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.

Because Tosun missed a couple of chances? He scored 5 in 11 starts last season when we were abysmal going forward. The center backs were terrible the entirety of last year and are still terrible

FIGHT

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.

That's the thing I don't get...

Tonight has been a complete an utter waste of time. Nothing has been learned and we've reverted to type. Very concerning imo.

Well that was a waste of time. At least Richarlison looks a player

 

[kev101]

Shall we stop pretending we don't need a first choice striker now?

 

[RomanReigns]

well that was awful

 

[buededw1]

How he aint skipper is beyond me

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

We need to stop pretending that Keane Schneiderlin and Gueye are ok players.

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"

 

[irishtony1878]

Do we really need to see more Vlasic at this point

No, he is as bad as Williams

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Utter waste of an evening. Just awful on all levels.

Feck off Everton, had enough of you last season tbh.

We need a CB, LB, CM and ST

 

[uknightbreed]

there is a team in there , trouble is there is too many duds weighing them down .
id say at least 10 players need there marching orders.
I think the biggest travesty so far is the players we still have here over the lack of signings in.

 

[banno]

Looks like our season is dependant on Walcott, Pickford, Richarlison and maybe Coleman. Need another 7 decent players for the 1st team alone. Looks like Lookman is on his way out. Seriously, I cannot understand why we haven't been playing our so called 1st team players together more often unless Silva really doesn't know who the best players are yet.

 

[Berenger]

Jags should be embarrassed by the third goal, despite all the bobbles. He didn't even attempt to use his strength.

I think the need for a new defence so we don't concede three against Blackburn is more of a priority, like.

Who was the Premier league team? Dack made us look like a gang of sniffers. This group of players (besides Seamus) have no heart.
