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

[PITA]

It's going to be a long season.

 

[deipnosophist]

Pickford'll be handing a transfer request in as I speak

 

[Professor Toffee]

Players don't seem to want to play for any manager

 

[charlie atkins]

Great substitutions. Davies is the next rodwell

 

[zzr45]

Silva is starting these to push through his demands for new centre backs.

 

[Eggs]

We actually deserve Allardyce, he is the level of the utter dross we have playing for our excuse of a team.

..he inherited this lot. Not sure why he gets a mention.

 

[Parker]

Not even arsed id accept 5 mil for Keane. Absolute garbage. Need at LEAST 3 centre halves. Ridiculous we haven't seen at least 1 in.

 

[buededw1]

I don't normally look into pre-season games too much, but for the first time in years, i'm worried about this Everton team.

The core is really weak centre halfs and centre mids.

 

[toffeejack]

I'm glad this is happening now, gives Silva no illusion that we need pace in defence.

 

[Blues Harp]

But where are all the goals promised as an attacking force....make no mistake we have been had again.....No plan A or B...

 

[blue61]

If we don't seriously carve up this defence, the immediate future is grim.

 

[Everton_Gary]

Serious questions and concerns with this team. Might need Sam back come January.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

That Salaki by far and away MOM out there today.

 

[BigBlueConk]

Is this the game all the optimists were looking forward to?
The game where they can stop telling everybody voicing their worries that they are knee jerking?

 

[captainvindaloo]

Just put this on to see some unknown (to me) team rip us apart and score their third goal. Hmmmmm...
