Match Thread Everton v Valencia, Sat, 15.00

[zzr45]

Davies has to go on loan this season. Badly off course.

 

[Ring master]

game over,we lose again, 3-2

 

[TheBigIguana]

Calvert Lewin Lookman Davies and Sandro are all clear backups

 

[orly]

Davies so careless

He's just such a relentlessly awful player.

 

[HongKongToffee]

Worrying as Valencia are about 2-3 weeks behind us in pre season.

I can't recall a worse pre season than this.

 

[Kev The Rat]

what a disaster this pre season has been

 

[No8Bally]

Calvert Lewin is about 3 leagues above his actual level.

 

[Jacob]

I hate Stekelenburg so much. Played every second of pre season and hasn’t made one save, not one.

God knows what they saw in him (and how many times have we said that). Hes nothing but a poser...like a tarty berk off Come Dine with Me.

 

[oliverwri]

So, so poor at the end. Our first eleven isn't bad bar the centre halves, but once you get past that it's just shocking.

 

[ProZ]

Tom Davies is tragically bad, don’t thibk he completed a pass since coming on

 

[mkrudden]

v promising first half. poor second

 

[PeregrineT]

I blame Fat Sam for this.......

I thank BFS for showing us Lookmans true attitude. Im sorry, but 4 months under a manager you dont like is no excuse to derail your career because you are a quitter.

Playing top flight football requires strength of character and determination to work hard ALONG with talent. If Lookman doesnt have that, we are better off without him.

 

[DanB90]

I hate to judge players based on pre-season. But Davies looks incapable of making even the simplest of passes.

He looks a million miles from the player who burst onto the scene a couple of seasons ago.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Technically we are miles away from most decent european teams.

These are more than “decent” to be fair... they finished 3pts behind Real Madrid. Granted Madrid didn’t have a great season, but still...

We badly badly need defenders though.

 

[hktoffee]

Some of these back-up are not good enough even as subs.
