Agree with those two. Dare I say it...I thought Rom was very good too.

Lukaku must have shirty breath...talking to Mourinho with his hand over his mouth.

I thought we had the better opportunities against one of the strongest teams in the premier...on thier ground.

And damn Kone is strong at holding the ball up......but damn is he shit. Why can't he pass at least as good as a Sunday pub team player?

Wow.. How good does Davies look.

Shit I'm cursed....I did that.

This is the Besic we know. Different player today. Who went down then? Looked bad.

Ye,not allowed to talk about the player in this thread...keep it to the Lukaku thread

He's right though, thos OS why we have clubs and professional coach's queuing up for him....this bidding war could hit 100m if it continues. Hang on a sec......?

I'm worried too. The only thing I am hopeful about is that since Walsh signed, we have made a move and it seems to he a good one. I'm hoping that he isn't working on hos next one...which I agree totally needs to be a No1 keeper.

Can't wait till the day this is all over. He can score goals but that's about it. If we cam replacement with a player that improves the team for that money then that should be our goal. I would rather have a player that contributes to the team getting three points and we do is top six than a player that scores a goal every two games and we finish 11th.

I think this is going to be oneof those signings that people don't really get excited about until they see him play. A defensive high pressing midfielder,...this is exactly what we need. I have a good feeling about this one.

For the sequel too haha.

My panick stems from the friendlys. People were saying were playing a high pressure game etc and I honestly couldn't see the difference from when Martinez was in charge. It's very early and his style might take time. But I didn't exactly see players playing for thier positions. Gerry was good in spells again St very poor opposition. Mirralas was...well other than a freekick he was Mirralas. Ross was again uninspiring. One good goal, one softly bit trickier and not much else to offer. Defence......Everton. Results......Everton. Feeling......Everton.

Has he had it though? They said the same last week and I can't see it on SSN or the official site.

Don't they have the fans pretty far from the pitch though?

Would hate a stadium with a running track.

I have never known him to be so highly regarded as he is now. If this isn't his prime then he must have been one of the best kept secrets.

This is a signing that excites me at last. Real steel and leadership. Big strong and experienced defender. 10m is cheap for him.

Again same as last match, not very direct other than gerry ...who is always direct. Outplayed and outfought. I know it's only pre season and it's....all about fitness....but it's not looking good is it. Very poor. Mirralas Gibson Lennon Look squad fillers at best.

Thank you, you made me smile

Was just thinking the same thing. Refreshing to see a keeper be more of a commander than a basic shot stopper.

Shit me...that's a stunning free kick Gerry.

I think that's more because of rest periods etc and not playing many senior players. Will be interesting to see the starting eleven in the next match which will be our best opponents yet.

Good effort Stones and great play Gerry. Makes things happen that lad.
