Match Thread Stade Rennais vs Everton (A) 5.30pm, Saturday 28th July

I agree, I think hes going to use the last 2 to get his first team experience.

I think for now he will line up:

Pickford
Coleman Holgate Keane Baines
Gana Scheniderlin
Walcott Sig Richarlison
Tosun

And will Walcott be fit ?

And will Walcott be fit ?

Well, thats an if. If he isnt, and if Lookman IS and isnt going for a transfer I suspect he plays instead. If not they probably revert to Sandro again.

 

[Debaser]

Yesterday, Blackburn, was a disaster. Silva needs to start now with what he THINKS is our strongest squad. Have we only got this and one other pre-season game left? And two weeks to offload at least (Sandro, Schneiderlin, Bolasie, Williams) and get in AT LEAST another 4-5 players.

Panic stations. We have a relatively easy start to the season, if we lose and drop a lot of points, we will be in trouble. Again!

 

[Tak]

Pending five new signings it should be the below.

Pickford
Coleman Holgate Jags Baines
Gana Besic??
Walcott Sig Richy
Cenk
.

FTFY

Why do people think with how much they're working them in training that it would be wise to let them play 90 minutes at 100%?

I know I'm only going off Silva saying he's making them work really hard in training but I'm pretty sure this is partly down to Bruno Mendes and the sports science department.

Holgate Walcott Lookman will all have mysterious injuries again. Richarlison will be on the bench or injured. There’ll be absolutely zero to be positive about as some other trash striker bounces our centrebacks around for fun.

Think your right about holgate, Walcott and lookman.
Just seen the squad at the airport and neither of them 3 were there.

No idea what that means.

 

[Berenger]

He's already said he's going to use the two elevens again.

He's already said he's going to use the two elevens again.

Just use the “good” one first then.

 

[ToffeeDevil]

5-0 blowout, methinks

us being blown out that is

 

[TheBigIguana]

Would like to see a true first XI play 60+ minutes here but he's already said it's going to be rotation at half like yesterday

 

[Rugby Toffee]

It ain't looking good , but it will all click into place b4 Wolves wont it?

I can’t name a single Rennes player.

3-0 to them though.
