Was going to say something about Joel having stumps instead of hands but I think everyone else has about covered it.

Good run out that, still missing Coleman/Mirallas/Howard only had 20 mins/Lukaku. Theyre a champions league team, gave us a good go and then Besic went and became an instant hit.

 

[FTY]

Where's the grammar error? Can't see one myself.

[DRINGO]

decent run out. still missing our main source of attack so things a bit boring to watch atm, think porto will be pretty decent this season. done some shrewd business with martins-indi, tello and brahimi.

i'm still not confident with going into the season with hibbert as backup right back.

besic settled in easily, another cult hero in the 17 shirt

I didnt know wether to laugh or cry when he tried taking on a bigger, stronger, faster martins-indi by a simple knock n run move ! he had no chance of gettin there ! complete waste of possesion haha

How did Browning do? On Everton commentary he seemed to be playing as LB and almost got a goal, but I thought he was a right sided CB?

he was utter w*nk tbh, i have great fears about the continual decrease in referee performances in this country. especially after seeing the WC

.....are you saying the quality of refs in the World Cup illustrated how bad ours are?

 

[toffeejack]

it was a boss start

 

[caught]

Not bad considering we're missing Isco and Kagawa.

yeah, he played LB. should have scored in all honesty, didn't put a foot wrong, but didn't really have anything to do

Osman was gash

That skill and pass by besic though in his first minute of football with us. He looked really good, and looks boss in the number 17


Barry was a bit wayward at times

...played LB, did brilliantly just to get on the end of a cross from the right wing for his chance. Didn't have much to do and clearly not his strongest position.

Haha. didn't spot that one. I think Goat doesn't believe in apostrophes or something.

Pretty well considering Porto were so good. He had a decent chance saved. I imagine he was put LB to get him used to that side of defence (replacement for Distin)

they started off slowly and although they weren't brilliant, they didn't get fooled by any of the diving, some of it very obvious, bet your bottom dollar the prem refs will fall for it though, they were doing it all last season and are getting worse year by year
