Just in case anyone missed it. I don't like Mount.

Garnarcho was really good

Maybe a bit off topic but i suppose with the current Brexit it wouldnt have been possible to bring Garnacho over at a very young age?
Don't think it affects athletes, as they are sponsored by their clubs/FA as "exceptional talents".
Basically the whole permit thing.

The players must be excited that they can actually pass it to the keeper with confidence. Love the reception Sancho just got

Fantastic prrformance by Garnacho! Absolute superstar and definitely excited to see how he does this season. Hopefully Sancho continues his solid pre-season performances here

Hopefully that’s to keep him injury free for Wolves. Very good showing from the lad, think he will just get better and better with every game.

Will be our star player in year or two.

What's with these constant attempts from long range Len's are trying. Do they think that's an Onana weakness?

They’re being shit down further forward. We used to do this a lot ourselves.
Not sure they’ve researched a pre season friendly that intently

It is a weakness I think but I don't know if it's a plan or if they're doing it because they're rushed by the pressing and can't play it in.

Sanchos first touch has been horrible so far. Twice he’s lost it immediately

Looks like we're going to see quite a bit of positional rotation among our front five this season.

It's like when De Gea first arrived and everyone thought long range shots was his weakness and people were having pot shots from all over the place.

Everybody is going to hate me for saying this, but this is a classic Oleball win. Two counter-attacks and one set piece. Mind you I have only seen the highlights, not the whole game so might be wrong.
You not far off, not a lot created from actual build up play.

There is a point to be made about how we deal with strong mid blocks that become low blocks. We can't seem to consistently play through those and create chances.

What does Oleball even mean? Should we stop counter attacking completely?

I don't mind counter attacking football, as long as it doesn't come from being bunkered down in our own penalty area for the majority of the game.
