Use our rumours form to send us everton transfer rumours.

Koeman likes winning. End of conversation. He set up negative. All he cared about was a clean sheet and he said we will get that with possession and staying focused on set pieces. Bar 2 slips we never ever were conceding tonight, therefore we win.
I for one I'm happy to have Moyes 2.0 with better players. Koeman will find a way to win more games than he loses.
Thought Jags was immense. Sandro knavkered his marker out and that's where the goal came from. Klassen had some nice touches, Rooney reads the game so well and Pickford played like a 40 year old veteran. Main weak link was Williams but we were playing in a 3 against there 1. I want us to play with the mindset of win each game or tie at all costs and that's what we did. We need to install this in our club, including the fans. Have to say despite their tiny ground they made it far more hostile that we did to them (fans I'm talking about now)
In to the next round. Big league games to start the campaign. Need a striker and a wing back who can play left and right. Not worried about cb if we are playing a 3 as Mo will suit that as will holgate.
Not exciting or thrilling but for the first time in my 34 years it was professional and precise.

It can only get better is the only positive. Just keep telling myself its still pre season and players need to gel. Crying out for some creativity so the quicker gylfi arrives the better. As much as i like gueye and schneiderlin they are much the same and there will be games where we need both but we need a little magician on the pitch. Also, give me giroud or benteke before the stoke game. Credit tonight goes to pickford, keane and davies. Main thing is we are through and at the moment that's all that counts.

liverpool fans getting very bitter on their page over us things like they will murder us in the derby we bought rubbish nobody wanted (I'm sure they wanted Keane and pickford) small team on ITV4 I can't wait to play them and shut them up I mean coutinho wants to join a big club and now klopps has been caught tapping players up no club wants to deal with them so had to buy a Chelsea reject πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚.

Who cares what the kopites are saying there last 2 matches were on itv 4 and if they are slagging us off it is because they are worried about us i take it as a compliment.

Agree2 Disagree1

04 Aug 2017 07:19:36
I do take it as a compliment I actually laugh at them they are the most deluded fans in the world just think it's funny that they call us obsessed and bitter yet all they do is talk about us πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ I can't wait for the season to start them with a very good plan A but no plan B and us with a plan A B C and even a D coyb.

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Aug 2017 00:28:54
Remind me when was the last time you beat us. Perhaps this year you won't resort to tactics like trying to kick us off the pitch. P. s the so called Chelsea reject would be a starter for your team and that's a fact.

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Aug 2017 07:40:42
Easy catch these Liverpool supporters. Not much bait needed before they start biting. You guys are well better than us don't worry. We won't win a thing with the riff raff we've bought. Haha lemon.

04 Aug 2017 12:01:19
Why's he even in our page if he not worried lol wouldn't even lower myself to go on there shite site, sounds like sour grapes to me, keep laughing at them and tell them to remember the slip by the God Gerard who gave the league away for them, still can't stop laughing at that, and it couldn't of happened to a better player, couldn't stand him.

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Aug 2017 12:07:16
Kick you off the pitch?

You need to watch previous derbys, cause you lot used that tactic many a time.

Gerard's two footed tackles, goofy coming back to his own right corner to kick Mirrales into row Z to name just two recent times.

Take your blinkers off.

Agree1 Disagree0

04 Aug 2017 12:54:20
Have to say . nota bitter blue. but Gerrard's tackle on Gary Naismith was possibly the worst tackle I've seen in the modern era. I remember the guy yelping. and here are enough pictures showing Gerrard's intent. beats any dirty tackle Ross or mori committed. short memories πŸ˜‰.

04 Aug 2017 13:51:48
And remember they have spent millions over the past 10 season and still no title, just don't like the fact we have been up there with them on a very little budget, but now we are on a level playing field and just look at our future compared to there's, our youngsters are fantastic and we have a new stadium on the horizon, things are looking fantastic for us, on the other hand the shite are still living in the past and that's there biggest down fall, it may not happen for us this year but it will happen and we with leave the shite behind wallowing in what they did have. sorry how many years ago was it now πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Aug 2017 22:23:09
some fans need to take a step back we are basically still in pre season and if that wasn't a Europa game you guys would be saying good work out against a tough team just what we need so that's how I'm looming at it that was a tough pre season game where we had 5 new players starting we kept a clean sheet and the kids again did very well and never seem to let us down yes there is work to do but it's the same at every club.

Glad we're through and wasn't the best of games. For me the two in the middle were the main reason.

Gana either lost the ball or was passing it to the back three and Snids was lazy in possession. These two need a kick up the backside.

I thought Keane was really good and Pickford is such a difference to Robles and Stek. However, most of the team look a week away from sharpness both mentally and physically.

Job done. Can't wait for the kick about with Seville.

03 Aug 2017 22:01:07
Just watched r match in Europe one thing stands out is are serious lack of pace upfront which is a concern ed do u know if we are looking for a forward with pace as I think it's needed.

Think he is called Lookman.

This kid must stay!
Your thoughts, Blue Boys?

I actually though it was a professional job done there. We could have gone all gung ho to get the away goal and been picked off by the home team (avoiding having to type their name) . But we played it cool with the obvious limitations we have regarding match fitness and continuity.

The side has plenty of work yet ahead of them to be more competitive but I thought the game management was spot on.

And well done DCL for a well taken strike. It will only get better too.

Thank God for that, anyway now that's over just wondering if we got rooney on a sold as seen basis, looking seriously leggy and his passing etc is looking a bit naff to be polite. can we not send him back and say no thanks we'll not bother.

