The thing that really eats my balls is that Martinez harps on about possession and how all his players should be good passers, yet he continues to play Naismith who really is awful at passing.

kone though ??? he looks like a brain dead zombie from the crowd who has never seen football before has been asked to make up our 11.
no pace , no movement , no strength, no desire , cant shoot for toffee
terrible terrible player , i wouldnt even say he is championship standard. he should retire.
worrying he is in our team , worrying we havent another better option , worrying martinez rates him even in the slightest.

He got dragged out alright but ball into the box joel needed to either stay in his goal or come out faster in take d goal , seamus n walcott. Did neither!!!

I've been out, not watched a minute but reading the last few pages, people need to realise its a bloody pre season game not the semi final of the champions league.

Hopefully we keep Robles on, I want a good laugh.

Have to agree. We've just seen a very uninspiring Everton forward line come up with very little inspiration. What are we going to do two months into the season when Lukaku gets injured and Miralles loses form ? Please bring in attackers with more skill than Kone and more guile than Naismith.

We really need a creative center mid/ playmaker

Kone naismith and barry off

Lukaku mirallas barkley on

Cant take garbutt or cleverley off now, need to see if they can gell over more than 90 mins in this type of game.

Thank goodness for that.

Kone, Naismith, Garbutt and McCarthy off immediately and leave two in reserve.

So fuming

Again on the goal conceded: Coleman is THERE. He had to get a challenge in on Walcott. Jagielka or Stones would have got across that and blocked it.

Poor by Seamus there. I dont blame Robles at all. His defender had to deal with that.

That required him to be stronger and put a challenge in, Coleman was caught out.

You've not been paying enough attention then.

Did he touch the ball much???

Zatara · July 18, 2015

Kone and Naismith surely have to be sold.

IT'S THE FINAL LAD AND WE'VE BOTTLED IT!

Everyone knows we need a no 10 playmaker, but we need more than that. What if we spend big on a playmaker and then he flops or gets injured?

Also, do Martinez and the backroom staff watch us and think we actually play well? If not, how can they not change it?

People said that about our pre season last year...

Naismith and Kone are about as creative as me trying to think of a good simile for the past ten minutes to describe how uncreative they are

spudmuncher · July 18, 2015

I know it's only pre season... but what is the point of gareth barry.... and that mix up between gerry and naismith, ...keystone cops.... ps, pass the ball please gerry
