France v Paraguay bring played in 37c.

It’s mental that he managed to chip the goalie and then do that. Just tap it into the empty net…

Takes ability to miss like that!

Ramadani also on the move, a €1m move to Turkey. Not sure what our sell on fee was but someone on X suggesting 10%.

Interesting comments from Robinson post-match. Said it's likely to be 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2 this season. Was a few times I actually thought we drifted into a 4-4-2 today. Mouloua's season finished three weeks ago and he'll be available next week, but he expects it to be a while before he can handle Scottish football so I don't think he'll be starting many games at the beginning of the season. Knoester back in 3-4 weeks, but Tobers and Gyamfi are 6-7 weeks away.

2-0 for Morocco. Canada caught throwing everything forward.

My main concern with Olusanya wasn't the miss, because we know his finishing is pish already. It was that he was generally really poor anyway; was out paced and lost possession a lot. Maybe his confidence was gone after his miss, many he was just up against some very good players. But he didn't provide the bustling bullying of defenders we thought he was capable of. But, he shouldn't be playing as a striker in a front three. He should either be part of a front two or on the right.

Can you have a miss of the season, before the season starts?

As long as he is away, who cares.

That was really clever bit of play.

That's a well worked set piece to put Morocco ahead

Nothing each at half time. My money is still on Morocco, but then you know what they say about a fool and his money

Development team beat Invergordon 9-1 today but cannot find details of the team.

Morocco look really flat. Wonder how much the Neatherlands game took out of them. Injury to Saibari not helping Morocco’s cause.

Thought Morocco would rip the Canadians a new one, but quarter of the game gone and although it is still nothing each, it is the Canadians that are completely bossing this so far

They won't be shelling out money for Milanovic, we will likely just not be paying anymore of the fee agreed for him, as doubt it was all paid upfront. I'd also imagine, we will also have to subsidise his wages back home, as he rightly won't want to lose out financially when moving back.

It's how we don't progress. We knew what we were getting, yet still sanction the signing. I'd say it surpassed the Chris Iwelumo miss for Scotland, many years ago. Thankfully it was a nothing game, but we will see more bad finishing, from him, during the course of the season.

That Olusanya miss is truly spectacular. Defies the laws of physics that. Yoganes face summed it up beautifully. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!!

My attitude, work rate and ability to miss open goals would all be first class but would we not be better with someone that can play football?

That’s the ongoing argument though, isn’t it? Yes, missing an open goal isn’t improving us but in other parts of the game does his work rate and pace improve us? I’d argue that in certain situations, yes it does. Not as our main man or a starter, but there’s a role for him to play.

Just seen the Olusanya miss. Didn't think he could possibly have a worse miss than the Livi one last season, but he surpassed that today. We just shouldn't sign such poor football players, who we all know just won't improve us.

Looked like Marshall played on the right when he came on. We could definitely do with someone new over that side. I've still got concerns about both full back positions as well. Malloy is fine defensively on the left but doesn't offer much going forward and Frame looked pretty rusty when he came on. I think the right back area is stronger than the left but can still get better.

You’re asking the wrong person to apologize. I didn’t sign yengi, Ambrose, lazetic etc.

We looked tidy enough and in the first half defended well for the main. Not as solid in the second half and TC Twente passed up a few chances. Thought Yogane looked okay in the first half and Bilalovic was good too in his cameo. That's two left sided players though, yet we're lacking on the other wing (Keskinen played there first half, couldn't see who was there second half but we offered very little down that side). Was surprised Olusanya didn't play on the right, although we had no other striker on the bench. Two friendlies to come plus four very winnable League Cup games. I'd expect we'll have gone up a level by the time the Hearts game is upon us.

Agreed. I think we can also say that 433 is the formation we are going with this season and it looks to be solid enough so far. Twente are a decent enough test at this stage of pre season and I'm certainly not disheartened after that. We certainly seem to be pressing much better than we have seen in a long time. With the league Cup on the horizon hopefully we will start to click going forward and that will springboard us into the league campaign nicely. We also have Mouloua to come into the squad and that will also change the dynamic of our attack.
