false dawn like houllier's final season. We need to get our acts together and play like a team.
C'mon Reds!!
