Ugh. Good chance.

 

[ForeverEverton]

Dobbin FFS

Still no shots on target

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Criminal this isn't it lol

Was thinking of going to Goodison for the Sporting game next Saturday for something to do - think I'd rather just do something else truth be told lol

 

[Tommy Chong]

Young was poor today.

Well, that's what happens when you sign a 38 year old... He's literally at the age when he can tell the younger players: You youngsters. Back in my day...

'Young' is a very ironic name...

 

[Tony’s Carp]

for the love of god

 

[JohnRoss23]

Did DCL ever get a new mattress or seat cushion for his car?

 

[Zatara]

They’ve both been awful though m

Perhaps better playing together?

Patterson left a bit exposed there, 2 on 1 with Guyue stood 8 yards away watching.

Gana shouldnt be on the pitch aside from fitness.

 

[wm02]

Quality ball from Onana

 

[Parker]

The holding midfielder putting the attacking players to shame in one attempt there.

 

[Wat Tyler]

You can see why Dobbin wasn’t getting his game in League One

 

[Encoder]

Feel like Onana has looked a bit more like his old self today.

 

[DownunderToffee]

Me nan would have top binned that sake.

 

[marsh]

How have we been? I've taken an extended break from us so swerved all pre season games

 

[Houghty19]

82 minutes gone

No shots on target

We are playing SToke as if they are Man City or Real Madrid.... Pathetic!

I was just about to type the same thing no shots on target says everything about the game and our performance in particular. I know it's pre-season but this is the time when the performance should be the prime expectation, this game shouldn't be there for reasons of fitness.
