Reserving judgement until I see how we come out tomorrow. My guess is that we would only get 60 minutes of playing time for first teamers tomorrow even if it wasn't a testimonial. If it is the true First team for 60 minutes at a high tempo before Rooney, Duncan come on than I can see the set-up today.

If we come out with a really disjointed group then I would agree. I know Barkley and McCarthy are starting. But perhaps that is because we needed SOMEONE from the first team in the squad and Martinez wanted to see if Barkley would dictate the game and if James would control the Defensive Mid - sans Berry. I don't see Naismith being a starter and perhaps this is the final analysis for Martinez, if Naismith and Kone can do anything. If we go and get a striker this week or before the deadline I think it is a direct result of Martinez realizing that Kone is not coming back to what he was. He has been injury free for 6 months now with a full pre-season. No more excuses - He may just be Crocked permanently.

Ferguson, it sounds to me, will start! He's already said he'll play for as long as he can, and that suggests from minute one.

Rooney will start also. He'll be there to HT I\d imagine.

Unfathomable this. A dogs breakfast final weekend which takes the shine off a decent pre-season.

Ross Barkley needs to add snide to his game or he is not going to make it.

Joel clean sheet though hey??

Not been happy with him on crosses, do our goalkeeping coaches I still our keepers to stay on the line like Tim?

 

[ijjysmith]

Kone off.

Business has picked up.

 

[uknightbreed]

id take anichebe and chris long with the potential to grow and improve , over the certainty that kone and naismith are terrible and wont get any better.

its a joke that a manager who preaches about the club needing to get back to winning cups titles and play in europe still has them in the squad.
kone disgraces the honour and the history of the everton number 9 shirt.

Mccarthy took that little tackle in 1st half as well,stayed down for a min

Its the only thing thats stopped me slitting my wrists.

Unbelievable. There is only so much you can take of Kone upfront.

 

[Tin-Tin]

McCarthy off, hope that challenge towards the end of the 1st half isnt the reason.

Ferguson said yesterday he'll only play 5/10 minutes towards the end.

Nah they're both bloody awful mate.

I'd say we easily have he worst keeper pairing in the whole league. Maybe anyway.
