We should cancel the games in America. Too dangerous for our team to travel there given the prevalence of gun violence and white nationalism, especially with a president too cowardly to confront either.

Well I don't blame conservative America for installing better border control. South America is a pretty violent place and doesn't have the same values we have in our more civilized world, I wouldn't want them in my country either without a proper check and good guidance and control.

It wasn't pretty last night. Granted it is another pre-season friendly but it still wasn't inspiring.

Plus Points:

Umtiti - Looked decent. Made a mistake but hopefully he is over his injuries. We need the best version of Umtiti this year. A colossus when fully fit.
De Jong - Slipped into the pivot role as if he had played for us all his life. Major plus this given Biscuits form last season.
Semedo – Solid performance, although final ball still lacking.
Puig – Looks like a handy squad player.
Griezmann – Great movement. I can’t wait to see him link up with Messi and Suarez.
Rafinha – Always looks the part in pre-season? Can we gamble on him again this year having an injury free season? I doubt it.

Negatives:

Well everyone else played a bit ‘meh’. Preseason and all that. What worried me was the lack of a system again. We look threatening down the left as always with Alba but that makes us so predictable that teams can easily counter. Down the right Semedo gave us width but has nobody to link with. He tried with Dembele but…well I am not getting into it as the fanboys will all be out in force saying that he had another amazing game as they refuse to see what is in front of their eyes. Perhaps Roberto on the RCM would work? Through the middle was just a shit show. Aimless vertical passes that went nowhere.

Our transition is almost non-existent. Ernesto has a lot of work to do before the start of the season and two money making games in the US is not the answer.

OFFICIAL | Lionel Messi will not travel to the United States due to an injury in his right calf, he suffered in training this morning. He will stay in Barcelona and his availability to come back to action will be dictated by his recovery from the injury.
