stating the obvious...

but so far we've played two pre season games and conceded two penalties..

We're bound to be in the relegation places with that type of defending.

If it's being exploited that easily at preseason friendly level, then there are clear weaknesses which will be exploited if every other club in the league actually has the time to do their homework, or word spreads.

Relegation sounds so awful.....

Not been to either game (before I get criticised) but in the highlights both looked very harsh. Only seen one angle but both seemed less than 50-50.

Chelsea must be screwed then, losing 4-2. Obviously clear weaknesses, never going to win the league.

The |Richards penalty was a dive by any other name, but having said that Richards was in the wrong place.

However in the preseson Fulham have scored 5 (ignoring villa and millwall) so the attack will get the team promoted as that gives an indicaion of 115 goals over the season (well it's as realistic as the OP)

A goalie? Do you not rate Joe Hart then?

[blingo]

Isn't that Patrick Roberts' new role Leon? lol.

Tactics have changed all the time I have been watching football. I don't agree with players not being put on the posts at corners either

At least Roberts got to sit on the bench today, might be playing football again 1 day??

Sure we can help them out with a centre back, oops sorry forgot we haven't got 1!

I count 3 games.. Villa, Crawley & Berlin.  With two 3-1 wins and a 2-2 draw. If you're  going to say "We're bound to be in the relegation places with that type of defending". From what was a out and out dive and another from a player who has about as much chance of being a starting player as I do. Then by the same standard you would assume that scoring 8 goals in 3 games would have us in the promotion places.

Both assumptions are equally ridiculous.
