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

...and just like Blackburn on Thursday night, turned off before it's ended.

The last pre-season I remember being this poor was Martinez's second summer when the 2014 World Cup was on. We didn't win a single game that summer despite playing some dross along the way... and we know how that season subsequently panned out

Really not sure what the point of this little trip to France was.

Maybe appointing a manager with defensive acumen wouldn’t have been such a bad idea after all!

Problem isn't the manager. It's the players. No pace and no ability to read the game to make up for that. Schneiderlin, Keane and Jagielka are all not good enough.

 

[Connor]

They not turning up?

The Everton way, innit.

 

[welshtoffee]

Well that just proves how bad we really are, long season ahead.

Bobby, Rhino, Fatty and Gravy...4 managers who couldn't get a tune out of this rabble. Maybe we need to start changing the players instead of getting shot of gaffers.

K'off Everton. Have forgotten what it feels like to win a game of football. Its like Allardyce never left.

 

[RomanReigns]

we look like relegation contenders

 

[Pabbers]

Jesus, im a little worries now.

 

[USABlue]

Alot of these players have been here for 4 managers now, theyre a big part of the problem

This aint a koeman and walsh thing on its own....@davek was right...the cowards stopped playing for Martinez way before them clowns got involved...it seems either we have a big attitude problem at the club or no one really wants to play for the club...after all the shouts of Osman, Cahill, Naismith out...they were the ones who instilled the hard work ethic and actually wanted to play here. This club will become the next Leeds or Qpr if we are not careful....and its the very fans calling for huge names on huge money that have enabled the rot. This club could be full of talent but if the spirit aint there...its nothing but training excersise.
Anyways its saturday night and this is pre season ......

Richarlison looks fuming walking off the pitch, good. Hope silva is equally fuming and goes and signs Digna and 2 CBs and a DCM ASAP

Don't understand the hate for Gueye. The moment he leaves the midfield has holes the size of Williams arse and while his passing isn't the greatest he plays more aggressive and forward balls than Schneiderlin and Davies
