For the chaotic window we've had, we still have so much dead wood and they are still taking up squad spots. 

Giving Gilmour, Vale and Anjorin minutes was better than this. When Tuchel decided to trim the squad, they should have let Kennedy, Sarr and Bats go. 

And from tuchel interview, he keep saying
"That decision is difficult (let go some player going back to london) because we have really big group.
Hard to see them not being part of our squad here bla bla" 

And yet, he keep giving a lot of minutes to some player like bat, kenedy who have 0 future in here. 

Sad to see this thing keep happening. What is tuchel actually thinking anyway?

Like previously stated.. Kennedy, Bats, Sarr have no future here.. they need to go ASAP loan/sell whatever just dont want to see them play a competitive match for us.

Vale just won the U19 euros and didnt even get a spot here. Cmon TT

Can only think it is to put them on the shop window, attract offers. But clearly, we would be better off if we didn't give teams footage of how they are playing nowadays

Are there any real games to prepare the team for the season or we are bound to find out how bad this is at Goodison?

Mendy hasn’t gotten near any of the pens only the one in regular time

Mendy is horrible at pens. It's his one major shortcoming as a keeper.

Granted, we should avoid shootouts and concede less penalties, but the fact that he fails at saving any makes me wonder if he does any kind of homework on opposition penalty takers. Of course, I doubt anyone would care about friendly opposition

Is Baba still our player? damn.

Bakayoko, Miazga, Barkley, Kennedy, Bats are on their last year of their contracts right? At least loan them out and pay a portion or none of their salaries.. best we can do.

Lakaka contract till 2026 😭

It's the side effect of changing managers so often. Every new manager wants to see if they can do better with players., and do their own assessment 

Batshuayi came here under Conte and went on to flop., and Tuchel wants to see if he can extract more. It didn't happen last year because Lukaku was enroute. Now he wants to see if the one real striker (besides Broja) could do a job.

Hope Tuchel realizes the truth sooner than later.

TT could very well be thinking like this but he shouldn't be. He has video, all kinds of video, and that should be that.

If that was supposed to promote football in the US, I would not be interested because that was boring AF.

So glad I fell asleep long before the game started but it sounds like I would have soon after kickoff anyway.

Two or three seasons ago we might have said he was shop-windowing some players. Nowadays that can't be the case because everyone knows everything about them. It seems to me more likely that TT is showing these players to the new management. This is only an attempt to put a plausible construction on the facts mind you because management should simply be prepared to take TT's word for things. Maybe they're going with trust but verify.

Too much being made of the Gallagher miss on social media. Nobody cares about a singular moment. But that performance should light a fire under some players.

Didn't see it but your point is spot on.
