Everton vs Preston - Sat 3rd August - KO 3pm

Coleman not in squad? Injured too?!

So who’s still missing?

Pickford
Branthwaite
Garner

Better team that past games, but so many kids on the bench, we still wafer thin..

No doucoure, hopefully the sheikhs made a £50m offer this morning

 

[oglop44]

Coleman had a fella land on his knee in the last game so wouldn't be surprised if that's the reason he's missing today.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Don't see the Duke there either.

I'm going to choose to believe Doucs is on a plane to Saudi to complete a 15m move.

 

[bluestevon]

Lindstrom starts.

I presume at 10.

Looks like it, great to see Tarkowski, Gueye and Mykolenko also.

O'Brien on the bench as well, but good God anyone who doesn't think we need another CM is mental.

Here's hoping, even a small fee combined with those huge wages would give us some additional room to operate.

 

[bluestevon]

Our midfield options are concerning.

Alarmingly light there aren't we.

 

[Dougie]

Number of injuries in pre season is a concern. The was reports that dyche did gather day twice last week for some reason. Now last season we was one of the best teams for injuries, so if true why has he changed it this pre season. Players looked knackered after 20 mins and to many stupid injuries occurring.

No Branthwaite mind.

Dont know what we are doing playing DCL TBH, unless we think hes signing.

 

[bluestevon]

Tarkowski starting
Some had him as that badly injured we had to bring in Big Jake.

Yeah hoping the Garner rumours are a similar thing and it's only a minor thing

 

[Victus]

So Dele not getting on the bench in pre season, honestly why even bother with him at this point.

Dyche said he's not ready yet? Why were you expecting to see him?

 

[Neiler]

Can Dele play pre season games - without a contract.

 

[Nymzee]

Yes. Same way you have trialists listed.

Why not hes not costing us anything anymore.
