Match Thread FC Twente vs Everton (Wednesday 19th July) 6pm

[Toffe3m4n]

Absolute walk in the park in the second half. Looked like an attack vs defense exercise. Expected Twente to be better than that.

Nothing much to say really apart from the fact that we've got some really boss footballers.

anyone else happy to let these kids prove themselves this season as appose to spunking a shed load more cash on players?

Loads of us actually.

When is McCarthy going to Newcastle?!

Absolutely gash lol lol

 

[orly]

Rooney showed he is here to take it properly seriously - but he didn't like a few of the snidey challenges and that was a big dive in at the end. Klaassen and him look like they will play well together. Another good performance from Besic too, excellent goal by Dowell

Bit of Robbie Fowler about that

missed 1st half stupid traffic.. Liked what I saw 2nd half especially in final 3rd when we lost the ball. A lot more hustle to get it back unlike tail end of last season hands in the air blaming someone else... Things are looking good and balance is there which is great.. COYB we'll have the league tied up end of September

I don't think Dowell is a Koeman player, but GOD he needs to get some playing time this upcoming season

But....but....

Bit of Robbie Fowler about that

Who ?

 

[tommye]

At last the real reason Ross wants out, he's seen the talent on the conveyor belt and thought sod this for a game of soldiers, i can't compete with them lot.

If it weren't for those pesky kids...grrrrr.

Is that you Mr Glitter....

 

[ianefc]

Happy with that. Impressive how the rhythm wasn't affected by all thoses changes and we got better from that point.

 

[Tigger]

Translation: We're all genuinely excited about Dowell. He's been ace. That goal was an absolute cracker. Then, being Evertonians, we start taking the piss out of ourselves after about 30 seconds because we don't want to morph into Kopites.

Right, so he is not the messiah, just a very promising boy.

 

[Buckshot Lafonque]

Who ?

I knew I wouldn't get away with that

 

[johnnydawg68]

Who ?

Some no mark who used to support the Blues as a kid but then disappeared off the face of the earth.

 

[mightymoyes]

After seeing some of what the young lads are capable of, got to give huge credit to the work David Unsworth has done with the U23s. Lots of promise on show today.

some of us have been banging on for years about how good a crop of youngsters this group is. so hard to give them all a chance at the same time though

More game time under our belt, young lads looking sound, Besic marshalling everyone like a true captain in waiting.
