[Albion] Undercooked?

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Ok, so we've won our friendlies, mostly at a canter, but am I the only one who fees we're not quite ready for the season to start?

Lots of players who might be short of match practice - and new signings still coming in.

I feel we are one friendly (against strong opposition) short.

Hope I'm wrong.


Feel free to bounce this at 5pm on Saturday when we romp to a win at Goodison.

I agree, for sure.

I currently make Everton pretty strong favourites.

Wouldn't surprise me if we hear before the weekend of a behind closed doors friendly having been played.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Out of interest, how well cooked are Everton?

In cooking terms we are sushi

No, I think most squads are in the same position, and some worse than others. Main problem for most is not fitness but finding a settled team with the various new arrivals. For this reason I think Liverpool may be off to a flyer (having signed no new players).

I think virtually all clubs feel the same at this stage. Lots of new signings, some more in and outgoings to come and players only just back from the world cup. I suspect most clubs just want to pick up as many points as they can from the first 3 games and then get ready for a big push after the international break and the end of the transfer window.

They're obviously blue.

Now that someone's slotted home the obvious joke, Everton's preparation doesn't seem very different to ours, with the exception of less travelling. They played Salford and Coventry while we were in Japan and, in the last two weeks, beat Preston and drew with Roma.

As long as we’re not spit roasted.

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Pretty much every damn poster on NSC has, er, posted the exact same thing recently; we're hot shit going forward, and pathetically vulnerable to a counter attack. Would be nice to think that glaring flaw was addressed before Everton away. Else we'll be well and truly Dyched

Isn’t that because they can’t afford it? They need to spend less money not more on fancy Japanese hotels

Will tell you after Saturdays game

No, you're just a pessimist.............

 

[Official Old Man]

Evertons last pre-season game was at home to Roma. Near capacity 31,324 turned up! Was it free or something?
But yes, I think we need a midweek BCD game to get it together. Are Liverpool free Wednesday?

Just one small fly in that ointment.

A similar fly to the one in our ointment.

New manager.
