Ten Posted July 15, 2015 Report Posted July 15, 2015 Everton and Stoke City kick off the BarclaysAsia Trophy 2015 with the first match on Wednesday, 11.00am GMT. Thoughts. Predictions. Hopes. Dreams. All in between. Close game. Loss 2-1. Hope we play a strongish team. Dreamt of an orgy. Quote
MikeO Posted July 15, 2015 Report Posted July 15, 2015 I need to go and see if I can find a bar showing it, misread the schedule and thought it was a 7.00 BST KO but that's just the highlights. Quote
captainbeaker Posted July 15, 2015 Report Posted July 15, 2015 Teams for todays games. decent starting line up, but keeping some good options on the bench too. Everton: Howard, Hibbert, Galloway, Jagielka, Browning, Barry, McCarthy, Pienaar, Barkley, Mirallas, Lukaku.Subs: Robles, Stones, Kone, Naismith, Cleverley, Deulofeu, Osman, Coleman, Garbutt, Kenny, Williams, Robinson. Stoke City: Haugaard, Bardsley, Cameron, Muniesa, Teixeira, Sidwell, Shenton, Odemwingie, Ireland, Arnautovic. Joselu.Subs: Given, Whelan, Johnson, Wilson, van Ginkel, Adam, Diouf, Walters, Crouch, Moha. Quote
captainbeaker Posted July 15, 2015 Report Posted July 15, 2015 looking at Guradians tect commentry, someone must be feeling good this pre-season 4 min: Jagielka comes romping out of defence like Franz Beckenbauer. He slides a pass down the left for Lukaku Quote
Shukes Posted July 15, 2015 Report Posted July 15, 2015 Typical Everton so far. Lots of possession, controlling the game without creating much. Stoke have one chance to run at us, get down the wrong, put in a cross and a real chance. Quote
Shukes Posted July 15, 2015 Report Posted July 15, 2015 Ross is looking really lively though. Mirralas has also had a decent effort and looking very direct. Quote
Shukes Posted July 15, 2015 Report Posted July 15, 2015 Decent effort from Jags with header from Mirralas freekick. Quote
Shukes Posted July 15, 2015 Report Posted July 15, 2015 Hibbo doing his usual and showing he has a good sense of positioning and reading if the game. Great old fashioned defender. Quote
Shukes Posted July 15, 2015 Report Posted July 15, 2015 What a goal saving tackle from Jags...that's a proper tackle. Quote
Ten Posted July 15, 2015 Author Report Posted July 15, 2015 This update did make me laugh 29 min: Hibbert is caught flailing around like the Isle of Man flag, and eventually ends up on his face, allowing Arnautovic to tear off with the ball. I say tear, he lightly jogs towards the box, but before he can slip a shot past Howard, is robbed by a last-ditch tackle by Jagielka, who appears to be in Proper Match Mode. A fine challenge to save the day, though Arnautovic was snoozing. Quote
Shukes Posted July 15, 2015 Report Posted July 15, 2015 Not surprised Peanuts is down, he's been kicked to shit. I think other players must hate him. He seems to get taken through the back so many times. Quote
Ten Posted July 15, 2015 Author Report Posted July 15, 2015 Aha, I like this Guardian guy.... 37 min: Ireland has a pop from 25 yards. The ball lands in Scotland. Quote
Ten Posted July 15, 2015 Author Report Posted July 15, 2015 Sounding like we still can't break a defense minded team down. This is why a smart playmaker is crucial. Without the flair and brains, we just fuckabout with it. No penetration. And I LOVE penetration. Quote

Shukes Posted July 15, 2015 Report Posted July 15, 2015 Lukaku just offside bit nice through ball from Peanuts. Disallowed. Quote
Ten Posted July 15, 2015 Author Report Posted July 15, 2015 You know what, I think he was level.... Where the hell is the attackers BOD now a days!? Quote
Shukes Posted July 15, 2015 Report Posted July 15, 2015 Ye that's centremeters there. Attackers should have the advantage. Quote
Ten Posted July 15, 2015 Author Report Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) Cleverley, Naismith & Osman now on. Edit: & Deulofeu That's a very 'small' (Height) team now. Edited July 15, 2015 by tenaciousj Quote
Shukes Posted July 15, 2015 Report Posted July 15, 2015 Great save from Naisy. Good effort there. Quote
MikeO Posted July 15, 2015 Report Posted July 15, 2015 Not a single bar here showing it. Loads advertising the Arse game for later though, predictable. Following on text while "Sky Ashes" is on multiple TVs. Frustrating. Quote
Shukes Posted July 15, 2015 Report Posted July 15, 2015 Browning has been looking good. Looks a solid young lad. Gerry with a clown moment haha. Runs onto ball..it hits his heel..then goes to pass it after a rollover and fluffs it. We're gonna have some giggles this year along with moments of magic. Quote
Shukes Posted July 15, 2015 Report Posted July 15, 2015 Ossie should have done better there. That should have been a goal. Quote

Ten Posted July 15, 2015 Author Report Posted July 15, 2015 Like the look of Stoke's keeper. Looks very composed. Good shot stopper too. Quote
MikeO Posted July 15, 2015 Report Posted July 15, 2015 Presumably this will go to pens if no goals. Quote
Shukes Posted July 15, 2015 Report Posted July 15, 2015 Good save from Tim. Nice one two with Gerry and Naisy. Tame effort on goal from Gerry, but looking likely and exciting. Quote
Ten Posted July 15, 2015 Author Report Posted July 15, 2015 Crouch coming on, see how the youngsters do at the back. They've been pretty good so far. Quote
Ten Posted July 15, 2015 Author Report Posted July 15, 2015 Good from Browning. Geri, inconsistent, as expected. Quote
