Match Thread Everton v Valencia, Sat, 15.00

Guess it's the BPL tax.

It is basically. Clubs know the PL is awash with cash, so will make silly demands for players.

Lascelles and mina. Do it marcel

Lookman and Digne on for the second half ?

 

[Moham-17]

Barcelona fans reckon he was better defensively mate, but not the great going forward (saying that, we are talking of Barcelona)

I only got to watch him 1 year at Roma, didn’t follow him much after that. But he can score some burners, and I always felt he was able to pass out of the back well.

This was in Serie A 3 years ago though.

What´s your problem?

haha no 'problem' mate. Just thought it was clear as day that Sig was involved- he won the ball back for the Cenk goal for starters.
Each to their own though.
PS you on steroids?

Lookman and Digne on for the second half ?

Pickford and Digne at least hopefully.

Compared to the previous crap we’ve served up this season in friendlies it’s boss mate, as people say though (funnily it’s normally after we’ve just got beat) you can’t take much from a friendly game.

Talking about general style of play we look good. Even defensively it has been better despite the goals. We've been harder to break through but when they did we didn't clear it

a bit feisty this for a pre-season match thread

 

[MACCA75]

Expected this from Pool fans not Everton ones. Sort it out.

Stop patronising us then. We know what we need.

Have to say Leighton grew into the game more and more, If he still had his pace he would be second to none as an attacking fullback. Bring on the DEAN second half though

Me?? I wish I could mate but I'm in Rhodes. Soz and that.

I'm not patronising anyone. Jesus can't I have an opinion?

 

[tadpole]

Pickford and Digne at least hopefully.

I don't think Walcott will be risked for much longer.

So happy I just saw Richarlison play an outside-of-the-boot through ball to Walcott for Everton for some reason.

Also very pleased with Tosun. Some great hold-up play and link-up and you can't argue with a goal like that. Near-complete performance.

Walcott - he's only been a few days back in training
