Everton Pre-Season (Tours) 2022/23 Thread

[Parker]

No? Have to be honest I thought we were a terrible watch.

No real sense that the players can play that formation and highlighted that we have a pretty dreadful squad of players lacking quality.

Good to see tarkowski bringing his snideness over to us and Warrington looks like he can pass the ball semi effectively which is more than can be said of the rest of our midfield.

I don't think you should look too hard into the formation, it makes the most sense to use the formation to give the players game time due to how the squad is composed atm. Patterson and Nkounkou starting are wingbacks and we have 6 centre halves out there. It's purely a fitness thing for the most part.

 

[kiss the crest]

Nothing going forward, we need to sign quality

 

[nsno-chris]

Sorry, completely forgot. Silly me…

Staying on his feet, got the ball, player tripped over his leg…. But it was a tackle. Poor kid

literally nothing wrong with it, it was a great tackle

I thought the stream I was watching was lagging but it was only Rondon

He’s still warming up on mine.

Nkounkou looked hopeless. Good at sprinting but looked terrible at football. I hope he can work on the mental and technical side of his game...

Tarkowski looks captain material...Always talking and telling people where to be etc.

Regret not going to bed 2hrs ago

Me too and I live in the U.S

Him and Keane fit right in next to echo other. Very encouraging

So on tonight’s showing:

1) Three at the back needs binning
2) As does two in central midfield
3) Rondon, Holgate, Davies top the list of players who need moving on asap
4) Tarkowski is exactly what we’ve been crying out for at the back
5) Desperately need attacking reinforcements

Exactly… Arse reaction for him booked. Wish Tarks just floored one of them (preferably the ref)

1st run out, but looked exactly the same as the last time we played these in the PL. They bitched us without getting out of 1st gear, they should have had many more 1st half, if they`d kept that team on it would have been double figures.

Alot on here will pass it off as "only pre season" or "only 1st game", what I saw is exactly the deficencies from last season, EXACTLY.

The 5-2-3 is an horrendous formation, truly horrendous, doesn`t keep clean sheets and isn`t conducive to creating anything of note.

Only positives is some of the youngsters looked hungry for it and looked OK but the game was long since won.

Need to bin this formation off or Frank could be the 1st manager sacked this season......

 

[Anthony’s at the wheel]

That second half was a lot better

Mills seemed energetic which is always a positive

Tarks deserve the armband what a guy

Keane is just Keane lol

Welch’s legs were absolutely everywhere

Myko proving why he deserves to be one of the first names on the team sheet

I’ve saved this for ages but Warrington is gonna be a top player

JP seemed ok but nothing special

Anthony may look like a melt but he’s our best player by Miles

The wobinator was decent, he seemed everywhere in the first 20 mins

And finally that big slab of meat up top, future golden boot I can already see it

 

[blulouie]

I like Tarkowski even more seeing him play for us.
Stay fit Big Yerald thats one boss partnership.

 

[Goat]

Not gonna get carried away, I knew we needed some creativity before the game and that view hasnt changed.

 

[Miked1e]

Nkounkou looked hopeless. Good at sprinting but looked terrible at football. I hope he can work on the mental and technical side of his game...

Apparently someone said he was better than Myko…. Can’t remember the thread or poster.
