He’s clueless, big few weeks ahead so we’ve still got time. Need to actually fucking do something instead of standing still whilst everyone else signs players….even derby paid over 5 million for a striker

oh fuck off you slug and lettuce loving dullard

We need a dynamic athletic presence in our team - they have ton of them

 

[Winny the Bish]

Not sure if monacos team this half is amazing or our 2nd half team is not great

They’ve done a proper mix of 1st team and youngsters both halves. We basically had the 1st team + Perry and Brau 1H and the 2nd string this half.

Akliouche who scored the 3rd had 15GA in Ligue 1 last season.

 

[Cov4Ever]

Lads it's a fitness friendly let's not stress out.

Although watching this we desperately need a striker and goalkeeper to a better standard. Where's Bertie anyways?

 

[David O'Day]

We're at the same stage of pre season as Monaco. Both have played just 1 game.

they're a far better team than us

 

[baldy]

Only a friendly of course but we've looked miles off

Why? Are they still in Portugal then?

 

[procdoc]

What do we benefit from playing teams like this? Surely it would be better to play more evenly matched teams to what we will face week in week out

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Monaco have some talent in attack.

oh fuck off you slug and lettuce loving dullard

What so what I’m saying isn’t true then? Shut up you fucking bellend, we need to get players in

 

[gspotgaz]

Getting absolutely murdered here lol

 

[skybluecam]

just heaps pressure on the Bristol Rovers game now

people are expecting our 2nd team plus mve and emc to really against a team this good

Correct.

but the game has just highlighted the same old issues - soft goals and plenty of them / back 4 that is too easy to get in against

 

[ceetee]

They are certainly a class apart

Do you think Lampard doesn’t know that ffs

6 pointer

 

[baldy]

If you ain't got that swing?

The Chic of it

 

[Deity]

There is always a risk in playing top class opposition in pre season … results like this can easily happen.

the upside is that no one at the club will be under any false illusion that we don’t need to strengthen this window.

 

[Matt smith]

They are certainly a class apart

They’ve got embolo up front

 

[ptr]

They are a good side, leave it at that. I am not one of those that ‘doesn’t care’ about pre season results but really we should only be worried if lesser teams were turning us over.

 

[Colin Steins Smile]

All our midfield lacking speed and physicality to compete at Monaco's level

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Do you think Lampard doesn’t know that ffs

Yeah that’s why our owner needs to invest more in the squad, still got a few weeks left so let’s see

 

[alexccfc99]

These are gonna be in the UCL next season, other than minutes I am not too sure what we stood to gain from playing them? Been men against boys

 

[stevefloyd]

Our back up team is fucking shite ahh well its a fitness test and a wake up for Frank and Doug but they are classes above us

 

[David O'Day]

What so what I’m saying isn’t true then? Shut up you fucking bellend, we need to get players in

it's monaco

it's july

fuck off your boat wearing nob

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Good move. Got a fucking corner!!!

 

[mrfr]

The kind of nonsense being posted on here is exactly why they didn’t want fans in Portugal, and are playing behind closed doors.

If people think we’re better off playing Leamington and Bedworth and learning nothing than we are playing Monaco and getting handed a good lesson then there’s no hope for you.

 

[Tommo1993]

We would have to win that one defo

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

We haven't learned anything new from this, Wilson remains sub-par in goal and we need better at CB. Would be nice to see us practice more than one way of playing though.

 

[Marty]

Does Wilson ever shut up?

The results mean fuck all at this point. We hammered Everton last year and were utter shite when the actual season started.

Exactly. Result means nothing, but people saying that its just a run around are wrong. Theres a lot to be learnt from these games.

 

[Matt smith]

Yeah I agree with you but let’s see what squad we have come August the 9th

 

[Cov4Ever]

Correct.

Exactly that.

But the clubs broke and we have 3 key positions to fix. (CB, GK and ST)

Maybe we should ask Liverpool for the money tree they seemed to have magically found!

 

[Hobo]

Does Wilson ever shut up?

I see it as a positive.
