Big Dunc testimonial - EFC vs Villareal at Goodison, Sun Aug 2nd

[FTY]

Legend my arse.

The word you're looking for is notorious. Big difference.

You're a tit sometimes Dave.

I am anxious to hear the status of Stones and Mirallas at this point.

Every team next weekend will likely start with a full strength lineup. Every team bar Everton. Some things never change.

Honestly this stuff gets very tiring.

Not much has changed at Everton has it? There is being nervous as you do before every Everton game is one thing, but add to that genuine concern before a ball has been kicked in the new season is something completely different.

Worried here, won't lie. Injuries to key players, same key players being linked to other clubs, struggling to score and create, inability to identify weaknesses in the squad and strengthen in the transfer market.

He got him in as a safety signing when he first got the job. I think he knows the bloke is done, but can't get rid of him so might as well play him.

I think he'll look to sign a creative midfielder and another attacker. Probably debating on getting a centre half in too if he doesn't think Galloway or Browning can cut it yet.

I think he'll also get McAleny involved more too

I think if there's one big positive in pre-season. Kone hasn't offered any false hope.

Martinez needs to sign another striker and a good one.

Ha Ha. A tit for stating the blindingly obvious that Ferguson was miles from being a legend?

Wayne Clarke did more for Everton.

 

[Anna]

Today is all about the big man.

Let's save all the fume for this time next week when Watford have just ripped us apart!

 

[BlueToff]

Despite there being loud cheers and his name cheered?

I'm sure I watch different games to some people.

I must've been tuned into the Chico stream as well then.

Also, he was our best player.

Anyone who doesnt class him as a legend needs to give their head a wobble

An iconic number 9 who wore his heart on his sleeve for us an iconic player, when times were bad, never a legend, a major icon fans favourite imo loved him coming on today lifted the game, looked better than anything else upfront today!

Needs to do it as quick as possible. Can't stomach Kone up front any longer mate. Plus centre half pronto too. Need to stop conceding at corners.

 

[Titus Bramble]

We were the better team until Mirallas went off, he was very lively and was threatening. Second half, especially with McCarthy going off we lost it a bit, but Rooney and Dunc coming on got the crowd going and we grew back into it.

Not half as worrying as some are making out. The boss has said Lukaku will be fit and Mirallas and Stones must have been taken off as a precaution. Cleverly is impressing me and a sharp Baines is proper boss.

There's still a month of the transfer window left. Chill your collective beans.

I miss neg rep.

The match thread attracts weirdos just saying STUFF either driven by a strange self agenda or trying to be mega critics.

Bizarre like.

 

[Joey66]

Like the look of this new fella Ferguson could be a real player

Get him on the books we may need him Doug!

 

[Azzurri]

I agree with Dave here to be fair.

A cult hero? Yes. A proper blue? Yes. A legend? Not for me.
