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

[Dooguk]

Going to be difficult to get rid of some of these players. Nobody in their right mind would want them.

 

[Bob Latchford]

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

That’s a relief.
So long as we’re only getting beat by the odd goal rather than 3 or 4.

Our back line and ability to defend is dreadful

 

[PeregrineT]

Look, just like before, there are several players who are so bad, they are making the rest of the team look worse. With average players in place of Keane, Jagielka, and Schniederlin, Rennes would have scored 0 goals. Replace those 3, plus with Digne coming in, and even as average as the likes of Siggy have been the team is fine.

 

[NCLBlue]

Anyone who isn’t concerned is a madman/woman to be honest...

I expected the likes of Williams, Bolasie, Baines, Jags and half the squad would be gone within weeks of the season ending.

And Gueye is nothing like Kante. He’s woeful. Hate the lot of them.

 

[Mozza1987]

We need 2 centre halves a left back a ball carrying CM with pace and depending on Lookman a new winger as well

And a forward. The whole team is a mess basically.

 

[Hangleton]

Can’t watch anymore. It’s sickening.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

We've increasingly regressed as this pre-season has gone on.... pretty sure that's not how it's supposed to work.

 

[Number_25]

I'm by no means a bed wetter, but we look really poor and I'm growing increasingly concerned about the up and coming season.

 

[Papa Shango]

Why do we keep getting the ball and then run towards our own goal?

It's a rhetorical question like but it does my head in.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Holglate obviously has to start...

 

[Professor Toffee]

Jagielka, Keane, Schneiderlin, Mirallas should be jettisoned immediately. There's a smell of death about them.

Keane , schneiderlin and Mirallas should not be on the pitch in an Everton shirt, ever again

 

[daza_1973]

Getting Rinsed by Rene Artois (without the Resistance)

Are you a loon??

 

[deipnosophist]

Starting to believe that a lot of these just don't buy into Silva. That or they really are just extremely poor footballers.

Bit of both imo. Silva might have to watch his back

 

[BigBlueConk]

All our midfield combinations are worse than the Neville/Rodwell axis from the glory days.
I know, hard to believe.

 

[Aqui1a]

I've just got on and it's 4-1 Bit worrying, init.
