Everton in pre-season

[Brett Angell Delight]

Haven’t won a single friendly yet. Joke club.

I know injuries can be bad but whos this fella thats lost both his legs?View attachment 132510

Poor Seamus, another horrific leg injury for him to contend with

 

[Thomasc]

Gosh he is so dreamy.

Nah…he’s like a woman you really had the hots for, but upon really getting to know her you then realised she spoke with a severe West Country accent, had about 8 kids already, was a keen vaper and half the village had been through her.

I wish they'd do a full list and photos of everyone who is here...instead of my wasting time on insta and twitter looking for Doucoure, Allan, Gordon, Niels, and then some of the 'interesting ones' like Besic, Kenny...are they still here?

Besic wouldn't be there. Or at least shouldn't.

So exciting to see our brave, brave lionhearts returning to Finch Farm. Has there ever been a more likeable crop of players at Everton?. Yes, they all ooze talent and flair, but it is their steely, determined 'never say die' mentality that their legions of supporters find most endearing and which is the wellspring of their legendary status. In the pantheon of 'Everton club greats', this current squad sits at the very top table.

I am so anticipating the start of the new season, I can barely sleep...

Think they might be doing split days given there’s at least 10 first team not spotted

Covid regs and all that with them coming off holiday

Is it a bit weird that we don't have a friendly for about 3 weeks?

Would expect us to add a game before we go to the states because most teams have far more than 3 organised.

Has Allan returned today?

Do they?

A lot only have 2,3 or 4 organised and many are playing their first friendlies as part of tours or foreign camps. Many early friendlies will be largely U23/Reserve sides being looked at by the first team manager/coach. Apart from the Community Shield I don't think Citeh have even announced one officially.

A couple of weeks doing medical checks and conditioning work and playing the first friendly on tour is nothing unusual - especially when players are away on international duty.

There's probably a lot of fixtures sorted but holding back on announcing pending Covid legislation and rules.

Ah, hadn't seen him pictured but fair play

Concrete Holgate always reminds me of Vinnie Jones: a genuine, 'old-school' enforcer. I just love the way he absolutely intimidates opposition players...

…I’m not sure many would be worried about coming up against him. He’s just very ordinary.
