Confirmed line-up: Fabianski, Naughton, Fernandez, Williams (c), Taylor, Ki, Cork, Shelvey, Routledge, Ayew, Gomis
Seems to me that Shelvey will play at the tip of the diamond and - at least in my eyes - sounds like a Chelsea line-up. Gylfi has just been woefully quiet in pre-season whilst Jonjo has looked mighty sharp. |  | | |

You think that with those players we will go with the diamond and put Ayew in central midfield rather than it being a 4231? |  |
| Did you see that ludicrous display last night? |

Think more attacking with Gomis at the tip so...
Ayew
Shelvey, Gomis
Routledge
Andre and Wayne more like wingers. Position would suit Montero and Emnes more as subs also. | | | |

Looks a good line up to me,solid where it matters and options and movement up front.
Was always going to be interesting selecting the best team (not necessarily the same as best players..) |  | | |

Tabanou, Gylfi and Montero on for JJS, Routs and Taylor.
Reading stuff from people at the game, sounds like JJS had a good first half. Hopefully all the extra work he's put in over the summer is going to benefit him and us massively. |  |

Thoughts on the match.
Plus points
Shelvey is looking sharp
Tabanou seems promising
Back four and goalkeeper
Negatives
Our tempo was a bit slow at times which you can forgive in a friendly.
Sigurdsson was a bit off colour. Ayew quiet. | |

Deportivo are filthy. 8 or 9 yellow cards in a friendly, including a di canio style push on the ref.
Time wasting from the start. Goalkeepers taking ten minutes to take goal kicks. Their coaching team refusing to throw the ball back when it was our throw in and the ball was in their dugout.
Perfect preparation for the prem season. |  |

Sigurdsson made a difference when he came on. Gomis looked pretty sharp and keen, Jeff was Jeff, Cork has a funny run. Jonjo tried and did some good things but needed to be re-calibrated. It was as dull a friendly as can be imagined. |  |

An enjoyable game with some lovely footie by both sides being played ,just a little shame we couldn't have finished them off ,2-0 they'd have no complaints |  |

I wondered if the slow tempo was deliberate given it's Chelsea away next week. Reminded me very much of Arsenal away last season.
Overall,
Shelvey was good first half.
Ki tidied up a lot of the loose play and got himself forward a few times.
Siggy looked lively.
Montero as usual looked a handful but the final ball was frustrating at times.
Gomis put himself about but Eder looked livelier when he came on.
Tabanou looked promising going forward but difficult to say defensively as they were content to sit behind the ball and look to hit us on the break.
Expected more from Ayew difficult to judge on such a lacklustre team lerformance.
After the Villareal game last year I was worried. This time not worried just a bit underwhelmed. Hopefully they repeat last year's opener and surprise us all [Post edited 1 Aug 2015 20:33]

No repeat of Villarreal, but lots of evident rust. I can see why Deporta are interested in Michu and think they will face another relegation battle this season. Having said that Fab probably pulled off the save of the game.
There were an awful lot of empty seats at the Liberty today - if we aren't careful Huw will think that extension isn't needed. | | | |

Don't know what Deportivo came for. They wasted time almost from the off, because we definitely had the edge in speed and fitness. The ref let them get away with foul after foul, and for as long he was allowing it they carried on doing it. They made little effort to compete fairly. The ref was weak and they took full advantage. We should still have won though, we had enough chances. I know you can't go back to the past but if Bony had been our striker today he would have had a hat trick. | | | |

In fairness their goalkeeper pulled off a couple of decent saves. | | | |

The PA said under 13K. I think that is poor for a team that was 8th in the PL last season. Would have been good back in the Vetch days admittedly. The North was empty as far as I could see and the South not much better. | | | |

Rubbish that's a good crowd and Huw ain't that thick that he'll look at today and judge the extension. | | | |

You dullards don't seem to recognise a tongue-in-cheek remark (re Huw if you can't work it out) when you see one, but I still think our team deserves more support.
I see Sinclair scored a hat-trick for Villa today. [Post edited 1 Aug 2015 21:01]
