I just caught it online as we scored #2 for about 20 mins.....

if we don't lose any key players, we could be in for an exciting season...

A stairway to Heaven and a Highway to Hell give some indication of expected traffic numbers

I thought we looked badly exposed down our left side and lacked the incision of the latter part of last season. Far too many fouls from Lyon too for a friendly.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

We competed well and limited them to a few chances where Johnstone made some good saves.
Both our goals were from set pieces with poor defending that we may not encounter in the Premier League.
If we field this lineup in the early part of the season I think the games will be tight matches with a goal either way deciding the outcome.
If we can add some more flair before the window closes in the absence of Zaha and Olise that would help decide tight games where the inspiration is missing.

The ref allowed Lyon to foul at every given opportunity, I was actually surprised Ayew managed to walk off the pitch, shame we didn't play Rak-Sakyi for longer ..ten minutes was ridiculous.

They are supposedly a Champions League side ..on that performance..NO ..
Very poor..however we looked comfortable..personally I can’t wait for the Brazilian boy ..think he’ll take in his stride...be surprised....it’ll be an exciting ride....

It was a friendly, so meaningless.

It was noticeable how we became less solid when Doucoure went off.

Need more firepower.
