Match Thread Stade Rennais vs Everton (A) 5.30pm, Saturday 28th July

[Papa Shango]

It matters when no mark teams are carving you apart. Very worrying.

That's a little bit harsh on Rennes...

Blackburn though...

 

[Tin-Tin]

Where does Coleman keep on going missing too?

 

[Ring master]

should be 5 there,either that shot should be better,or past to the right,all to easy as most games are v us

 

[Zezti]

Most of these players shouldn't bother coming back.

 

[TheBlueGibbon]

Should have been 5...

 

[svenboss]

ugh hope we sharpen up in time for the season or its going to be painful again. No class in this team so pedestrian.

..as I keep saying, once you get in behind our midfield there is no power of recovery. Once you get in behind our back four there is no power of recovery. We lack running power, we lack athleticism, we lack lots.

You seem to sweep through with the above the fact that playing through our midfield is an absolute piece of cake, constantly putting pressure on the back four.

Schneiderlin does not mark space, he doesn't smell danger, he doesn't proactively plug service lines. Davies doesn't either but hes a kid.

Along with our legless CBs, one of which is just 25 years of age, we are an absolute piece of cake to create chances against. Unless you go full Sam Allardyce.

I'm just admiring the shirts without the logo and trying my best to ignore the actual football and the angry birds.

Getting Rinsed by Rene Artois (without the Resistance)

 

[Aberblue]

Starting to believe that a lot of these just don't buy into Silva. That or they really are just extremely poor footballers.

Jagielka, Keane, Schneiderlin, Mirallas should be jettisoned immediately. There's a smell of death about them.

We need 2 centre halves a left back a ball carrying CM with pace and depending on Lookman a new winger as well

 

[Professor Toffee]

A high line with slow, awful defenders and a ponderous anchor mam is asking for trouble. They haven't even had to play well to destroy us just sit deep them burn us off on the counter. Big changes needed this week!!!

We need nzonzi

 

[welshtoffee]

The worrying thing is teams will watch the highlights of this match and realise put a pacey midfielder / forward against us and we are knackered.

 

[Mozza1987]

God we are awful. Going to be a long hard season unless we seriously spend some money quick before the transfer window shuts.

 

[EFCccc]

This is shocking. We look awful.
