Dunk and Pedro haven’t played 90 minutes since May have they ? And not in pre season yet. ( Pedro started last week maybe).
Can’t see either starting at Everton.

We need Dunk to start from a organisation perspective alone.

I think it’s going to take time for Hurzeler to work out his best team…seems to me that one of the key lessons from last season is that we needed a bigger squad (given the injuries). And the number of quality youngsters means the playing squad is going to be materially bigger than last season. Obviously a few will probably leave (permanent or loans)….but I can see a really strong bench this season, which will help our energetic style, and hopefully mitigate against the risks of multiple injuries.

Be interesting how we get on against Villarreal with that tactic.

QPR were poor, every time the had the opportunity to work the ball around us, they overhit the pass. Their movement was abysmal, and they’re one week ahead of us. Their forwards were cumbersome, defence were very ponderous.

BTW Cozier-Duberry’s touch when he pulled the crossfield pass down, was moment of the match for me. That was brilliant……

It was a nice cross field ball from O’Mahony too

Eh? Pedro wasn't on the Japan tour. He only returned to training a few days ago. Hasn't played a minute yet in pre-season.

The best f***ing dutchman I know''

Nice additon to the repertoire. Hope our other dutchmen don't get sad though 😂

Don’t think any of our outfield players have played 90 mins since May.

I doubt Dunk will need much of a traditional pre season, he trained with England all summer and would have been ready to go for 90 mins if needed.

He’s just spend the last week in Dubai doing fitness work with Elite Sports Performance who specialise in off season fitness. I don’t see much reason he won’t be ready to go for Everton.

Of course, but we’ll see if the tinkering was too much, we are one game from the start of the season. Do YOU have a clue what the starting 11 will be?

Hopefully FH does but I am struggling to recall a pre season where we were making so many changes with one game to go before the season kicks off whilst missing so many of the previous season’s starters

So this close season we've had the Euros, Copa America and Olympics with a squad that has developed over the last few years to include more internationals away and late back, so what are you comparing this year with?

Last year I watched a rather uninspiring 1-1 draw with Rayo Valacano as our last pre season friendly really not expecting how we came out of the traps in the PL!!

By all means get hung up on pre season performances, personally I wouldn't....

If this was a cup game, I think we would all be fairly satisfied with the result. No reason to feel any different now, plus most of the squad got some valuable game time.

You're either on a major windup, or an incurable thicko. Either way - its tedious.
