Match Thread Blackburn 1-0 Everton. Sat July 19th 3pm.

….i think our record from corners was amongst the best last season when McNeil played.

Tarkowski is our main threat from corners too so him missing won't help. Teams need to account for him when he plays.

 

[NeilMorepies]

Must be the feed I’m watching… he looks like a midget on the telly.

Put a couple of big books under your Laptop, it should make him look a lot taller.

any reason why Braiden Graham hasnt been in the squads?

He was in Tuesday's

 

[Eggs]

Aye, I said last season if he's starting RB next season I'm fine with it as long as we have a good attacking LB.

….the issue is if Tarkowski isn’t fit to start the season.

 

[Davideeyore]

1.91m. Pickford is 1.85m.

English please

He will be. He's already back in training.

 

[Donegal blue]

Been saying this for ages cos I’m football clever. O’Brien is the best fullback at the club by a mile.

Of course he is, and to think dyche wouldn't play him, tells you everything you need to know.

 

[Papa Shango]

I miss trialists. Like proper obscure ones rocking up for one game before never hearing about them again.

 

[bullybeef]

Everything ok mate?

Apart from a few external haemorrhoids I’m absolutely banging thanks my mate

 

[GrandOldTeam]

I'm not being hyperbolic when I say Harrison Armstrong is probably our best player

*Waits for @Kevsleftpeg

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Aye, I said last season if he's starting RB next season I'm fine with it as long as we have a good attacking LB.

I don’t mind him being RB as long as we buy another CB to start or at least provide competition. Having JOB as starting RB and first reserve CB is a bit poo, like.

 

[Papa Shango]

Of course he is, and to think dyche wouldn't play him, tells you everything you need to know.

All it really tells us is our right backs are crap.

Are we seeing the Everton cycle that is old as time itself?

1. Lose pre season games but “it doesn’t matter because it’s all about fitness”
2. Struggle to fill known gaps in the team but “it doesn’t matter because the window is open until 1st September”
3. Recruit a few last minute sticking plasters on loan
4. Start the season slowly and spend the next 6 months looking down rather than up

Some people paid a tenner for this and the Accy game.
