Everton Pre-Season (Tours) 2022/23 Thread

[Kurt.]

Anyway my thoughts on the match:

We were awful.
The 3-4-3 (5-4-1) is awful.
Playing like we did in the first half is certain relegation.
The first half was absurdly horrible. Only DCL even looked like he belonged at that level and that's really only because he got so little supply it's hard to say he didn't do well.
Mina needs to relax, he's not good enough to act like everyone else is screwing up.
Pickford is still not nearly as good as everyone wants to make out.
Doucoure sucks.
Warrington is already better.
Iwobi might legitimately be our best player now.
A midfield three of Gbamin, Iwobi and name your third midfielder would probably be enough to not go down.
Gordon is really good, easily the best wide player.
I actually really liked Tarks.
Everyone wearing a number over 50 deserved more time than anyone playing the first half.
We were awful.
Doucoure remains the worst player I've ever seen.

Stick to stickball or girly rugby .. whatever it is that makes you world champions in your own country

Gave up after the 2nd goal. Seeing all this talk of formations. Play as many different formations as you want.
Just to many average players.
Midfield still wants to make me scream. Holgate and godfrey just lump it.
Nkounkou is still very raw. Got roasted about 4 times.
Hope the 2nd half was better. I went to bed.

I never look too much into pre season games. See United hammering Liverpool 4-0.

Arsenal are a top 4/5 side who have added loads of players. We are still waiting to bring lads in.

1st game, we lost to a set peice, and frankly a flukey 2nd goal.

I dont see us being competitive with Arsenal this season, so losing in that way, is not a disaster.

Sounds like Gbamin and Warrington did well as well which is a big plus. Hopefully can add 2 or 3 more players.

Here is a list of players who didn't play. Barring Townsend I don't know who else is injured. We'll maybe we'll see these during the next game.

Allan
Asmir Begovic
Nathan Broadhead
Seamus Coleman
Lewis Dobbin
Andre Gomes
Zan-Luk Leban
Isaac Price
Ellis Simms
Andros Townsend (rehab)

Second half was a lot better, Tarkowski better than all the other defenders put together the young kids Mills and Warrington looked like they have decent potential, hate the formation though,hopefully he just sticking with it till he gets a decent DM in?

 

[gonetomorrow]

Everton win 3-1.

The first of a new season of hopeless predictions.

Sorry mate, you're going to receive 10 warning points for this post as it contains far too many objective views underpinned by common sense and rational thought.

If you start spouting some knee-jerk reactions within ten minutes, I may suspend the points for six months.

Gbamin done absolutely nothing at all. Barely broke into a jog. Warrington looked better than him, Davies and Doucoure put together.

1. It;s a pre season friendly, we played 2 seperate 11s

2. What do you actually get out of supporting Everton?

I'm just going of comments mate.

I didnt see the game. Some people said he was ok.

 

[longers]

Didn't even realise we were playing, let alone against Arsenal. Whats with this trend of playing good opponents in pre season ? Can we not go back to snotting Austrian minows 22-0 instead ?

The argument is more than 2 or 3 signings will help. We are close to full strength, but havent brought many players in. Also it was our 1st game.

Honestly Catcher, people saying he was ok is more out of relief that his head didn't roll off or his leg flying out of the stadium after doing a pass.

He done absolutely nothing of note. No pressing, no tackling, no running with the ball, no running off the ball, absolutely nothing.

Fair enough mate!

If theres one thing you can count on from Evertonians, it's a wide range of views!
