Coventry City v Everton, Tues 30th July, 7.45pm

[Cjplennon]

The season starts in just over 2 weeks, that’s too late. His Gaffer day is just a smokescreen for his lack of ability to devise tactical strategy. Dinosaur.

God, wetting the bed already amd the season hast even started. Negative!!

 

[Bkk Andy]

I only saw the highlights but our finishing was appalling. How did we get so many players who can't even threaten a goal?

 

[T LEAFE]

The good thing about not getting relegated is we don't have to play Coventry again this coming season.

Every cloud eh.

But next season unless they get promoted

I’ve lost count of how many bad pre-seasons we’ve had through the years.

Correct, it's a results game. My forecasts for our first game now as follows, tell me why I am wrong:
Brighton (H): 0-2
Tottenham (A): 3-0
Bournemouth (H): 1-1
Aston Villa (A): 3-1

 

[Charles Plastusz]

I can't be the only one that's genuinely not that arsed?

We'll be alright. It's Everton, after all.

I'm more concerned that we haven't been able to give minutes to loads of first XI players yet..

This all day long, watch the glamour friendlies in the states etc, to call them walking pace would be understating the relaxed nature of them. Pre season is done in blocks, we’re in the heavy stage of ours, Coventry are weeks ahead, it’s really not at all complicated

 

[The Binman]

Believe or not that's what he said in the post match after Salford. There for you to listen ro. These pre season games NEVER mirror reality on the first day of the PL season so I never know why anyone puts any weight on the scorelines.

Still find it nuts he would actually say that. But hey, what do i know, im not even yoir average armchair supporter these days


Maybe stannah lift supporter might cut it

You have us scoring 4 in our first 4 games.. come now, tone down the optimism eh?!?

And we're not getting done 3 nowt at the spuds either..

 

[Carlito]

I think the issue in pre-season is that playing the way we do in competitive games would be akin to a top-level defensive boxer covering up for 12 rounds against an amateur.

We're not a footballing team. It looks stilted and awkward when we're obliged to act like one.

Home team scores shown first

 

[cjuk87]

That group of players barely broke a sweat in a lot of league games, why on earth do any of you think they'd do so in a friendly?

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Like going out on a first date with a nice but not gorgeous girl when your 16, date doesn't go great and there's no snogging or anything else, you realise you don't like her personality much either so hey ho lessons learned but no real harm done.
No-one got injured, we had an ok time playing footy and thats about it.
