Holymoly Report post Posted August 1, 2014 Could do with some sense of Jose's first team getting some minutes playing together. What's the point of pre-season if the first time they play on the same pitch is at Turf Moor? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orange Blue Report post Posted August 1, 2014 Could do with some sense of Jose's first team getting some minutes playing together. What's the point of pre-season if the first time they play on the same pitch is at Turf Moor?He's working on that. Wednesday he substituted a whole lot later than before in pre-season. But it will take a bit of time to bed in players coming back from holiday. I suspect a couple of them won't be ready for Burnley. Atleast not to start.

Sciatika Report post Posted August 1, 2014 Could do with some sense of Jose's first team getting some minutes playing together. What's the point of pre-season if the first time they play on the same pitch is at Turf Moor?I have a feeling the real "first team" won't be up to full speed until September.

stokerino Report post Posted August 1, 2014 Presumably we'll have the ludicrous international break again after about 3 games of the season?In the first week of September, yes. Although at least this year they're not having a round of August friendlies immediately after the FIRST game of the season... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
