Muzumbu · August 9, 2014

You can't not say that Hibbert has been absolutely dire in his performances this pre-season. Because he HAS.

Drivel is a good word to describe Hibbert's preseason performance

it describes the whole team.

Really? Graham Stuart was a fan favourite and holds us in good regard too. Just saying!
Still remember him with the new shirt under that tree in the traing ground on the cover of the Everton mag

Aye, I conceded earlier I was probably wrong about this xx

If my hazy memory of high school serves me right, a cloud actually moves quite fast ^^.

I've seen a cloud come towards me and envelope me with its goodness (last week in fact, 1700m up a mountain).

This one moved at a light jogging pace.

Ross off, Osman on.

I hope Besic doesn't get sent off now, as I will be properly fuming at Martinez if he does. Should have been withdrawn surely.

Whoppers bitching about pre-season.

we need gibbo back in midfield, but I don't think he is even in the squad why!

I be amazed if that was true, if we start off poorly and couple that with an international break the next 5-6 weeks could be horendous.

I don't think he's intentionally risking it, but I don't think he's got us at full fitness as he's worried about us burning out too quickly over the course of a long season including europa league, I think he's willing to try risk us scraping by the first 2-3 games before seeing us hit full fitness which could massively backfire playing a hungry promoted side away from home then arsenal/Chelsea.

The defence is shaky in part because of hibbo imo, remember the defence against arsenal with robles in goal? I think their is concern amongst the CB's/barry that he's going to get done by pace which is happening so were not playing with as much freedom as we do with coleman there, although the team at large look jaded.

Did I miss him getting a booking?

Besic needs to do more than just rein his game in, he needs to quit trying these hollywood passes. He has connected on one to McGeady and the rest have lost us possession on the only counters we have had.

He's missed a few but most have hit. I think the reason he's been play them is because there's no movement as Ross wasn't dropping into the hole to get the ball and they where just flooding the center.
