Pre-season (Match Threads Here)

[Cozzie]

Not arsed, seen enough, we have to be starting Aznou.

[Evertonian418]

Loving Aznou and Merlin.

[weimaranerblues]

FFS. Shite from Keane

[Dchans]

Oh dear

[Cozzie]

Michael Keane

Ohhhhhhhh the joys.

[Bluedylan1]

That's annoying.

[Bumble]

The difference between our first and second string is quite large.

Patterson has been terrible since coming on and Alcaraz has had two good opportunities to break and chosen the wrong option.

George and Aznou look good again, and Johnson has looked dangerous making those runs into the box.

It’s whether Moyes now goes with Dibling to start on the right (which I think he will) and George on the bench.

Both Patterson and Alcaraz need moving on the next few weeks. Both will spend the season sat on the bench, disappoint when they do get used and run down their value to zero.

[Kerryblueboy]

He’s only fourth choice

[Fynci]

It doesn’t really matter, and shouldn’t damper things. We look ready for the season, and we have some options for sure.

I agree. Certainly there is zero point in Patterson now that Rohl / JOB are there, alongside (hopefully a first choice RB to come in).

I have seen enough of Rohl to know that he is a much better choice and player than Patterson and deserves to start against Palace.

[Audrey Horne]

Looked great, massive difference with Keane and Patterson on, awful players.

Very pleasing signs though overall.

[Bluedylan1]

Played well. Loads of positives again. Bit disjointed after all the subs, and then Bouaddi ran the game.

Good job we haven't got European footy, first 11 plus say 3 others , yeah the gulf and drop off is worrying

[Indiantoffee75]

Problem is, it's all well and good playing for large periods of the game, but it's then those small moments, lapses of concentration and basic errors which ruins the good work.

Sadly we'll see a repetition of that this season. That's the frustration.

In a real game we aren’t making eight subs and Patterson and Keane aren’t seeing the pitch though
