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

[Rollo Tomassi]

absolutely sick of the sight of that pathetic collection of useless donkeys making the same mistakes game after game and still getting picked regardless

 

[LEONARD]

Please choose from the following options.

(1) It's a pre-season friendly, so no worries.

(2) We are f****d,.........PANIC!!!!!!!!!!!

Pathetic comment

I’ll take that as a compliment from someone waisting a Saturday evening fuming and winging about a preseason game.

It’s preseason ffs. Get a life.

Woeful again except for Coleman and Richarlison. 3 of those goals Jagielka or Keane could have dived in with a block but for some reason they do the running then when they get there they decide not to throw a foot in.

Not getting a tune out of this lot as they've been on the decline for years and along with piss poor recruitment thats a pretty poor side we have.

Need some centre backs, left back and 2 midfielders

Emailed my dad yesterday stating we only had a squad with 6 players good enough for the Premiership,
meaning we only need 10 or 11 more to have a squad!

Nearly everything at our club is not good enough.

 

[Everton_Gary]

we look like relegation contenders

Anything is possible with this lot

 

[blueconverse]

How are we so [Poor language removed]. Baffling

 

[d4kyxx]

A massively aging side full of misfits. Not only are we shipping goals alarmingly we are struggling to find the net game in game out

A huge exodus of players is needed and time is running out.

 

[streeky]

Problem isn't the manager. It's the players. No pace and no ability to read the game to make up for that. Schneiderlin, Keane and Jagielka are all not good enough.

No your wrong mate, that's suicide football there. 4 players up field the whole game , no midfield because their stuck upfront, no cover for the cb's. Look at jags face in that game. they have been hung out to dry.

 

[Tak]

Bobby, Rhino, Fatty and Gravy...4 managers who couldn't get a tune out of this rabble. Maybe we need to start changing the players instead of getting shot of gaffers.

The players do remain the unchanged constant (mostly)...

Come on BK get us some CBs, CMs and a LB

We fans have known this for a couple of years, what are the people running the club doing?

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.

..no, I actually said you get behind our midfield four there is no power of recovery. Exactly as you say, the opposition sweep past our midfield and then do exactly the same to the back four.

Silva sets his team out to be more expansive. Allardyce sets his team out not to lose. Problem is we do not create, so when the opposition break we are totally exposed. It’s a major concern.

 

[Buckers]

Keane for me is the biggest disappointment of all the silly signings from last year. He is devoid of any passion and energy. If there is anyone that needs to be sold it’s him. Only thing is we will have to take a massive loss again. I’ve always really liked Jags especially as a professional and an individual, but he is certainly past it now, time to show him the door.

Richie Larson though looks like the best signing we have made in years. Just need another 8 for the first team now.

 

[N.S.N.O.]

If Jags and Keane had a 100m race, I reckon we'd have Mina & Digne signed and announced before the race is over...
