Match Thread Everton v Sevilla

hi

...very much doubt Rooney will start if he's carrying a knock. Can see those who didn't start on Thursday making up the bulk of the team.

Is that a new injury?

 

[a bell maul]

I did see that. He's an ex-Etonian so i summarily dismissed his opinion as being impossibly 'let them eat cake' unaware: FFS, who uses that word in a debate.
Sums up the House of 'Commons' (irony alert) to me.

I like these ideas but chances are it won't happen, nor will Rooney be dropped.

Quite right too

..doubtful for the midweek game with a groin strain apparently. I doubt he'd start if that is the case.

We need a 'performance' tomorrow. The 'it's only pre-season' line can't be repeated tomorrow as we are only a week from the season starting. I'm expecting to much better football and cohesion within the team, then what I witnessed in the EL games.

'Yes' 'i' 'agree'

Chance they will play a second string today.

They will still beat us the way we have been playing.

Anyone know how many tickets have been sold for this

I'm hoping for it, but I'm not expecting anything based on what we've seen. Gotta think the lineup for this is what Koeman expects to start against stoke, so hopefully they show well.

Surely Thursday night is what Koeman expects to start against Stoke?

Well mostly.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Think the main takeaway from tomorrow that we need to keep in mind is that a poor performance/result won't necessarily mean that we won't be ready for Stoke. Last two seasons in a row we've been crap in the Goodison friendly only to be much better in the season opener.

 

[toffee-L]

Nolito has joined them hasn't he? He's certainly got previous with us when it comes to pre-season.

I doubt we see the 3-5-2 against Stoke. Think Ron liked the idea of 3cbs against he Slovaks with a 1-0 lead going in.
