It was free to watch at 3 o clock,and that’s still too much to pay for this.

A couple of players will make a massive change to this team. There is noone in the team who can get on the ball and make something happen. Maybe mcneil but not enough to do it to help us consistently at premier league level.

Not sure why danjuma is up top. Didn't even realise he was a striker? Its a balance issue and it needs to be addressed and fast because we have 2 weeks.

We are more than a couple of players away, I think. Danjuma is being set up to fail here. A couple of weeks like this and he will be getting all kinds of abuse for not scoring when he was brought in to assist our shiny new CF from the wing

Add no creativity, movement or threat

Pretty much like last year

People say Garner for CM. I just dont buy it.

Garner right back, Patterson midfield?

Playing against teams like Stoke, Bolton etc. make our squad quality and the deficiencies of Dyche stick out like a sore thumb.

I don't really know what we do in training. No idea and no patterns of play

Commentators raving over him, I don’t see it at all.

We do a lot of short passing drills, and then ignore them and bypass the midfield in games.

This 1000%

'We're doomed, doomed'. Glad I'm not watching.

But, hey, it's a pre-season game and more about getting fit!

 

[Terrarian]

I need a cup of tea, look what you have done to me Everton

 

[Efcjake]

The tactics look like a continuation of last year's "work hard and get a foot in".

The three midfielders can't play an incisive pass between them and we've got nothing happening through the middle of the pitch beyond getting it wide and praying.
