Match Thread Everton v Stoke City . Saturday 12/08/2017. 15.00

[Wat Tyler]

Like it's another friendly, we haven't even started here

Rooney was boss last time he played for us. His 13 year sabbatical obviously hasn't done him any favours.

 

[KaiserEFC]

Firmly in control here, just need to be less sloppy

[Poor language removed] sake everton. Its.2:30 in the morning here....give me something

 

[yakublue]

rooney looking decent. smart player - football brain seems to be intact

 

[COYB]

I reckon our net spend will be how many goals we score
all season ffs.

 

[johnnydawg68]

Why is Rooney playing at the halfway line?

Respect mate.

 

[KaiserEFC]

If he's dived, book him surely

 

[BigBlueConk]

The sexy football we are all hopeful for starts in September. After the international break

 

[navidson]

My Chelsea/Palace/Everton treble bet looking inspired

 

[eurosrees]

I wish I knew what Koeman is trying to accomplish. It would make it asker to try and be patient. But I'm struggling to follow his logic on anything at the moment.

It's almost as if he's trying to prove to the board he wants players by boring us to death, I wouldn't give him another penny if this is the team he's built with 100m.

 

[TrixyStevens]

The system is awful, Dutchman needs to change it.

 

[Blue83]

Think Pickford's kicking has been one of the few positives

And the ref hasn't been a bellend there's that too

 

[BigBlueConk]

Pickford is loving it. He would have had to make 12 saves by now at Sland.
