Everton v Espanyol

[navidson]

Anyone know the odds for an Everton relegation?

Might be worth a tenner.

33/1

Was bill or moshiri there

Nah, they're too busy signing Mata and Witsel for the 19th time this summer.

Nope. At home reading all the hate mail.

Aye, seriously. We often see a new manager immediately improve things on the pitch...the fabled honeymoon effect. When it doesn't happen it means there's something more fundamentally wrong with the team.

Agree that Williams would give us some much-needed attitude.

If that church mouse Jagielka is here another season and captain we can write this one off now.

Williams is essential. Just pay Swansea what they want and get him in....and then hand him the armband.

Can anyone take one positive from this pre-season?

Koeman seeing through the McCarthy delusion. Deulofeu looking sharp giving us another option upfront. Stekelenburg looking better than Howard. Defence looking better than it was under Martinez.

Martinez left the football equivalent of a car crash. A lop sided squad with no comprehension of the defensive aspects of the game. It will take time for him to make something great. He's got so much to fix bit by bit.

Our fans are also being entitled asses. You don't boo off you team in preseason. I don't blame players for not choosing us. It is not a good environment for the players.

No Dave. NO.

He's 32 years of age. Don't be silly.

"Best Everton squad since the 80s" 0 - 1 Some half arsed Spanish outfit.

I think we need a major rethink on those claims.

Aye Bobby has left Koeman with a dogs dinner to sort out.

 

[streeky]

Struggle to see how that performance has changed from el fraudo. 1st 2 passes always backwards or sideways ,so the oppo Are set defensively. Best get used to seeing Everton 0 next season.

I've heard koeman is seen like a character of borat at finch farm . And he can't wait to bail once training has finished he's even off before the players

 

[Joey66]

cheers lads...normally don't take much stock out of friendlies but still would've been nice to have played really well in one just before it all kicks off.


Stek over Joel?

One good save - never came for one cross, dived far too early for the pen - not much difference between them imo!

 

[dholliday]

To be fair to Koeman he inherited a squad that was coming off a massively disappointing season, and you can tell the morale of the team is still not ideal

if only we had signed a few new players to ignite some fresh energy and competition into the squad...

We've got him for £12m.

They've both signed for new clubs recently, haven't they?
