DCL coming through another 45 minutes was a positive as well. Looked sharp in that first half and a cracking pen.

Good workout against a Champions League quality team.

Bring on Fulham

 

[Saint Domingo]

Classic that we might be starting the season without Tarkowski Danjuma and McNeil. Just classic Everton.

Really good to keep a clean sheet. That's going to be the foundation we build upon all season. We look so poor on the ball at times, but I understand why Dyche's priority is to make us as strong defensively first.

 

[maccavennie]

Young has to start v Fulham

100% he will. He's miles and miles ahead of Mykolenko.

 

[Victus]

Need to hear those sweet gravely words from Dyche that tarks is ok.

 

[davids]

100% he will. He's miles and miles ahead of Mykolenko.

As soon as Mykolenko came on he was caught out of position, literally seconds.

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

A win against a good opposition that were taking it seriously. Could have scored more but so could they. Reassuring that we were pretty fluid after Dom went off instead of looking clueless. To be fair to Maupay his wandering deep and taking ball in to feet seemed to actually get him in the right places.

Would have liked to have seen a clear main formation and obvious first eleven. The mere inclusion of Godfrey means that wasn’t it.

Not sure about Tarks. Looks like a coming together but he may have had his studs planted. Fingers crossed.

Well that rounds off a poor pre season same issues nothings changed another relegation scrap begins next weekend. Maupay useless Iwobi not much better, Players lack any composure or creativity in the final 3rd really poor. Stick your stadium where the sun doesn’t shine if that’s what we will be watching in it at the expense of not strengthening the squad.

Build from the back for me, always in the points if you don't concede.

We’re on the March

We let in 3 in 6 games, with 4 clean sheets, plus 4 wins and 2 draws from 6 pre season

Need to hear those sweet gravely words from Dyche that tarks is ok.

Looked like a knock when he walked off (gingerly) ,but then remember when they got Bolasie to try to run off an ACL.

 

[blueblue]

Good performance in a decent game.

Hope Tarkoswki is alright.

I hate to give spoilers but prepare for ‘we’re monitoring the situation’ ‘we’ll have a better look after the scans’ ‘he’s a tough cookie is Tarks’
