Everton vs DC United

I love how nobody is tackling too much because of the heat and the fact it's a friendy and then Johnny just flattens some poor bugger.

He's not managed to score but McAleny has really looked impressive. I'd not heard much about him until recently and I can't understand why -- he looks the business.

Totally agree! He and Barkley are bright spots for the future no? Yummy!

If Beckford's goal against Chelsea last term doesn't bring him confidence, I don't know what would.

Probably couldnt have come at a worse time though, last game of the season. Couldnt build any momentum and hes had the whole summer thinking hes Billy Big Bollocks

Would expect no less from him. I love it. He's a competitor.

For all his flaws sometimes you've just got to admit Heitinga is ace.

Also I think, by watching Everton TV, I'm a good minute behind the rest of you.

He's like the honey badger - he just don't give a sh*t!

I notice we're selectively picking the last 5 years for Arteta and not the 1 goal per season that he got in the two years before that. I have his record as 26 goals in 159 league games for us, so about 1 in 6. Cahill is 54 goals in 194 league games, which works out as a goal every 3.5 games. Ossie is 29 in 218, so 1 in 7.5. Average that out over a season and Tim would score about 11. Mikel would get 6 and Leon would get 5. As I said, Cahill will score as many as the other two combined.

3rd terrific save from Mucha.

 

[Kay20]

Great save Mucha!

Americans: Pontius for the USMNT?

As am I, and I'm on Veetle or whatever.

Mucha is some shot stopper.

Sadly he won't play for us in the league unless Howard gets injured. It's a shame because he's a full international and clearly a quality keeper, so he's wasted on the bench.

GET PONTIUS IN!! he makes me forget about Moutinho, Hazard, Manny and n'zogbia

Edit: Not really, but could be a solid player, as could Brek Shea of FC dallas

 

[Allezfan]

This has got to be good for Mucha, if he stays. He's looked good.

Not too shabby considering the heat and the pre-season v. mid-season fitness. Think everyone expected some fading in the second half.

Another solid stop by Mucha (and another good piece of work by that Pontius).
