You missed Atsu, he's definitely in as well.

Thank you!

Could it look like this perhaps?

Robles

Oviedo Browning Alcaraz Garbutt

Ledson? ?

Atsu McAleny Pienaar

Kone

Confirmed: Robles, Browning Garbutt, Alcaraz, Oviedo, Pienaar, Kone, McAleny. He also refused to name youngsters but did "slip" and say 2 youngsters.

That's 10 total players so one other TBD in the lineup. Most likely a first team player. McGeady/Atsu/Hibbert/Besic/Osman

Robles

Gibson, Oviedo and McAleny on for Ledson, McGeady and Osman respectively

If Howard, Coleman, Jags, Baines, Barry, McCarthy, Mirallas or Lukaku are even on the bench i will be pissed. Barkley, Eto'o, Distin, Naisy wouldnt mind nearly as much

Everton 3 - 1 Hull

Jelavic will score at goodison, he just has to the way this season is going

Everton 3 - 2 Swansea

We're in the Europa League for the first time in 5 years, the derby is this weekend, we have all of our young players tied down for years to come or massive transfer fees, we play in the greatest stadium in the world, we support the greatest club in the world!

Really cant believe the negativity. The squad we put out would struggle to compete in the championship. Had we won the game today, most on here would b****/moan about having to play again when the next round rolled around. This game was never a priority and for good reason.

Liverpool 2 - 3 Everton

Naismith

Robles

Need to factor in Sunday's team selection. Few minutes for Naisy means he starts and Stones substitution seems to mean he can play today.

My guess is similar to Romey's...

Joel

Browning Stones Alcaraz Garbutt

McGeady Besic Gibson Oviedo

Naismith

McAleny

My guess on subs are 15-20 mins for Eto'o, Kone, Atsu coming on for McGeady, Oviedo and Naismith

Everton 1-0 Palace

Eto'o

Update on this. Just been the box office to swap our seats for the game due to my boy wanting to sit in a different part of the ground (he wants to try the seats in all the stands) and the girl (lovely she was to ) said that they had sold a LOT of tickets yesterday and today and although it wont be a sell out they're expecting over 30k now after initial worries it was going to be closer to 20k .

 

So hopefully it'll be a good game. Got good tickets in the upper Bullens but couldn't get halfway line area or front row at all.

 

Getting excited now. Stopped on Goodison Road and said my usual prayer to Dixie. Sat and looked at the Old Lady for 10 minutes just thinking about all the emotions I've experienced in her. Fucking love being an Evertonian, it really is in your heart and soul.

 

COYFBB!!!!

Something everyone can agree on! To those who will be in attendance tomorrow please understand how jealous everyone of us Americans is and be in full voice for the team and for those who cannot make it to the game. I know that atmosphere will be truly special.

West Brom 1 - 3 Everton

Naismith

Everton 2-0 Chelsea

Baines

To be fair, the things that went wrong at Leicester couldn't be fixed in a week. We played well for 45 minutes at Leicester, and about 70 minutes against Arsenal. We should be able to pull off a full game against Chelsea (!!!). Fitness isn't a quick fix.

 

I am wondering if, with Bobby only being a young footy manager at 41, this would have been his first experience of having several players away at a world cup. The approach in pre season maybe reflects this. Low key, strange player choices, not many games etc. I guess there has to be a right balance between rest and intensity. I have no idea how they would figure out the best way...but I am sure that Bobby has analysed it all and probably, hopefully, learnt from it and be a better manager for it. To our advantage.

 

We'll be in full swing within a couple of games and will all be making cyber love again on this forum.

Spot on across the board

Missed last week but ill join in from here on out....

Everton 2 Arsenal 1

Pienaar

I'm fucking overjoyed if this turns out to be true. Look at the spine of our team and the ages.. Stones, Mcarthey, Barkeley and (hopefully) Lukaku!! All 23 or under. What a spine to build a team round it's phenomenal with Besic at 21 and some up and coming kids we could be better off than we have ever bedn. Forget Lukakus fee it's a major piece to the jigsaw.

Spot on. This signing changes the landscape for Everton for the next 5 years...at least

Relatively new to the forum but already gathering that there is alot of negativity. Forget the glory days we live in the here and now and Lukaku is far and away the most talented player to even consider playing for Everton. 30m or less and I will be screaming in my cubicle and skipping away on my lunch break. I'm amazed at how little an established PL striker carries weight around here. Why buy two strikers for 30m from other leagues and not be sure of what you are getting? Lukaku 31 PL goals before he turned 21. Done and dusted, now we just need him to agree to play here.

Not the news we were hoping for, but still very happy. I would have liked them to parade him in a number ten shirt too.

He said he remembers how it felt when Rooney left, I like his honesty there.

Well done to him too, he still looks nervous and uncomfortable infront of the camera, but he did what he was told. And showed a bit of maturity when he asked the woman to repeat her question rather than just throw out a cliche.

Again, not the news we hoped for but still good news.

The more I think about the more I change my mind. Im glad there was an announcement for that. Most teams, especially big teams, have pressers for extending their most important player. Ross Barkley is exactly that, Everton's most important player. While it may seem small-time at first glance I think it is actually a step in the right direction for the club, especially after the handling of Besic.

On a somewhat side note, Ross has now entered my collection of favorites. Always admired his talent but after hearing him at the presser today I thoroughly enjoyed listening to him to speak. His nervousness came across with an air of humility and humbleness that is refreshing is today's football culture. Fair play to him and the club. Transfer market letdown or not I love this club and i am absolutely buzzing for August 16th.

The Echo website says it's Martinez's conference.

New shirt number for Barkley and contract extension according to rumours (people at the conference).

I suppose by literal definition that would be "significant" but with the way this has been setup i would be thoroughly disappointed if thats all. To me new contracts should not be the attention of a major press conference. Hoping this is lukaku/stadium related. Also not sure why it hasnt been mentioned but surely there is a .01% chance it could be a new ownership group.
