I get the idea that the club is more important than the player, and for that reason the German teams have the team name above the number and the player name below. But, that doesn't seem to take into account how cameras often frame their shots, where the bottom part of the shirt isn't visible.

Nwaneri looks damn good for a 16 year old

He looks more than hungry he looks like he's ready to play regularly in a pro league lol.

[–] ironeaglebird@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He looks nothing like a 16 year old. What are they feeding them over at Hale End? Lol

Lovely Nketiah, literally just a preseason friendly and he's pressing every chance he gets

[–] echoplex21@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

He’s fighting for his position right now and I’m loving every second of it.

[–] Oneser@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I know the chances are slim, but I'd love to see Balogun stay at this club

Tierney is defensively sound. We'll need him at left back when Zinchenko can't keep up.

Ben white looking great

Oof, a "play out of the back" goal. Well played Nurnburg.

[–] swollenmonkey@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Saka is pure quality. He never stops

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

RB: 17. Cedric
RCB: 4. White
LCB: 6. Gabriel
LB: 3. Tierney

DM: 20. Jorginho
RCM: 21. Vieira LCM: 29. Havertz

Myles Lewis-Skelly (playing wearing 59) is only 16 and also doesn't look out of place in this team.

That free kick certainly was a free kick.

Didn't realize there was a chat function on lemmy, that's cool

Think it's on the website, I switched over to have a look and I think it's just comments sorted by new (maybe auto refreshes too but not sure)

Good thing the sun is setting. When it's in the sunny section of the pitch it's sometimes invisible.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Nwaneri calm down it's a friendly lol

[–] ironeaglebird@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Hein still developing his playing out from the back I see.

[–] TheBig2023Meltdown@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I want to see havertz come on, let's see what he's got

Wow. A lot of tricky play to get the ball to the middle then it drops for Kiwior who tries an outside-of-the-foot left-footed shot from near the top of the D and hits an Arsenal player (Trossard?) (18 minutes in or so, for someone looking for a fun replay).

Interesting that Kiwior is in that position though. I guess Arsenal is going to play with the left fullback tucking in even when Zinchenko isn't playing.

[–] ironeaglebird@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Looking forward to see Viera get an actual preseason.

Picture quality so bad I can’t say for sure who was last on the ball.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

When the action is on the shaded side of the pitch, the people in the sunny side are just white blobs with a bit of red.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I cant believe this is a tier 2 German side. Can barely tell with numbers whether it's Gabriel or Partey though the hair makes it clear

Forgot trusty was even on the bench and he's now on the pitch so good lad

[–] Rain3h@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

Balogun 👀

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Jesus in the middle, Balogun on the right wing, Nketiah on the left (?)

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

HAVERTZ IS ON THE PITCH

[–] Z4rK@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)
