WELL I BIT THE BULLET TO SUBSCRIBE AND PAY AND THE FUCKING STREAM IS DOWN.
NICE WASTE OF MONEY!
CHICAGO: YAY!

It's also on the SF hosting stream for those who have subscribed.
My one known vaguely-famous relative was Oliver Cromwell's wife.
Cool. Family tradition says that one of our ancestors was one of those who signed Charles I's death warrant. Probably bollocks, but I'm keeping it.
One of my ancestors apparently once grew turnips for the descended family of a nobleman who sailed over with William the conqueror. Well, turnips for their sheep. But the point remains.
I'm watching Brentford Villa. Quite good fun and impressive standard in the heat, and weeks from kickoff.
Don't see us finishing ahead of either of these.
Not that this has to do with anything but Wood is terrible at holding up the ball. This is a bad quality in a centre forward.
PSV are tidy and fast but so far non threatening. Forest are well a bit dull other than MGW and Danilo who look lively.
Taiwo is injured? I hope not.
Chicago: Hoping for a little cut and thrust.
Aina has looked pretty comfortable on and off the ball. Impressive for a first appearance.
Taiwo is presumably suspended due to his red card the other day.
Do you suspend for friendly stuff?
Not sure.
We have managed to kick sangare into feeling wanted.
This is okay.
No team look particularly dangerous.
I would like Forest to try some wing play and open it up. Wood looks dangerously isolated and unable to hold the ball. Is Arsenal next week or the week after?
Half time. Elanga has a cockney accent. Thought he was Swedish.
Anyway…. Where’s Gustavo.
Chicago: Looking for shiny shiny.

Sound Manc to me. Which is hardly surprising when he’s been there since he was 12.

Is Brennan playing? For one or tuther each half?
He’s probably off so I would so no.
Wood doesnt look good. Interesting to see how hwang is.
Scarpa not on the bench?
Horvath is like a heart attack waiting to happen in possession yet can still pass better than Hendo.
Boly is our best defender by a mile.
I think we need some attacking players.
Still early days..
Chicago: Action Man.
0-1.
Farting around in defence. Bakayoko nice goal. We are now looking ragged.
Chicago: meh.
Poor. We look to have regressed. Danilo a shadow of the player he was in April.
No attacking threat, so easy to play against - quick press and we’ll cough up possession.
Positives Aina, struggling after that.

Rested I imagine. Took a nasty bang on his calf v Leeds.

We are surprisingly garbage on the ball for a top flight side. Not really sure that we are defacto one yet.
Will need to rely on energy on the break, and emotion, to smuggle results again.
Chelsea/Fulham. Fulham might be the first competitor I've seen this pre-season who should be within range.
