Match Thread Everton v West Ham. Wed 30th July. 23.30

[Cels]

It wasn't a great game for us, but I'm pretty confident it will be alright on the night come the start of the season. Also, I thought Harrison Armstrong looked decent enough out there.

I know it pre season but why do Everton performances regardless of players or manager look the same for the last 10 years!

It’s weird

 

[Richard Alex]

It was a good chance to get rid of some dross.
By god we still have it in bucket loads!!

Especially with no squad worthy of the name

Lack of funding over the past 5 years. The net spend is ridiculous compared with other premier league clubs.

 

[Oddson]

gonna be a lot of negative opinions to this comment, but I’m gonna call it now: Gana’s legs have gone, WONT be the same player this season

Gonna take time to reverse the mess of the Moshiri era.

Need our heads checking staying up to watch that gang of wasters

1.5 bottles of wine and even now I feel like I need something stronger to numb this feeling

Flip side of the coin is had Pickford, Branthwaite and Tarkowski played then we keep a clean sheet so despite the utter dross football played it would have been a draw at worst.

Pickford
O’Brien Tarkowski Branthwaite Mykolenko
McNeil Gana Garner Ndiaye
Alcaraz
Beto

This team and formation probably gets you 10th, we haven’t seen it yet. There’s very little behind it however and should be improved this summer.

[Davideeyore]

Let’s hope none of our potential signings stayed up to watch that

I think we need MIB flashy thing

 

[Haydn]

Pushing for Europe, is going to be a hard sell, to any potential incoming transfer.

One good thing about being out there for this and looking so bad...if the Friedkins have any pride, they will want to improve this! Imagine the scene at the Friedkin Houston ranch:
"Hey neighbors, you guys wanna come over and watch my new toy? I bought ANOTHER soccer team- this one will be da shizzle! Come on over, I got popcorn, pretzels and Bud light...it's gonna be AWESOME!"

In all seriousness with every defeat and poor performance the pressure to get players in is put more and more on the toes of TFG.

Your new ground and bright new era counts for nothing if your in another relegation battle.

Can’t paper over the cracks now. This is a poor squad, with no speed, minimal attacking ability and two strikers who are at best ‘raw’…not even including Chermiti!

Fair point. Kept him on the cheap. Will probably play bit part role in some games.

 

[James Patrick]

That was a Dyche performance, had hallmarks of his final game against Bournemouth, lazy hoofball with no plan B, amateurish, sheet that was, goodnight Blues

He's gone it's nothing to do with him.

His legs look fine thus far. His passing is horse poo.
