Tranmere Rovers v Everton. 22nd July, KO 7:45pm.

So that's that. Oviedo should move into midfield and Garbutt becomes second LB.

 

[Roztitute]

Kennedy looks meh. Lundstram getting into it a bit now. Garbutt is decent, wizard of a left foot

Baines must be mentoring him, hope he teaches him everything he knows

 

[Deco]

Oviedo could easily play on the wings for us - then play Garbutt in the cup games and our Baines in the Prem

 

[Iron Mike]

Joel doesn't do it for me. Barry's just had to tell him to come for the ball and he was unsure before. He has no commanding presence

 

[SimonB]

More chance of Oviedo playing midfield. Roberto did suggest that Garbutt would be a first teamer this season.

Yeah I think he'll use Oviedo as one of the three behind the striker. He likes to rotate so the more players in that position the better.

Hope to see Garbutt cut his teeth in the Europa against weaker teams, then get a bit of Premier League experience under his belt toward the end of the season.

Aren't you at the game mate?

 

[ncblue]

Barry has had a quiet half.

Possibly. Oviedo will take a while to get back to anything like full fitness too. Nasty injury that

I struggle to see how with Baines at left back, not as good as him.

Not having these Baines at DM shouts either with McCarthy Barry Gibson already in those position.

Agree that Oviedo could play left wing though! Quite fancy him there!

How are people watching besides being there?

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Kennedy not getting on the ball often enough. He's looked lively and willing to take his man on whenever he gets it but most of our play has been going through Garbutt & Pienaar on the left.

Say what you like about Pienaar but his link up play has always made others look even better/better than they were. He made sure Baines got noticed and aided Osman's career no end with his selfless play.

 

[Ring master]

Looks like team talk is getting done on pitch,watching roberto taking naismith through what he wants etc

Booby will give him a chance, so if he takes it well who knows, could give baines a kick up the ass

 

[mythbuster]

Again, really impressed with the young lads. We have a talented group here.

Yes, they have promise, but it's worth remembering that there's a big big difference between looking good at a League 2 side, and being good enough to perform against City and Chelsea etc.
