SC Paderborn 9th August

[No8Bally]

At least we are tanking India in the test - they are currently 61 for 5 in their second innings.

I think I will feel the wrath of people here but as good as Baines is going forward he is not a very good defender.

 

[Scotty1983]

Today has been another p-poor showing. All its doing is showing to everyone that without a good striker up front we are terrible. If Lukaku gets injured and we dont have a good back-up striker then we are gonna struggle. Also a bit concerned that Lukaku and Mirallas arent even playing. How the hell can you go into the first game of the season without even playing any pre-season games. Im slighlty confused by it all

You think we are a striker away from being a decent side? Even with the likes of McGeady and Hibbo starting next week? Another striker would be nice but the lack of creativity and static defending are more of a concern to me.

 

[dholliday]

Maintaining our place among the Big 7 will be a huge ask at this rate...

 

[when i score we riot]

How many goals have we scored this pre-season?
Long's goal and the Naismith slot after Porto's fluke? And then Geads' goal against Vigo.

Got a funny feeling the cult worship of martinez will take a bit of a hit this season.

Love the guy but we are massive off pace and I feel he has messed it up. And for Stuart trying to dress everything up for his paymaster Kenwright "paderborn" are not a good European side last year we were playing the likes of juventus and real Madrid and looked better than this and we were in transition then!

 

[deipnosophist]

Difficult to choose Everton's man of the match today ...my choice goes to any squad member who didn't play lol

 

[toffeejack]

we looked a lot fitter in the second half. was a shame we weren't allowed to show what we could do in the final 3rd because they seemed to just tug us back every time, teams can't do that to us in a real match.

result means nothing, mcgeady starts vs leicester for me, lets hope coleman will be fit.

 

[daz4matty]

Its a disgrace lad

Do they not realise what's at stake here, There playing like its some meaningless kick about

I demand answers

Its not good lad.
Might only be a friendly what are they gaining dont even look fit.
Going to be hard gettin out of this sloppy football for next week.

 

[davek]

Correct, like I say there is still a chance we could all be happy, but if no money is spent then you sig is still a question that needs answering, Jelavic, Felli and Anichebe all gone and where is the money we made out of those deal compared to what we brought in

They spent nothing of the tv cash. Not one red cent. Billy Liar all week on SSN taking the slaps on the back off the media sycophants.

That feller's been taking the piss for 15 years and he's set to do it some more.

 

[banno]

I am looking for positives from that game..........can someone help me?

 

[Eggs]

This defeat is deffo Bill's fault.

..I appreciate we need a good start but its more about the season than Leicester. We've brought a few in but you can't play lads who are not up to pace. I think the opening game will be Naismith up front and a back-up RB. I wonder how much the starting X1 will differ from the one that finishes the season. It will be a real battle next week.

 

[oxydog6]

Very very concerning pre season lukaku no minutes mitrallas no minutes. Signs of a long long season

It's not looking good on this evidence.

I'll reserve judgement until the proper stuff starts.

We go again.
