Everton vs Roma - Saturday 10th Aug - 5pm KO

[Ufotone]

Very reasonable second half....

Great finish DCL

New signings look a good attacking threat

 

[Norwegian Cow]

Woah! A fifa dribble

 

[trueblue84]

Better with Ndiaye and Lindstrom on Doucoure and McNeil off.

Doucoure has scored some important goals for us, but he doesn’t half stifle any forward momentum we have

Doucoure can't even manage simple short pass. It's like he's got 2 club feet.

 

[Blue Smoke]

Made the subs that i was calling for and we looked so much more dangerous

 

[jerseytoffee]

Liked the look of Iroegbunam and Armstrong

 

[bluestevon]

Thinking we might not need another central midfielder mate, thought Tim was great today.

Aye he looks really good mate so far, still think we are one starting quality short though, Doucoure needs binning off leaving us only Tim, garner (injured) and Gueye (old)

 

[Vortexgaz]

Think only Tim will start mate.

It’s dyche he definitely won’t start

 

[Milkman]

Decent showing that, I don't feel the usual crushing dread for the new season. Well not yet anyway.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Can't Doucoure get a Saudi gig? we looked better in the second half. Thought all the new lads did well. Lindstrom over every set piece and Ndiaye is the new Duncan McKenzie

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Tiny Tim and Armstrong looked solid too.

 

[dixiesdisciple]

Got better as we went on. Doucore needs to be impact/panic sub at best.
Some strange decisions by Dyche, would have put Harrison left and Ndiaye in the 10. Good showing from Beto and DCL tbf.

 

[Eggs]

….decent and competitive for a friendly. TI impressed as did a couple of the subs. My stream froze just as DCL cut inside and I said to Mrs Eggs, ‘this is a chance’ feeling certain he’d put it in the far corner. Stream came back on, 1-1 and the replay showed him putting it inside near post. Ah well.

Wouldn’t get too hung up on Doucoure at this point, despite the frustration he was vital to the team maintaining it’s top flight status and it’ll transition if the likes of Ndiaye forces his way in.

 

[Joey66]

1-1 a fair result DCL showed his class....we need to replace him but who with ?

 

[Neiler]

Aye he looks really good mate so far, still think we are one starting quality short though, Doucoure needs binning off leaving us only Tim, garner (injured) and Gueye (old)

We won’t agree on the Duke mate, big fan.

 

[Vortexgaz]

Decent showing that, I don't feel the usual crushing dread for the new season. Well not yet anyway.

Am sorry but I do dyche will start with the same team as today but somehow he will manage to bin of Tim off and over the next 6 months will leave Lindstrom and Ndiaye on the bench until they won’t want to be here

Hard season ahead

Different manager I would be looking forward to the season
