Seems like we were crap again then. People can say it was a pre season game all they want but it sets the tone for what is to come. Especially when it seems nothing as changed from the previous year.
I watched the game against Bury the other night and it did nothing but reinforce in my mind what a horrible job Silva has on his hands.
Who caught your eye tonight then mate? Out of those that played?
I mean lets look at them :
Sandro - Was loaned out last season, has been given a chance and hasnt taken it
Klaassen - Kissed the bench for most of last season, has been given a chance and hasnt taken it
Dowell - Was loaned out last, has been given a chance and hasnt taken it
Mirallas - Was loaned out last season, has looked bright at times, is on biggish money and you would think we have other players ahead of him
Besic - Was loaned out last season, has been quite impressive for me
Connolly - Was loaned out last season, certainly hasnt looked out of place
Vlasic - Has looked very poor for me
So for me Sandro, Mirallas and Klaassen should be moved on, none of them appear to have anything to offer us at all.
The others considering their age should probably be loaned out and be scouted to see if they can kick on next season with regular games.
I would of course keep Besic as a squad option.
No angst. Just stating where we stand so far.
From watching the game the below players need to shipped out
Sandro, Klassen, Stekelenburg, besic, Williams and mirallas
Keep vlasic, Kenny, Holgate and Davies as back up
Then would loan out Robinson (if we sign a left back), Connolly and Pennington
I know it’s early and only preseason but am worried that it’s going to be the same next season unless we sign some players
He seems to actually be able to pass a ball, cross a ball, take a set piece as well as player can in the squad. And he is quick. Attributes which a good player needs. Seems shot for confidence, which can miraculously return at any random stage.

Plus given his enormous wage, he is as difficult as anyone to move on. So if a choice needs to be made between keeping Bolasie, Mirallas and Sandro - he has the biggest upside and has age on his side.
Last season, he was extremely poor whenever he played. I mean, utterly terrible. He made Mirallas look like Ronaldo.
