Match Thread Everton v Sevilla

[II McColl II]

Good test on the fitness this, Sevilla so much more comfortable on the ball.

Morgs has looked awful at times misplacing simple passes, Klaassen needs to show anything the game just passes him by and when he gets involved there is no end product.

DCL needs to make it stick more but can't really fault the lad so far barely had a decent bit of service in to him all game.

Do like how we are set up though with Sandro playing as a wide forward, always felt this is the way we should be going in to the season if we bring in another attacker just need to get the front 3 in the game more when possible.

Pickford looks good so far can tell the lad is just naturally confident which a GK needs, Keane been excellent aswell.

He's looked like a fat old man trying play football.

Like when your uncle who had trials for Wolves comes to play 5's.

Yeah that's what I was getting at

I'm rufusing to knee jerk in early August about a new signing.
It's getting tough.
Think he maybe crap.

Can I ask what has made you think that?

 

[johnnydawg68]

Klaassen isnt better than either Barkley or Dowell I'm afraid. Hoping to be proved wrong.

correct

 

[Osamabindiesel]

he's been one of our better players here in fairness.

He has improved. Klassen and Davies have been pretty poor today. This is what happens when you put two like-minded players (Rooney/Klassen) in the middle. Klassen looks lost on the pitch.

 

[devogue]

Good touches from Klaasen but he needs to get involved more. Can tell he is a clever player but he is constantly crowded out of his area by his own teamates.

 

[counsillor cox]

Klaassen= Schteven Nayschmith

 

[Toffeemeister]

Pickford and Keane are a hit 100%.

Sandro closing in on them.

Klaassen still meh. Rooney as expected.

Obviously very early days but this is the general feeling for the new signings so far.

 

[fareastblue]

Keane and Pickford are really good. It's been a long while since I have seen such confidence in defence

 

[Sy-]

Pickford and Keane have been class, Sandro, 1 chance 1 goal, sorted.

DLC working hard with nobody bothering to get within 20 yards of him to mount a high press.

Schneiderlin annoying me, playing obvious balls in to marked players, CBs exposed 2 or 3 times right through the middle.

Rooney actually looks better today than he has all pre-season, still doesn't look any good.

Davies having to cover way too much ground because of.... Klaassen, sorry mate, would prefer Naismith based on what I've seen so far.

 

[jonnyboy316]

We don't look like a team.

Positives - Pickford (particularly his kicking), Keane, good finish from Sandro

Negatives - completely outclassed by Banega, Klassen already looks like a dud. He is slow, weak and looks limited technically. Schneids is playing poorly, we don't have a striker that can hold the ball up, we have to sit deep but we have no pace on the break.

I think we still need 4 first team players

 

[Toffeemeister]

Rooney is already not working. I got sucked in by it all, now I feel like I did 6 weeks ago again, not impressed.

I think he should be used as a super sub not a starter for me.

 

[banno]

Exactly. This team would be a top 4 contender, maybe higher considering how they did Liverpool, and we are winning.

Southampton beat them 2-0 the other day
