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

[Blues Harp]

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

The guy should have realised 10 months ago when he left Watford not 2 feckin' weeks before the first game....appalling

 

[daza_1973]

Two weeks to get a tune out of this lot.....

 

[BigBlueConk]

Allardyce knew how bad this lot were and that is why we ended up with the football we did.

This is what we were watching before gravy man showed up.
But some have short memories.

 

[toffeejack]

Snides I think would be ok if we had pacey centre backs, but he clearly can't play with these two because he can't be arsed to do their backtracking.

 

[JJK]

Diabolical. Wolves will tear this side to shreds.

 

[evertonarntwe]

I went out at 2-1 what's happening then who needs booing for their 3rd and 4th

Conceded 7 against Blackburn and rennes isn't good like

 

[mkrudden]

I'm with everyone on the defence but can we just make an honourable mention of Morgan Schneiderlin?

Absolutely terrible. Can't believe he's going to be out dictating centre midfielder. Garbage.

 

[Garymc2412]

Someone ring allerdyce and say sorry we made a mistake come and save us again haha.we just miles off with this squad.

 

[ADT]

At least it’s not like the last pre season where the teams we were playing were so crap we couldn’t see the problems. This is so obvious there has to be a response

 

[TheBigIguana]

And/or can defend/play football.

We are quite bad

Nah mate literally just need a defender who can run


Not that we are playing well but a defender that can run and it's maybe 2-1

 

[Eggs]

..as I keep saying, once you get in behind our midfield there is no power of recovery. Once you get in behind our back four there is no power of recovery. We lack running power, we lack athleticism, we lack lots.

 

[jrj]

Sack the defence

 

[Blue83]

We seem to be getting progressively worse, Marco has a lot of work to do

 

[Kal El]

I know it’s only pre season but this is actually pathetic

 

[Bluenosebilly]

Baines better get on the TRT because Digne has just Turned the plane around.
