Is anyone else worried

[Doolstar70]

The other team had already begun their league campaign mate.

Fair enough, it makes a difference.

Fair enough, it makes a difference.

And we still won with a clean sheet.

Albeit harder than expected, however we are only 3 weeks into pre-season yet still beat an up-and-running team without conceding an away goal.

We all assumed they were a joke side - always dangerous to do. They acquitted themselves very well I thought. That'd have been a massive banana skin years ago. Yet we won.

Don't get me wrong. I'd like another striker. But I am not worried.

Giroud preferably, he's a hunk.

Need someone strong in the air to threaten the cb's more. Need more options to break down teams that sit back.

Slumped in my seat on Thursday, the thud of the penny dropping when I realised how weak we are up front, and how much of a risk Coco, Leighton and Williams are at the back - with current squad, top half max.

 

[Titus Bramble]

Still no

Think we need some major additions, say Giroud or Benteke and Sig to have the slightest chance of closing the gap.

Going in to last season we had Bolasie, Barkley and Lukaku as our attacking three and now we have Sandro and Rooney. That´s a lot weaker imo.

I always felt daft suggesting Benteke for obvious reasons however he didn't get a fair crack of the whip at Special Dispensation FC.

Red prejudice aside (eg. Peter Beardsley), could he do a job?

Yes. Always scores goals.

Yeh people whinge that he's either ex-Red or that he did his ACL and suddenly isn't any good at football.

15 goals for a Crystal Palace team that can't cross says otherwise.

I have been on here a long time just never posted. I wouldn't say I was worried as such I think Everton have done good business in the transfer window an there is time to add more quality an we will add more. What does worry me tho is the set up of the team with the signing we have made. We need are width an pace down the wing to come from the right back an left back positions so I feel like we needed to sign at least a quality right back for this. That said I believe we will get a left sided centre half a quality striker an sig before the window closes an we will be in for a great season.

 

[Moggers]

I like Everton.

 

[MACCA75]

We need a centre forward, although lots has been made of us losing our top scorer - less made of that fact that Man Utd have too, Chelsea will, Liverpool probably will and Arsenal possibly will be too. City's top scorer likely to be on the bench.

 

[davids]

Still too many.

Maybe the New Year might confirm or disprove your opinion.

 

[ToffeeTim]

I'm always worried about Everton. Not sure why this is an issue now tho.

I don't think palace would sell him or we would pay what they'd want
