Homepage Article Everton V Roma. Sat Aug 9th. 3pm

[NeilMorepies]

13/14 season mate.

We had genuine pace and threat all over the park (aside from Barry). McCarthy was an absolute machine, Barkley too. Lukaku Mirallas Pienaar/Deulofeu up top. Baines and Coleman, Jags and Distin/Stones.

That’s the level we need to get back to, with a better manager this time. When you have that type of pace all over the parl You can take the game to opponents like we did in the Goodison derby (which should have been about 8-3 to us against a very good Liverpool team). Barkley running the pitch against Newcastle away, Lukaku bearing down on the Arsenal defence.

That’s what pace and power combined with technique gets you. Teams fear to press you so stand off you and then you control the game. We’ve been the opposite for too long, so slow that teams aren’t worried about pressing high so we can’t keep the ball and we back off them.

Yes.. it was amazing how much we improved once we sacked Moyes.

12/13 we were very good too

we played some really good football, a lot more direct, but still a good attacking side. didnt have the same quality though up top that RM brought in and gave opportunities too

martinez really got the team firing the next year and was able to let players like Barkley, Coleman and Geri express themselves, some really astute signings too

I can see this being an entertaining game, but one we will lose.

Villa were like this with Roma the other night...

Which one is Villa?

 

[Roger Milla]

Ah right. £7.99 is a rip off.

I wonder how soon after the final whistle that'll be made available to members/non-members as extended highlights?

It's only little more than the price of a pint

 

[Roger Milla]

Legends game will be shown on Everton's YT channel

Macca's grown some hair hasn't he

 

[davek]

Absolute shame about McCarthy.

He put in one of the best series of individual performances in that debut 2013/14 season.

Is that Bracewell far left?

 

[WilliamBoo]

mostly baldies. It's Dyche coaching?

 

[bobbylatch]

Probably been asked a million times before, but where are people parking for this? I
mpossible to park by stadium. Seriously, thinking of walking from town.
OK for tomorrow but wouldn't fancy it on a cold and wet Winters night.
