You hope we get tonked? Have a word with yourself will you. :coffee:

Really no excuse for the squad not being ready. He even said Southampton, at this stage last year, were "at 100%" but we are currently "at 70%". What's the reasoning for that? We're going to get absolutely dry bummed on Saturday.

Because they where so unfit under Martinez

Which part mate?

70% fit for the pressing style he's after.

God knows what Martinez' sides were - 40%?

Sorry mate can't agree there.

Pssoibly compounded by having a lot of the players on extended breaks before pre - season, not having anywhere near the new bodies in he wanted, and a pre season schedule that lets face it was a bit of a shambles (organised by the last bloke)

I do suspect we will get beat, however I believe we will play with a lot more aggression than we did under the current Belgium manager. Slightly optimistic despite the missing players.

Grim, he looks unhappy already. The state of the squad must be dire fitness wise!

All of it

Nil Satis Niasse Optimum · August 11, 2016

Well, I guess it's no surprise he only rates the squad as 70% fit when they haven't been able to put in a good 90 minute shift for over 2 years ...

Roberto Martinez absolutely decimated this squad. Long way back still. Appalling manager.

Smodger · August 11, 2016

70% and they were called back to training earlier.

TheAlmightyFloater · August 11, 2016

I reckon Koeman and the coaches should lock all the players in an indoor training area and just wreck them with paintball guns.

The faster you run, the less likely you are to get hit.

Fitness levels would rise quite quickly, I would think.

Wouldn't be Everton if one of our star players was missing for the first game(s) now, would it?

Still cannot believe a top class keeper hasn't been brought in, abysmal that from all involved.

Reckon we'll see an hour of Deulofeu on Saturday and then Kone from the bench. Spurs must be made up.