Glad that's finally over. Not the greatest of games and a few questions to be asked but ruzomberok set their stall out and made it very difficult for us.
Hats off to them, the entire population of their town wouldn't fill Goodison Park. Best of luck for the rest of their season.

I know it's early days and players need time, so thank God we still have a couple weeks before kick off, tonight was not good.

No he’s not obviously. Which is why the score was not 4-3 to them.

We have 9 days Bh, not a couple of weeks unfortunately. Still I'm not overly concerned, come August 12th we'll be fine.

No not if your a negative blue.
On plus PICKFORD, TOM and DC!
Two games, two wins, no goals conceded.
Banana skin overcame.
GYLFI to come soon!

03 Aug 2017 22:32:01
Rimmski, maybe all that passing is due to a team that knows we can punish them and tried there damned hardest to keep us out. Credit were credit is due to them for making life as difficult as they could for us. But you got to spray passes left, right and centre to try and find a way through.

No urgency and cancel pass go each other, god help us when we play a good team.

Agree1 Disagree0

03 Aug 2017 20:34:46
From that first half I think we are crying out for a target man with pace. Giroud or batshyai for example, I think rooney is not up to the pace and we have to many number ten type players on the pitch.

Believable1 Unbelievable1

{Ed025's Note - for me silky gylfi will make all the difference pauly..

03 Aug 2017 20:57:21
Really hope so Ed, rooney is struggling.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Aug 2017 21:01:52
Rooney God love him is no longer a spearhead, definitely a no 10, yet those that know an awful lot more than me disagree. Hey Ho.

Calm down it's just a commercial.

Agree1 Disagree0

03 Aug 2017 21:42:12
What we have always needed is match winners who can win games and we have signed 3. Sandro, Rooney and Klassen add to that Siggurdson and a target man and we will be fine next season.

Agree0 Disagree0

Will be very interesting to see how Davies gets on as a right wing back. Boys not blessed with pace but has an engine. Unless we are playing 4 at the back and Jags is playing right back?

Believable2 Unbelievable0

03 Aug 2017 19:24:23
Midfield and attack are the perfect choice for what we have.
Pickford is no brainer but abit confused with defence. Would of liked Holgate Keane jags baines to be honest.

Agree3 Disagree0

03 Aug 2017 19:37:14
Davies is just the man for right-back. Was only thinking that he is the man for that position last night. Can't see how Svenny thinks that he has no pace. Don't you remember the goal against City last season? His passion and energy is needed in the team and don't forget all the great through balls he played last season!

Hi guys a fellow toffee here. I'm a long time lurker but a first time poster. I really love reading the rumours and banter pages and have done so daily for well over 2 years. I'd just like to say the input and relevant information we get from the various Eds is first class.

Anyway back to the game against Ruzomberok (7:45 kick off on ITV4) tonight. I'm not a negative supporter by any means but I can recall how frustrated I was with the teams performance last week. It was just so slow going forward and lots of passes across the pitch not really doing anything with our possession. Saying that we still got the win so I was eventually happy after the final whistle went. I celebrated like a lunatic!

As lots of you guys have said it will take time for the team to gel and I totally agree. I'm praying for a much better performance tonight and hope we try and kill the game off early. 0-3 to our lads is what I'm predicting.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - welcome howie, its not easy when players have not played together are trying to form a team, it will come but its going to take a bit of time so patience is the key for us supporters mate..

03 Aug 2017 18:33:11
Cheers Ed025 for the welcome. I definitely agree it will take time with so many new players in the first team squad. Obviously some supporters will always be impatient and expect instant success especially with what will be the usual look at the money we've spent remarks. I'm looking at the quality and depth we are adding to the squad positions rather than looking at how much each player has cost. I can't remember ever being so excited for the season to start. I'm not expecting miracles this season, I'm trying to keep myself grounded and not get carried away with it all. I'll be quietly hoping we can challenge for a top 6 spot. Any improvement in the league position is good in my book.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - being realistic is the key howie mate..

03 Aug 2017 19:13:59
Dont worry about last week they defended well which was their plan but they need a goal now which will open the game up and our better players will exploit this.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - lets hope s willy..

03 Aug 2017 19:19:32
Welcome Howie. You've done well to not post for 2 years and only read best make up for it now eh?

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Aug 2017 19:19:44
im hoping to challenge top 4 to be honest but top 6 will do as it shows progress considering the players had only been together 4 weeks last week I was pleased with how we played some nice little moves which bodes well for the future remember the future is bright the future is blue.

Hi eds, just been reading we might be interested in dolberg from Ajax now they have been dumped out of the champions league, but would this effect his availability to play for us in the Europa league, obviously if we are actually interested in him.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - No.}

03 Aug 2017 19:22:40
Dolberg looks class. Was watching him last night, justchas an air of quality arrogance about him, far more so than the Celtic demble I was keeping an eye on last night as well, they seemed chalk and cheese to me. Doubt we could attract either though. Bigger things await for both.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Aug 2017 18:07:13
We were interested in kasper dolberg a while back ed25 said it had gone quiet some weeks ago other posters said he was staying at Ajax for another season. I'd be made up if we were back in for him. So ed2 is your no a difinitive no that we are not in for him or are you saying that it wouldn't stop him playing for us in the europa cup should we sign him taking your . } as a sneaky clue.
Ps just wanted to say thanks to all the eds for hosting this site and helping us through the close season and transfer window etc
