Yesterday’s first match against Werder Bremen did little to inspire confidence, but then again it was a very weird starting lineup. I didn’t see the match but I am told that the three standout performers were Adrian, Declan Rice and Nathan Holland. Indeed, the latter two have apparently really impressed everyone in preseason so far. Today’s second match should see Joe Hart make his debut and the team ahead of him will contain far more first team regulars, I imagine, than yesterday’s did.
Please do use this thread to comment on the match as it progresses. It kicks off at 2.30pm and is available to watch on PremierSports.
Sorry about the drunk cameraman…
