Well I watched that and sorry to say that our defence is dire. Better off playing Keane as a support striker, he is definitely better in that role than a central defender. Coleman and Digne had to work their socks off. Also just what do these Managers see in Schneiderlin. All in all the two new recruits are top notch, in fact I would say that all the play in front of Schneiderlin is/ was good. We either need to let Gueye play on his own in front of the back four and load the midfield in front of him or find a partner he can work with and sorry Schneiderlin nothing personal mate but just not up to it.

We weren't rubbish. Central defence needs an overhaul and schneids needs replacing, but that has been the case for the last 12 months.
Going forward we are far more productive.
We will get there lads.

I hope you are right Smit666. We certainly have been signing better forwards. but where are the "needed" defenders? Soon I hope.

I watched the game and sure some glaringly obvious issues at the back. We are very easy to turn around.
However going forward we look alright. Even Baines I thought was better than most of what I've read about him tonight. Sure he made a few errors but offensively he got a lot of balls in the box.

Think we will see 3 more signings and hopefully 2 are CBs. Jags is gone. Baines is good cover for this season but ultimately his time is also over. I think Pickford saves 2.of their 3 goals too.

So yeah, 2 CBs and 1 more attacking player. I watched Silva going mad at our mistakes, Martinez just stood there clapping. I have a feeling their comparisons are going to be short lived.
