Match Thread Ruzomberok vs Everton, Thursday 3rd August, 7.45pm

[Kenshin]

Any chance DCL surprises us all and goes on to become a top player. Harry Kane looked bang average at the start of his career too

Bit early for that like. Only a Slovakian European team.

Only the other week Rooney was going to score loads because he lobbed a Kenyan keeper

 

[gonetomorrow]

Good effort Baines man.

 

[peteblue]

Davies MotM......

 

[Connor]

Survive and advance baby.

 

[ART]

Easy 3 points for Stoke next week judging by that load of crap.

 

[aglee]

Remember thinking we had England's future first choice keeper when we got Simonsen, and Wright. So trying hard not to think that about Pickford now.

 

[DownunderToffee]

...Keane for my MoM. Happy with him, plays like the game matters but still composed. Have to say to @maccavennie that Pickford dealt with a few aerial threats very well, looking the part.

Keane was the only one lively in the first half, always composed with and without the ball.

 

[TheBigIguana]

What a turgid display. Baines is so past it.

He's too short on pace and energy to be the outside of this formation. Needs a winger in front of him

 

[Alan Whittle]

Thought you were going to have to get Jo on at one point....

Well in Lids.

Everton 2017/2018 Season so far

P2 W2 D0 L0 F2 A0

Perfect!

Nicely recovered.......

 

[bluelegend]

Pickford, Keane, Davies and DCL all good. Rest not so much.

 

[a bell maul]

I can't remember one cross getting past the first defender......

geez Pete, your memory. Are you eating walnuts? , they're good for remembering things

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Well we struggled against University College Dublin in 84/85 and still ended up doing well...

 

[The binman chronicles]

We lost on corners 4-3. Not good enough Ron.

 

[Jamiednm]

Why didn't Barry crack one off??

 

[Eggs]

...mention for DCL as well. Good lad, looked better when he came on.
