Why are you on an Everton forum if you don't want to discuss your opinions on Everton?

Liverpool would have been cut to ribbons by a team like Villarreal...they cannot handle movement in front of that defence and they refuse to screen the back four.

Just woke up. How were we? Can I hazard a guess that Naisy and Arouna were phenomenal?

I will find you and consensually bum you
Booing was sporadic and in the massive minority. I was actually surprised by how good his reception was to be honest.
What a bellend.
Highlight of the match? Other than the big man coming on it had to be the cheers for the Villareal subs bizarre warm up routine on the touchline (and their subsequent applause back to the crowd).
We desperately need a playmaker and backup striker like.

Come on mate use your loaf, their is no way Martinez is going to get sacked this side of Christmas, if Kenwright had any doubts about Martinez the end of last season would have been the time to pull the trigger not after a poor pre season and 3-4 league losses.

What are next weeks lottery numbers mate?
Surely Shelvey would have made a difference today, right?
I agree with Dave here, in fairness. I'm happy with this pre-season. The results today or yesterday don't concern me (yesterday we played with a load of youngsters). What I am worried about is the same-old same-old from Martinez. We look sharp at the start of games but once teams cut us off a few times we seem to run out of ideas. However, when we're direct as we were later in the game we looked dangerous again. It's all about the right balance, I just hope Martinez isn't too stubborn to realise this.
Now's the time to bring in our key signings, as well. We've brought in some decent options in Cleverley and Del, but neither of those are going to drastically change the way we play while still sticking to the brand of football, if that makes sense.
I'll give us two weeks to make a signing - preferably a creative midfielder to fill the Pienaar-sized void in our first-choice XI. A striker next and then a back-up CB who can really compete with Jags and (fingers-crossed) Stones. A new keeper would be lovely but unfortunately we're stuck with the Chuckle Brothers for the time-being I think.
