Unfortunately I was at work but nice to visit this thread to find everyone still discussing the merits of Sopcast.
I thought I was in the wrong thread after reading form page one!
Wasn't much of a good game. At one opoint I thought I was going to nod off (or is that just me getting old....
)
I suppose the positives of the game was the score line and a good run out for the players to regain more fitness.
I think Babel looks like he's a little lost at times. Understandable, because he's not long back from the under 21 championships, then shortly after he was on his way to us. Hopefully he'll find his feet soon. Benayoun looks like he's fitting in more, probably due to his experience. Was interesting to see how they swapped over either wing.
El Zhar looked impressive in the second half. Lots of running and willing to go forward with the ball. Torres probably didn't have as much of an impact as he did against Werder Bremen, but he was trying to get into the mix and wanted the ball.
It's hard to think of anything really impressive to be fair because Auxerre were playing quite deep and tight at the back. Added with some rustiness on our passing and levels of fitness, it made for a stale game. Was only a friendly though.
