De Jong and Martinez make a ridiculous amount of sense to add to this team. We're desperate for dribbles (press resistance) and ball carriers. Arguably the players' key abilities.

How dare anyone say anything against Bailly? Don’t you guys know “when fit” he is Maldini and Baresi combined?

Would love to see Savage and Iqbal getting a chance in midfield with our strongest eleven in the next game. Both looks quality.

There are a few players that you cans see from the 2 games will not make it under Ten Hag.

Telles, AWB, Donny, Chong are all below par.

He was always technically gifted, but wasn't a standout player for the youth sides. Part of that was due to his physicality. Another part was that he didn't get as much playing time as other star players.
Aye, that's the kind of feedback I've read over the years. Only pre-season of course, but nice to hear he's doing well.

How is it the Brazilian international, possibly most experienced player out there is also our worst? Madness.
He always sticks out in every game he plays as the worst player on the pitch. Genuinely awful.

WTF is Bailly doing? He goes from looking world class to being a clown

Considering they have played against the same midfield, Zidane and Savage haven’t looked any worse than Fred and McTominay.

The 2 first pre-season games where none of those have played more than a half?

Get a grip.

It's unacceptable from Bailly. Has been here long enough and is no kid.

This the Bailly fans are having a meltdown over because we're signing another defender instead of playing him?

Can't believe he still has fanboys trying to defend him.

Somebody said it before but Bailly really can be the best and worst defender in the world at the same time.

No dear, it was me, he said you are not real person so wanted to make him feel better after taking your bite. I surprise myself sometimes how nice I can be.
Eh? I didn't take the childish bite. I called it an epic fail, as in it was a shit attempt of humour. The fact people bit is fecking outrageous.

Zidane and Savage look a step up quality wise to McTom and VDB so far this preseason which is nuts

Laird plays everything backwards, so disappointing.
