Pellistri is what I hoped to see from some of these promising guys. Looks to have excellent technique while moving with the ball, good touch, fast off the mark and showed great composure for the goal.

Hes young and small so no doubt he can use some loans to get used to professional football, but definitely has potential (and IMO too good for reserves).

Nearer my Cas, to thee
it wasn't uncommon for people who watch the u23s to say the same, in fairness.

It's just impatience from fans.
He seems to give that impression. The first time I watched him I thought what's the fuss about? Then he scored two goals in about 30 seconds and I was all oh, ok.

We are lacking 20 players and we are making fun of a Championship-side....looking promising

I know this is the first match of the pre-season, but Pellistri looks above everyone. He seems to have a good football intelligence.
I want him to have a loan with a EPL not La Liga team. Otherwise we will have to send him there next season.
Fair enough! Definitely takes longer for those types to come through. Just assumed he'd be along the same lines as Rashford or Greenwood where their qualities were immediately obvious.
Once he develops physically we will see a better player. Only 17 so I doubt we would be blown away till he gets 19/20 years of age.

Pereira is that guy who idolised technical midfielders growing up, copied them, mimicked their body feints, passing technique, but just isn't good enough to pull off half the techniques he attempts.

Galbraith was confused there i guess. He left RB position and went into midfield..

That's terrible by Grant tbh. No way Heaton would have let that in. Genuinely no idea why we signed him and even less idea why we gave him a new contract

This is true, but they are facing a championship relegation battle and aren't allowed to sign players
Which makes you wonder if Garner needs another loan move. Clearly, from the first half he dont look ready at all.

Lindelof and AWB really making a great case for Varane and Trippier today.

Good strike by Richards, poor defending from Pereira and Bernard.
