There was one clear standout performer

Totally agree with Armstrong. Calm, composed, a quality player who, as mentioned, can replace Garner for the time being
What lessons are you taking away from that draw vs Bolton if you were David Moyes?

Don’t think there’s a bunch of criticism to give him today. Seemed to have changed his tune in terms of the renowned substitution stubbornness, but that’s more than likely due to the fact it’s a pre season friendly. But it’s little steps
Full-time at Bolton... not one to remember!

Glad a few of the academy lads got a run out. Plenty of subs coming on is good to see. Apart from that, pretty boring!

63' - Beto takes aim from the edge of the box. High, wide and not very handsome. Real lack of quality from Everton today. [0-0]

Slow, sluggish, but of course, it’s pre-season!
HOW HAS BARRY NOT SCORED? He'd done so well to create an attack and then failed to beat the goalkeeper from just yards out. [0-0]
ptrckbennett72d ago
Whispers of Beto to Forest... I know he's far from perfect but he always gives 100% and compared to Barry he's a Balon D'or contender and given the state of our recruitment team yet again he just cannot be let go!!

MORE ON GARNER'S INJURY: "The Blues midfielder has begun his rehabilitation at Finch Farm and is progressing as expected, with a return to first-team training being targeted around the opening week of the Premier League season, subject to his continued recovery." - Official

Not the end of the world!
HUGE NEWS! Everton announce Garner has undergone successful groin surgery as he misses today's game
calum_jones72d ago
Also states first-team training should be reached by the opening week of the season! Not ideal but could be worse
Where is Hayden Hackney? The only true new signing for Everton is missing yet again...
calum_jones72d ago
Very strange 👀 See what Moyes has to say soon… Hopefully Garner is back soon too!
NO TYLER DIBLING! Where does this leave his future at Everton?
gorriejonathan72d ago
Back to Saints? 👀

freddie72d ago
He needs to leave and get some game time! He’s too talented. No idea what Moyes’ problem is
What do you make of the starting XI to face Bolton?
calum_jones72d ago
Alcaraz winger? 🤔
calum_jones72d ago
Glad to see Branthwaite back in the starting 11, hope some of the academy lads get a run out as well. That’s what these games are for!

Fallout from the "M"-exico, "US", "C"-anada or the "Elon MUSC" Cup to give it its proper title to be rolled out this season. Given the climate, hydration breaks will be replaced by Bovril breaks. 1/2 time to be 30mins of Beatles tribute bands and Morris dancing. Fears re new cards rules for fouling in the box (Tarky) to be eased by Andy Burnham intervention!

The chatter just gets louder about the departure of "Illy" and as bad as that is in itself there is a lot saying that "maybe if his figure starts at £7 it wouldn't be too bad"??? Surely given recent transfers and his potential we should be insisting it should be starting at £12!!!
ptrckbennett72d ago
Agreed I would really love to know what the hell is going on with our "Recruitment" team!! I get we were scraping the barrel cash wise over the last few seasons but something is beginning to stink now!!
ptrckbennett72d ago
If they're putting as much effort in to keeping him as they supposedly are trying to bring in new signings we're in serious trouble
ptrckbennett72d ago
Definitely not but let's face it between our past history with talent and TFG activities so far it seems inevitable
Who do you want to see really turn a corner this summer at Everton?
steshaw195371d ago
Think Moyes needs to be giving them all plenty of game time during pre season. Seems player's we get are good prospects until Moyes gets to work with them,he's a joke!!
ptrckbennett72d ago
Barry to take a left or a right whatever turn he likes just so long as its out the door!
dantowen8195173d ago
Dibbling and Aznou, can’t pick between them! Dibbling more than anything I think needs to show a bit more intensity
