The Regulator Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 A quick water break, understandable in the heat. Distin has looked unflappable and Anichebe looks to have shaking off the knock. Barkley's nose is fine too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Regulator Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Cahill booked for deliberate handball. The replay shows he might have tried to head it but it's definately his arm that gets the only touch. Great save by Mucha from the resultant free kick.

The Regulator Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Surprise, surprise. we change to 4-5-1 and Anichebe is on the wide right and DC have had the ball for the last five minutes. Come on Moyes 4-4-2 is working why change it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Regulator Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Few players looking tired, Anichebe though tracking back to right-back and marshalls the ball out for a throw. Fair play to him he basically shoved the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Regulator Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Coleman and Vellios link up and Coleman fires a shot over the bar. Good reverse pass by Vellios. DC counter with a stinging effort from the outside of the box, which hits the side netting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Regulator Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 I'm sorry but Barkley looks like he could be as good as any 10mil signing we could get. He picks up the ball from Cahill and outside the opposition box surrounded by 4 players, dances out from trouble and slides a ball out to Coleman who stumbles on it. Almost half time, no real action to speak of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flaminfox Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 (edited) Is it just me or rodwell is playing really well? And with Barkley and Vellios I dont think we need any more signing (maybe just a right mid ) Edited July 24, 2011 by the_everton_way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite it being preseason vs the MLS, he looks fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farro18 Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Agree with you about Barkley, looks like a class act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Regulator Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 (edited) Half Time: DC United 0 - Everton 2 Started sharply and a lot of clever pass and go moves from the younger players. Vellios, Barkley, Rodwell, Coleman and Anichebe all looking sharp and strong ahead of the next season. It certainly looks like if we get nothing in the transfer market we have more than a few players who can step up and do the job when it needs to be. certainly against the lesser teams of the prem and in the cups we have some strength in depth. Good hold up play from the strikers, great vision from Barkley especially but also Rodwell, Bily looks solid down the left if a little slow, but all in all a strong, if drained, 45 minutes.

Johnny Bryant Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Anichebe is playing pretty well tbf! Put himself about quite abit and put his goal away pretty well, tired a little in the last part of the half.. but in that heat im not surprised! barkley's vision, creativity and passing was a breath of fresh air i felt. rodders is doing well holding up in the middle and vellios is getting in behind the defence quite abit. Standard Billy showed up for the goal and havent seen that much of him since not a bad half imo.. looking forward to the second! hopefully get gueye on!!!

The Regulator Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 After a spell of DC pressure, Distin makes a nice block and a tame effort is held by Mucha. Looking decent defensively bar that slip up for the goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Regulator Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 We've seen him score those plenty of times. Baines cross to cahill who pushes it inches wide with the header. Before that Conor had a shot blocked. Looks up for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Regulator Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 MacAleny made a good run and lays it off to Rodwell who has the option to lay it off to Cahill but turns and shoots and gets a deflection. From the resultant corner Cahill's header is cleared off the line, the ball falls to Magaye Gueye who lays it back to Bily who curls an effort onto the bar. Good spell of pressure.

The Regulator Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Jags gets beaten far too easily by Pontious and Coleman manages to stifle the shot but Distin is the vicitim as he's down. Heitinga and Neville look ready to come on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Regulator Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Good build up and Gueye rolls it to Rodwell who hits it first time low and straight at the keeper. Beckford on for Cahill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Regulator Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 (edited) GOAL: GUEYE What a goal that was. Beckford gets the ball through the defense off Gueye, Gueye sprints into the box and Beckford puts it across the front of goal with a delightful chipped pass and Gueye meets it on the back post and sends it into the other side of the goal. 3-1 Edited July 24, 2011 by The Regulator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Regulator Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Beckford showing a lot of confidence and Disitn showing the DC strikers no restraint. Macaleny then seizes the flick on from Beckford and is unlucky to put it wide on the first time volley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
