No Perri at all yet, would have expected him on the bench at least. No clear picture of what our Everton team wil look like as this muddy's the waters well. Unsure what we're hoping for here tbh..

Bogle injured or carrying a knock? Last look at Schmidt just to be sure?

Almost 0 creativity in that midfield or attack

Gnonto aside.

Honestly don't know what that tells us. I could be a very narrow line up as neither Gnonto or Aronson are pure wingers. Do we need to see Schmidt if we're selling him. Shouldn't we be creating understandings and partnerships if Bijol is starting in central defence. Why no Perri? Is he not in England yet?

I guess we wait for Milan now for clues but they're likely to be very understrength themselves

No Harrison, Bogle, James or Perri, Joseph... Are we playing somewhere else as well. I'm now assuming Perri needs international clearance.

Farke always plays narrow so probably will be.

As you say I expected to see basically our Everton team today and building partnerships and understandings and a clear indication of where we are.

That team looks very safe and very one dimensional.

Strange selection

That seems a good benchmark.


£20M for a Championship level striker

It shows how we just will not have the finances to improve on Piroe

I’m keeping faith. Recruitment team has done a solid job so far, IMHO. Time will tell.

For Nmecha, with time to think, read Bamford.

Am hoping to be fluent in Spanish by the end of the match - or at the very least able to know the spanish for Aaronsen gives it away.
