Raul Jiminez, anyone know if he is any good, never seen him play myself.

So, a gang of eastern euopean thugs, come to our ground, attach our staff, ballboys, and supporters, and where in trouble, please could someone make seance of this for me!

We have one accusation to answer they have four I think. It’s clear who’s in deep trouble here, so very little to worry about.

Its because we are an English club, maybe if we had stone age fans who still do monkey noises like the Italians do we would be better respected. UEFA is and always has been a joke, the whole UEFA, FIFA set up needs a major overhaul.

For an Evertonians who has followed Everton during the early seventies, it took me just three games to think wow Southall is going to be something special that was an away midweek fixture at Birmingham City, have admired a few goalies since then, in Pickford I can now say wow again, this guy is something special, from catching a ball, commanding his area, making saves and distribution we have got one hell of a goalkeeper there, the Days of dreading corners or crosses from opposition have gone for me first time in a while last night I had total confidence in a goalkeeper.

Don't forget his distribution. That half volley kick to DCL other night was fantastic. Did the same for England at u21 euros but ball was on the deck. He's definitely got something about him.

The way he screamed at Rooney for giving the ball away and putting defence under pressure was what I liked. The lad is nails.

Very exciting isn't he. As said above, he isn't afraid to let the players know who's boss either!

19 Aug 2017 13:39:04
Was like he's been playing for us for years. Wasnt completely over the moon with the signing initially but he looks the part already no doubt and hope it long continues.

Eds are Everton likely to face punishment for last night crows trouble Even though it was exclusively hajduk fans perpetuating the violence and the stewards were excellent in controlling the outbreak. Not sure what EFC as a club could have done better.

{Ed002's Note - They are on the charge list so it is possible.}

Everton have been charged with throwing objects mate.

18 Aug 2017 17:54:48
I am not condoning any part that Everton fans may have had in the disturbances, but if UEFA come down as hard on Everton as they do on Hajduk Split it will be ridiculous. Hajduk Split have already been sanctioned and fined for the fans behavior this season including racial chants. I just hope that any Everton fans who go to the away leg come home safe and well.

18 Aug 2017 17:55:48
We are an English Club. Sorry to say it but even in 2017 it still goes on.

18 Aug 2017 18:05:45
A couple of plastic bottles were thrown back from the Park Stand so I'm guessing a small fine, stewards and police were brilliant last night, fully expect the return leg played behind closed doors, I fear for any fellow Evertonians having to attend the away leg. One another note Celtic got thrown out of the cup winners cup in 85 for a bottle being thrown, that last night was far worse and common sense should play that game in an empty stadium, if not it will explode over there second leg.

18 Aug 2017 18:45:41
Sorry apologies missed out Celtic had to replay the tie they already won, losing 1 nil in the rearranged tie due to the bottle incident.

18 Aug 2017 08:57:26
Great to see the players are starting to gel but I feel they are miles off still which makes me almost delirious with excitement about just how good they can be!
Few more weeks and games and Koeman will have them sorted!

18 Aug 2017 09:38:48
Looked better last night and I have to agree with Davies and Lookman to come on and change things as well as siggy things are looking really good.

18 Aug 2017 09:52:44
Did look better last night and will be getting better with each and every game that's what is so exciting.

18 Aug 2017 12:17:05
The trouble broke the flow a bit as well. I feel happier today as you say we have more in us. Looked great at times. Good outing before the city game has done us no harm.

18 Aug 2017 14:11:53
I just hope that the next few games against Top opposition doesn't dampen our spirits and we get through them with a few good performances.

18 Aug 2017 15:21:36
Are there highlights anywhere?

18 Aug 2017 17:59:54
Flattered to deceive, sorry to put a dampner on it. Loved the build up play but like quite a few other Clubs in our little league 7, 8,9,10ish, no end product per build up.

18 Aug 2017 20:22:46
Rooney missed a couple that he should have put away, but the lack of a top drawer CF was evident. The number of teams we were caught offside was frustrating. Whether that's down to a lack of sharpness or lack of pace, time will tell.

Lookman, Martina, Keane and Pickford were huge positives for me though. Thought all had very good game.
