Everton v Sporting Lisbon - Sat 5th Aug - 3pm KO

[Lob]

Gomes is popular amongst the Sporting fans.

 

[Cels]

Gomes on to add a bit of 'sexy' to the team

Onana had a good game but sloppy in the box there.

 

[Walken]

28 thousand at a friendly after a relegation battle last season, can't knock that

 

[Rita_Poon]

gomes on for onana, seems to be feeling his, erm, cod piece...

 

[heatmeiser]

Maupay playing well

He's actually been really effective. Plenty of good touches and layoffs

Still dump though

 

[sandybrownsbighead]

I'm pretty confident saying Garner, Patterson, Branthwaite and Onana will all be at the very least prem standard players. In terms of folk talking about the squad being stringer or weaker than last season it has to be taken into account that those four are all a year along in their development.

The big lesson from this game is that we must hold on to Branthwaite and Onana

i’m in bulk lol

Bluekipper, Me 'arl fellas shouts.

Onana needed to just launch that, nearly cost us

 

[Martin Alvito]

Gomes on for Doucoure.

On in the Davies role to soak some meaningless minutes. Not a bad plan, if we can't move him.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

We still look dodgy at the back.

 

[Walken]

Onana needed to just launch that, nearly cost us

One of those things you do in a friendly but not in a proper game

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Fan of James Garner me. Takes care of the ball well.

 

[andy4efc]

On in the Davies role to soak some meaningless minutes. Not a bad plan, if we can't move him.

Davies was garbo, Gomes is Garbo so like for like.

Just a much more expensive like or like

 

[Martin Alvito]

We still look dodgy at the back.

Thinking back to the beginning of last season, when we all just knew we would concede if we didn't kill the game, I'll take what I'm seeing by comparison.
