[Archived] Everton - the "Prestige Friendly"

[MCMC1875]

What date is the game?

[ABBEY]

Only £12 I think Abbey but still...

Wow!

I'm going to the tip and asda. Far better than a meaningless game

[Blue n White Rover]

What date is the game?

Today. 2pm KO.

[RevidgeBlue]

It's an attractive fixture against reasonably big local Premiership opposition. I dont think the prices are unreasonable at all. My issue would be with the likely standard of entertainment on offer. Id consider it worthwhile if Rhodes and Rochina were starting up front. Otherwise Id question whether it was worth wasting 12-15 quid and 2 hours of my life for a meaningless fixture watching 9 other players with no flair plod around in what is likely to be a walking pace given the temperature. Then see seven or eight subs come on at half time. I probably will still nip down last minute though out of curiosity to see if GB has got us resembling anything like a cohesive unit.

[K-Hod]

£12 for a game of footy, I can't see an issue with that pricing tbh.

[adopted scouser]

Got my tickets, on the way down now

[Tom]

Enjoy the game people

No injuries please Rovers

[T.J.Newton]

im going for a 3-2 win(so it will more likely be a 1-0,1-1, 0-1, 0-0borefest)

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Boozebuster on Livesey branch doing a roaring trade today!

[West Yorks Rover]

Probably be totally outclassed in midfield, which might be a good thing as this should keep GB'S mind on the main job of

bringing in a couple of decent cm's.

[Jamesw1982]

ROVERS: Kean, Kane, Dann ©, Hanley, Kilgallon, Taylor, Lowe, Marrow, King, Judge, Rhodes.

Subs: Eastwood, Best, Pedersen, O'Sullivan, Rochina, Morris, Fabio Nunes, Diogo Rosado, Formica.

whats happened to Songo'o not involved? we cancelling the deal now trial ended?

[RockinRover]

Or gone back home to collect his things.

[Tom]

If that's the way we line up this season we are in for a long one

One good thing is Williamson should be back soon and if we get Bannan the team looks much better

Not playing Rochina or Best is interesting

[Salgado Is A Hero]

[Tom]

Good line up for them so its a good challenge at least

[Jamesw1982]

looks like our back 4 will all be playing the full game no defenders on the bench

[adsfortheblues]

First row sports has it on people

It won't be. Two new central midfielders to come in and possibly a winger as well and a LB. And, of course, the injured players to come back.

I agree tho, the team we've got out today wouldn't be good enough for promotion.

[Tom]

Venkys just arrived according to Kamy

[adopted scouser]

Darwen End lower full, proper fans

We're in the away kit FFS

[ABBEY]

Venkys just arrived according to Kamy

Wished I'd known I'd have greeted them again

[Josh]

Darwen End lower full, proper fans

We're in the away kit FFS

Because Everton don't have an away kit

[Salgado Is A Hero]

Is it me or does our away kit look orange?

[Roverthechimp]

I thought our kit was red?? Looks orange to me too

[The Rover of Finland]

Is King upfront with Rhodes? Or does Judge play behind JR?
