[Archived] Everton - the "Prestige Friendly"

[Roverthechimp]

Huge difference in movement, technique and (shockingly) apparent fitness

[West Yorks Rover]

Have to disagree about Lowe and Marrow, it looks as though neither of them have an ounce of creativity between them, neither have had any influence on the game whatsoever and both have been terrible imo.

Those saying King has been useless are not wrong but that's always been my opinion of him

Rhodes completely isolated as usual. Hope to see Rochina soon and one or two other changes to give us some kind of attacking imperus..

You could hardly blame Rhodes if he wanted to leave if someone was interested, the service he gets in this team is shocking !

Up to the manager to do something about it, has GB got it in him ?

[SoldierMo]

Attack come from right Where Morris playng left back...GB needs to realise he is not a left back

[Bundesburn]

Reading this is thoroughly depressing.

Edit: that's not to say any of it is wrong (I'm not watching) but it bodes terribly for next weekend.

Our fitness should be better, we kick-off next week, Everton have 3 weeks yet.

What was the idea of this friendly? A realisation of how far we've sunk over the past 3 years, for all to see?

[pick32]

Wouldn't be bothered if we lost 6-0 this match has no reflection to how derby will go.

[roverandout]

how do you know?

Exactly - that was my whole point. Of course we are being forced to run around chasing shadows...

9,142 ....

You have to admit it does not bode well, if our star player is not getting any service.

....our average gate this season

[adsfortheblues]

Same here. Just got an ad in the middle.

From what I've been able to make out, King has been woeful, giving ball away a lot, but defensively we have been relatively solid.

Everton got far better players than us so it's to be expected that they will dominate.

You musnt have the right plug-ins to enable you to play it

[John Howarth]

9,142 ....

If Everton took the whole Darwen end that is 8,000 from them

[adsfortheblues]

Well From what I've seen pre-season, we are worse than that season, at best level par. Judge is okay that's it, Taylor crap and in general midfield an absolute disgrace. Pass the ball 4-5 times in the middle and then hoof it to Rhodes (because we all know that plan works). Saying that it probably isn't even a plan, they just can't do anything else.

It's a good job were not playing teams of this calibre then.

[RevidgeBlue]

Rochina still prone to giving the ball away but has livened us up no end in an attacking capacity. Rosado and Best on for Rhodes and Judge.

3-0. Poor goal defensively. Starting to get embarrassing.

One a new EU directive is passed next year, they won't be illegal, until then fair enough.

Does'nt sound as though he's had much service all pre-season.
