AUSTRIA VIENNA Vs EVERTON 14th JULY 2013 KO 16:00 GMT

[Norwegian Cow]

junior has been decent.


best evertonplayer: Robles.

 

[SteKelly]

They all need to sharpen up.

 

[ijjysmith]

Joel's distribution is loose.

It's been fine bar one kick.

 

[Norwegian Cow]

I like Oviedo. If it wasnt for Baines he would have gotten alot of games for us.

 

[bflefc]

I feel like punching Greame Sharp every time he says DEFINATELY.

Not as bad as Chris Waddle saying "pelanty".

 

[DualityNSNO]

They'll do better in competitive games. It's just the 1st game of preseason and that's more about fitness than result.

Over time he could be baines's replacement not good enough yet but has ability no doubt and still youngish

 

[Eggs]

Duffy isn't very good in this game.

...I know its pre-season but I hope this stops the clamour to give him a 'run of games'. As I posted earlier on another thread, imagine giving him a run against the likes of Benticke or RVP, folk would soon be complaining.

Agreed. Would have been nice if a youngster had stood out more (in a positive sense) but all-in-all a fair enough performance for first pre-season. No worries from me yet. Duffy is young ... all this proves is he isn't ready yet (which most of us knew) but every top defender has had games like that when they were young. Hell Heitinga still has them.

 

[Norwegian Cow]

Dont care if we lost tbh. win would be nice, but its all about fitness and test the youngsters. boring game, but exciting to see all our youngsters and Robles.

Not at all worried about the result, but some of the defending and defensive organisation looked worryingly Wigan-esque...

Hopefully it's just a function of having quite a few missing.

 

[billycopper]

It's been fine bar one kick.

He punted one that we just kept in on the touchline and gave a bobbly one to Duffy which he did well to save from being a throw in near the corner flag.

 

[steele]

FT. Duffy crap. Don't think we'll ever see Hibbert going past a player, always playing backwards. Howard will have a hard time getting Robles behind him. Gibson had a decent game, same had Baines and Pienaar. None of the youngsters took their chances, but I must say Grant did look promising, always wanting the ball.

 

[Christiffa25]

Duffy isn't very good in this game.

That's because Duffy isn't very good mate. Well not good enough for a top 6 side anyway!

Makes a change from 'not for me'.
