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

[PeregrineT]

those nightmare games have happened, he’s just not as high profile a player in a not as high profile team

love him but he needs to retire

He literally can't. Who's going to play RB if he retires? The clubs refusal to sign fullbacks has forced his hand because of his love for the club.

 

[maccavennie]

Young at RB? Looks like Dyche is trying something new.

Perfect time to give Dixon a start.....nah I'll stick Young in to ensure I've got a player older than tutankhamen in defence

 

[LEONARD]

Can Dele play pre season games - without a contract.

He's not actually an Everton player.

We are just giving him free medical and gym membership until he signs a contract elsewhere.

Depending on your point of view, we are being nice or just mugs.

 

[Victus]

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

because he hasn't ever been ready so why are we persisting with the charity case.

Define persisting.

 

[Amokachi1995]

When is Branthwaite due back? Hope O'Brien gets the second half.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Good to see Tarkowski and Mykolenko back in the team. Iroegbunam and Lindstrom getting starts too.

 

[bluestevon]

No Branthwaite mind.

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

Well it's clear they'll want to ship out Maupay, and Beto too I'd guess ahead of DCL

 

[Victus]

Define persisting.

You know exactly what I mean.

 

[DualityNSNO]

Our midfield options are concerning.

They would be if the plan was to play through midfield.

 

[Nymzee]

You know exactly what I mean.

He's unemployed, we might be offering him a new deal, he's not fit to play any games yet. Not sure why it's on your mind. He hasn't played for us in 2 years.

 

[LostLegend]

Interested to see the Iroegbunam + Gueye midfield partnership today.

 

[Goat]

Gentle reminder.

It doesnt matter if we win and it doesnt matter if we lose or draw, this game is totally meaningless and is a glorified training session for players to get a decent run out.

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

Slightly concerned at this point the plan is for Keane to play vs brighton

 

[Nymzee]

I'm not sure many are concerned about the result of these games.
