...Stoke have done ok at Goodison in recent times and for some reason I am pessimistic about our chances tomorrow. I'm normally pessimistic but I'm not seeing anything in pre-season that makes me look forward to watching us play.

Hoping Keane and Pickford can keep us in it.

We'll obviously win due to me being abroad and way way too hungover to work out what time I should be tuning in for this.

COYB

8-0 Everton.

...hoping so, Matey. I'm dreadful when it comes to my team. I just want to see us play with real flair and create chances, even against the best and even away from home. My son is on holiday, he's just sent me a bet to put on which includes wins for Everton and Watford so at least he's positive.

We have to win, simple as that because we have tough run of fixtures after this game.

 

[Abraders]

Need to get a win tomorrow Everton, ash em bluesh

Since 1968 you've won 5, drawn 4, and been beat 19 times?

Since we've been in the prem ?

Whats happening with that Imbula fella? Looked decent the couple of time i seen him

Decent player on his day but off the field he's been slated by former players. Was told he can't be arsed learn the languag,lazy in training and not really got on with the squad. It's a shame really because he's got the talent for sure.

Stoke make it difficult for any team they play against. They are well organised and need creativity to break them down, sadly that hasn't been the case throughout the pre-season as you alluded to. Nevertheless with our run of fixtures, it's a game we need to win.
