Match reaction vs Vietnam.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Another superb win!

Slow first half, Giroud keeps belting them in all angles, so I'd like him to stop dropping deep and losing it.

Most embarrassing moment - Poldi and Giroud somehow messing up an easy chance.

Plenty of good stuff from Gnabry, Eisfeld and Zelalem. Germans.

Theo had a stinker aside from the lay off for Oxocubes goal, or maybe he was aiming for the roof, it happened enough times.

Kids looked better than the first team.

Conceding a goal to these lot

[Joker]

Theo may have been crap but we shouldn't read much into these games. It's still early pre-season and Theo delivered where it really mattered last season so there shouldn't be a question mark about the fact that he'll be one of the first names on the team sheet come August.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Be as that may, his shooting was erratic to say the least, if only for today. Podolski similarly had a poor game.

[Niall_Quinn]

Podolski, Giroud, Walcott - none are good enough at the level we want to be at. Like that kid Akpom though, and Gnabbers. Eisfeld too. If we aren't signing quality this year it would be tempting to dump most of the first team in favour of these kids. What's the worst that could happen? We wouldn't qualify to be fodder in the CL. Payoff might be a bit of entertainment. Wouldn't mind that.
