Josh Berno Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Were meant to be setting a good example for Everton and were ment to be showing that we are one of the best clubs in the premier league not getting beat 2-0 by Chicago Fire. Yes we didn't have a strong team out but am still dissapointed at the scoreline. This is getting worrying. Get Signing MOYES! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is getting very worrying, it looks like a very very poor performance in every game, you always have to win this kind of games and at minimum a few pre-season games if you have so much like us. I´m getting a little bit afraid with the time, its not acceptable... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagoblue Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 We were pretty much crap. No one in the center of midfield to dictate play going forward. In the first half we had most of the possession but never really threatened going forward. In the second half we fell out of it more and more. Ossie really was the only bright spot, I think it would have been a different game if we'd started him. As to Vaughan's card my mate was in the first rows right in front of it and said the ball took a funny bounce as he was going in with his tackle. Striker's tackle and a bit heavy but not malicious.

troy8 Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 rapids 1 - 2 everton i suppose this win will boost the squads confidence, although we still desperately need to increase our squad before the premier league kicks off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 What I've taken from the pre-season friendlies so far is that we're lacking creativity and our defence is not looking too good. Lets hope we don't carry those things into the season otherwise we won't be scoring many and conceding quite a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viennatoffee Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 i keep forgetting we have to play PSV in two days time.how do we all think we will go against them? I would be happy with a draw against them, our pre-season is really shit! Nothing is going on like we thought 2 months ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Can remember many happy pre-seasons in the last forty odd years when we've strolled through the friendlies and I've thought, "We're on for a good one this year" only to be left in mid table obscurity or a relegation fight come Easter. This is the most depressing off-season since 2004....but look what happened then (grasps at straw) . Anyway, interesting side out against PSV....

Adam Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Wouldn supprise me if this is the team that starts against Blackburn apart from Lescott playing and Jags in the midfield Goes to show how short we are when you look at the bench and think there is only Cahill that is missing from the team and most of the bench was youngsters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 We need a specialised and established DM badly. Jagielka is NOT a defensive midfielder and we can't rely on Rodwell to be a starting player just get, get M'Bia and fast. Our players today just gave the ball to Arteta and then stood around waiting for him to do something We need players and a massive improvement by next week otherwise we could start the season with a loss, which hasn't happened for a few seasons now.

Josh Berno Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 That game has just proved we need players quick and fast. Has Yakubu forgot the offside rule while hes been away I mean wtf!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangerMouse Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Typical pre season atmosphere..... quiet and jokey..... 10k max attendance but not sure they didnt say...... Was impressed with the new advertising boards though....... if they were ours........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Thought Jags and Yobo looked good together in the first half. Lescot or Nuno might play fullback on saturday, Baines always looks good when on the attack but he's awfull at defending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangerMouse Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 I actualy though the kids were a bit poor too..........Everyone else seems to think they had a great game..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 I didnt actually see Rodwell make that many tackles, but was pleased with Gosling, he's not afraid to run at defenders and looks comfortable on the ball, but the end pass never came off, lost it too many times but that will come with experience. PSV looked a usefull side who were only at half pace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 For anyone who was there what was it like with the fans and the team. Was there many people there to watch it was the people showing not happy about the pre seaso shit game, shit atmosphere. only good part was my mate getting clapped at at the beggining for telling a psv player to shut the fuck up. no more than 10,000 there. was bloody awful. we need players and fast. baines had a shit game, kept giving the ball away. the yak was shit till last 5 mins, arteta looked lively when on the ball was expecting to raise moral with fans (over the tanoid) "ladies and gentlemen we have a special anouncement - we have a new player amoungst the squad" ala smith.

c1982 Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 I thought it was an encouraging performance. Rodwell certainly looks ready to contend around the first team - gosling looks bright too. Ossie looked quality as usual on the ball (great first touch!) but light-weight on occassions - baines looked shakey at times but bombed forward willingly. We've got some good young players coming through - we must remember 5 of our players last night couldn't get into the bar for post-match drinks as they're still 16 or 17 - this against champions league opposition. At no point did PSV totally dominate - we looked the better team for the most part of the game. Yak looked a little lonely up front but this will be addressed - as will issues in other areas of the pitch and moyes will address these before aug 31st - if the right players are there for the right price he will sell the club to them - the rest is up to them. Until then, we've got 5 very winnable opening games to the season that i'm sure last nights team with a few new faces settling in will get us 10-15 points on the board and a strong start to the season and set us up nicely for our 6th game!

Blue4Ever Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 (edited) Went the game....Thought Mikel looked sharp and back to full fitness Rodwell looks a prospect, he probably done a better job Neville and better than Carsley would have done last season at such a young age, he looked composed on the ball and always asked for it when he was in a decent position to recieve it, and then moved it on without hitting one long ball all game. defense looked dogey, Yobo and Jagielka seriously need to just play the ball from the back, all these long balls only end up coming back to them with the other team on the ball. The Yak done ok at times but he didnt get much support and I couldnt remember 1 through ball to him all game. A few players and we will probably do well this season. Was it just me or did Lukas look a Joke, no fitness, slow, shit on the ball, what the hell did moyes see in him?

MikeO Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/everto...64375-21510638/ "It has not, been an easy summer at Goodison Park but the picture is nowhere near as bleak as some would wish to paint it; when Moyes has his first choice XI available and experience on the bench, that is the time to really start judging. Once that happens, Everton will win far more matches than they lose. Good sides do not become bad ones overnight." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
