Match Thread Blackburn Rovers v Everton Thursday, 26th July 19:45 KO

[ART]

Will Sam be called for again in November?

 

[TippEverton]

Steve Walsh and Ronald Koeman, pair of weapons.

Marcel Brands and Marco Silva, get a wriggle on lads, stuff to do.

 

[ToffeeTim]

2 footer ignored.

Twatkinson

 

[Berenger]

Most annoying bit is that there is again no clear plan. Against Porto and Lille you could see what they were trying. I can't figure out what they are trying to do here.

 

[SixtyGrand]

No creativity in midfield and without Walcott we are toothless.

Said it before Tosun IS NOT good enough to lead the line.

 

[BornBlue76]

After saying we dont need a CB until we have a striker to complement Tosun I went with group thought that a CB was priority after 2 pre seasons games. Now its clear again we dont have enough up front. But replacing both with quality players is going to be tough but I'm not sure we can wait. Unless our new boy is the next Mbappe.

Going on the Blackburn season highlights this

 

[Stutheblue]

Jags, Williams and Baines yes, but Keane needs to be tried without the various undead alongside him.

Perhaps. But we need to get them signed pronto. Undead? Like it!
The thought of Jags and/or Williams starting in our first 3 or 4 league games is making me feel ill.

 

[Papa Shango]

Jags, Williams and Baines yes, but Keane needs to be tried without the various undead alongside him.

Keane wouldn't get in this Blackburn side. An utter liability.

He looks like a typical Blackburn defender actually.

 

[Groucho]

Only if you bring a big bag of wine gums!

deal

 

[Kal El]

Don't think its that bad. They are playing like its a cup final. We are a bit lazy. More concerned with how weak (strength-wise) our defence is.

Mina, Digne and two new centre mids an a striker and I think we'll be ok.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Too early to boo?

 

[Tony1985]

Second half hasn't been that bad. Tosun hits the net with those headers and no one is worried

The second half has been woeful, this is basically our first team an a league one standard team are comfortable.

 

[deipnosophist]

I’m in New Zealand and I can guarantee you we don’t say for mine unless you’re about to steal something...

For a minute I thought I had been saying it wrong lol. Sent a quick txt to my mate Kent Johns (presently on Radio Sport Breakfast) ...he also calls league sideline from Mt Smart...I can confirm the expression is "for mine"

 

[ADT]

All will be forgiven if we sign who we need to.

If we don’t we’re going down

 

[DanEFC92]

I'd kill for an Osman right now!

Would fly into this team.

 

[dublinbluenose]

Jags is an embarrassment of a captain there, up to Seamus to lash the ref out for not giving a free there

 

[kev101]

Do we really need to see more Vlasic at this point

I've never seen so much as a spark in him. We all want our players to succeed but if it aint working we need to cut them loose and fast.
