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

[Eggs]

He's also a reason we frustrate so badly and waste so many good counters mate

….100%, he’s dreadful in possession and I get the impression he frustrates Dyche as well.

It’s always been more about what Doucoure does without the ball than with it (despite his goals contributing 20 points last season).

 

[Milkman]

Last fifteen was much better then the first hour which was dreadful.

Nah, that was a strong 2nd half. It wasn’t even a particularly bad first, it was just limited in the ways we all know this team to be.

Thing is mate you just can't have in that position a guy that bad on the ball.

We hadn’t troubled their keeper until the equaliser mate. You’re basically saying it yourself that we are limited, what’s good about that?

 

[Blue Smoke]

Because we have gana, garner, tim and armstrong for the 2 defensive slots with dacoure and ndiaye fighting the attacking no.10

 

[blueboy72]

I count four wrongs in that sentence mate!

Good going!

What is he on more than 100k

People will take 17th and 30% possession every week, playing the worst football in the league, while hailing dyche a miracle worker

Even in the brief time he was on the pitch, you can tell Harrison Armstrong is a talent. Big, strong, technically good. Definitely one to watch.

 

[Clarky cat]

That was the last ever first team friendly and we haven’t tried to win. Dyche out

Let’s not go there mate , we are talking about todays game

Harrison btw immediately looked far more comfortable when switched over to his best position on the left. Let’s not try and shoehorn players in to positions where they’re not particularly effective just because they can “do a job” there.

 

[SLAVEN BILIC]

Wasn’t a great outing but did well against a very good team. DCL took his goal very well, Ndiaye was lovely when he came on. Harrison looked better when shunted to the right wing, Doucoure needs firing to the sun. Man of the match for me was Ireogbunam, very solid performance I thought.

Hope we’ve found one here

 

[Joey66]

I thought Beto looked decent enough today.

V Smalling... he did OK

 

[Blast_of_Cannock]

Not this again. Branthwaite was injured at the season's start, as soon as he was fit he displaced Keane and remained in the team all season.

Shush! Doesn't fit the narrative..
