Who is Hoarau?
A beautiful team goal there, finished off by Samaras. 
Izaguirre, Rogic and Stokes all make their pre-season debuts in this one.
1-1. Great finish but Wilson was caught on the back foot.
We’re playing 3-5-2 this evening:
Forster,
Mouyokolo, Virgil, Wilson,
Lustig, Kayal, Rogic, Mulgrew, Izaguirre,
Stokes, Samaras.
Oh dear. 2-1 down. A whipped in corner evades all defenders, including Mulgrew who stepped out of the way at the back post, and some cunt tapped it in.
Outstanding goal. 2-2. A series of one twos between Stokes and Samaras and Lustig slides it home. Lennon’s job is safe for now.
3-2 to them. Penalty for a ridiculous hand ball decision. :mad:
Gone to a 4-4-2 diamond formation now with Zaluska, Commons and Henderson on for Forster, Virgil and Mulgrew. I don’t think Kayal playing the defensive midfield role will work when the main stuff starts - he not disciplined enough for it.
Wanyama was originally named in the team this evening but then withdrawn. Perhaps there’s transfer news in the offing?
Who was that who chased back on that throw out Bandage? We were wide open initially but he did well. Was it Henderson?
Dunno, pal. I was composing a post about Irish cricket and wasn’t paying attention.
Brian Kerr isn’t very bright bless him.
Baldé has had a mixed career until last season apparently. I’d say Kerr saw loads of him as a teenager.
McGeouch isn’t much of a full back!
Defending has been rank rotten. McGeouch was shocking there again for that goal.
Poor from McGeouch alright. I wonder what’s going on with Matthews and Ledley. I know Brown’s still feeling the effects of rushing back for the cup final after his longstanding hip/abductor problem. The only decent pre-season we’ve had in the last decade was the Mowbray one!
McGeouch caught out again. He’s all over the place.
Fucking hell. They hit the bar and then the post and now he’s awarded another dubious penalty.
5-2…
I fear Cliftonville.
This McGeouch cameo is one of the worst I’ve ever seen.
Granted he’s playing out of position…

It’s up there with Michael Gray in Lyon. He’s done everything possible wrong.
