Everton Pre-Season (Tours) 2022/23 Thread

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

Marched from pregame meet up to stadium as a group, was lots of fun, Baltimore police were rather befuddled

 

[Kurt.]

The season starts 3 weeks yesterday

They’ll be totally wringing by then ?

Gbamin is the DM we crave but let's see

I would imagine they’ll continue to be throughout the season, again.

The jury is out on tonight’s evidence. Better than most of what we saw last season (not saying much) and better than what we saw in Doucoure, Davies and Dele first half, again not saying much.
Some positive signs from him tonight but also some reluctance still to commit to challenges and he is carrying some upper chest timber. Time will tell but really rooting for the guy. Hope he works out

Greetings from Baltimore. A lot wrong with this team but niels was absolutely horrific. Should never see the field again

Friendly.

Grow up.

So your "friend" happens to share your exact sentiments on doucoure? Is your friend just a sock puppet you wear on your hand and talk to by chance?

The fun part is that I don't care if you believe me and we got stopped by Arsenal fans at the bar later and he again said that 16 looked really bad. He wouldnt know who Doucoure is though.

Anyway my thoughts on the match:

We were awful.
The 3-4-3 (5-4-1) is awful.
Playing like we did in the first half is certain relegation.
The first half was absurdly horrible. Only DCL even looked like he belonged at that level and that's really only because he got so little supply it's hard to say he didn't do well.
Mina needs to relax, he's not good enough to act like everyone else is screwing up.
Pickford is still not nearly as good as everyone wants to make out.
Doucoure sucks.
Warrington is already better.
Iwobi might legitimately be our best player now.
A midfield three of Gbamin, Iwobi and name your third midfielder would probably be enough to not go down.
Gordon is really good, easily the best wide player.
I actually really liked Tarks.
Everyone wearing a number over 50 deserved more time than anyone playing the first half.
We were awful.
Doucoure remains the worst player I've ever seen.

He has not got a classic footballer build. His size is more on the upper body with slimmer legs.

Doucs can forget about a contract extension. A year with a option is about right

Mills, I honestly have never heard of but I liked that he had some snide. He got into them a bit.

Danny Mills son. If that means anything to you ?

Never change

The three at the back is a real concern - he seems totally determined to play it regardless of the players.

Gbamin and Iwobi is a bottom 3 midfield, even if you add prime zidane to it. As at the end of last season, that area needed a complete clear out and new starting 11 players. Sadly still have Gbamin, Iwobi, Allan, Doucourre, Davies, Gomes - any combination of 2 or 3 is horrible. An absolute rag tag bunch that would be nowhere near the starting team of any top ten club.
