One game a year with Everton's radio crew is enough for a decade.

We know the 2nd string aren't great for us, and we need further strengthening but no need to descend into a panic.
Yeah, every new signing has the dual effect of helping us have a squad.

Until we add more players, this is classic Moyes Everton with a first eleven that can compete and a bench you pray you never have to use.

Yeah that’s my feeling too - does make it clear we need another CM option still though if we’re going to play three in the middle as Charly/McNeil/Ndiaye can’t fill in there like they can at CAM

There will be a new "relegation" topic by the international break. :snigger:

Played well but I think the difference is they've put it some great crosses and our final ball in similar positions has been consistently shocking

We need a right back and a right winger minimum.

Depending on recruitment, agreed.

We have more or less made good for god knows how long at right back.
FFS go and get a proper rb and be done with it.
This is really pissing me off and has been for ages

Seen enough this preseason to suggest we’re nothing short of a bang average team. We’ll be fine and Moyes should keep us out of trouble, but the Freidkins have notoriously itchy trigger fingers and it could get out of hand quickly if we don’t start well.

I feel confident when I say that Chermiti is not a winger.

Feel bad that he’s gotten the Anichebe treatment this preseason.
