[yankfan]

Watching on fox deportees. The Mexican announcer really liked Kargbo’s over head kick.

i say it every year,id`e love everton to go down,their fans have got a massive sense of deluded entitlement

Gueye really is a bit of a donkey at times. 

Ohashi for me, every time.

You can see what everyone likes about Tyjon. Confident and intelligent. Young and a bit raw, but the talent is there. Wouldn’t mind him as backup for the 10 role at all.

Montgomery doesn’t look like a kid anymore and Atcheson and Litherland look to have something about them as well.

If VI can get Rovers top six with this budget he's worked miracles!

He looks calm and composed - has drawn a foul and turned his man in the 20-30 minutes he's been on. There's something there for sure.

The game has passed Montgomery by since he moved to CM, which is what I thought would happen considering his pedigree. 

#8 (the double barrelled named lad) is miles off the standard, sadly. 

[philipl]

This is extremely encouraging.

Considering he’s not even featured for the under 21s I thought he did ok. I wasnt watching him thinking “he’s shit”

[simongarnerisgod]

No, but I was thinking "if he's running out for us this season we're in big trouble".

Didn't say he couldn't develop into something, but he's miles off the standard right now.

It's the hope that kills you. The Championship is a meat grinder. And these kids will all be sold ASAP.

[neophox]

Did anyone miss Dolan, Weimann and Batth today?

[WacoRover]

Is that ballgame!?

everton site never said so… just congratulations all around for a young, brave team ha ha

 

[TimmyJimmy]

Tell you what boys, tell you what ...

some good signs there.  Pace and intensity just what VI asked for. Technically OK too.  Solid work in defence. Academy lads doing well.

Silly to draw any conclusions about the season ahead but after this I'm not quite as pessimistic as I was a few hours ago.

[neophox]

Tyjon looks interesting.

[bazza]

I wish I knew the squad, especially the subs. Who is the goalkeeper and the lad with a double-barrel name?

GK is Michalski - highly thought of. Went on loan to Bamber Bridge and City of Liverpool (who?!) last year. He's 18.

#8 is Mullarkey-Matthews - who I know nothing about. Hasn't even played for the U21s yet. No idea how old he is, but he's a RB who went on loan to Bamber Bridge last season it seems.
