Match Thread Accrington Stanley 1-1 Everton [Pre-Season 2025/26] - Tues 15th July 2025 - 7.45pm KO



Few players going 90 minutes, unusual in the first game. (Keane, Iroegbunam, Tyrer, Patterson, McNeil)

Moyes was obviously moving Armstrong around - he was left midfield, 10 and then defensive midfield in the second half. Had a decent game.

McNeil and Garner are experienced PL players - would have liked to see more interest from them in the first half (like Keane for example). McNeil showed more when he was moved central for a bit in the second half.

I would move McNeil on if we are ever lucky to receive a decent offer. For every moment of decent finishing or a bit of good play, he is a non entity most of the time.
 
Re Patterson, he wasn't bad but he wasn't good either. Don't like his habit of slowing down attacks by stopping and then playing a safe pass back to a central defender. Mykolenko had too much of that in the earlier days. Probably an SPL level player.
