Pre-season Friendlies

[claretburns]

Just had a check on who was playing today and can see Everton are 3-0 down at Blackpool after 15 minutes and the Everton team is:

Pickford
Brathwaite
Calvert-Lewin
Davies
Digne
Gordon
Holgate
Iwobi
Kean
Kenny
Sigurdsson

To say Blackpool haven't played since March, competitively and Premier League only finished a few weeks ago, not all is looking good on the blue half of Merseryside.

We lost at Crewe last year remember

I know pre-season friendlies can throw up some weird scores, but even so that's a shocking start for the Toffees, one thing though Michael Keane can be absolved of any blame, I guess they'll be a few changes at HT, to give the rest of their squad a run out, Pitchfork shipping goals again, how long can he remain 1st choice at Goodison.

A baptism of fire for Stephen Ward at Ipswich, 3 down to Spurs after only 30 minutes. A brace for Son.

Colne a goal down to Lancaster!

Pitchfork - not long if he continues giving goals away

Keane - must have signed for Barcelona:D

Good news - I was once involved with the Dolly Blues

Was that a Neil Baldwin kind of role?

Not at all although that would have been marvellous.

Everton got a draw, finished 3-3

So England's number one shipped 3 to a L1 team, that hardly builds confidence ahead of Southgate's squad announcement.

I'm not one to take much notice of results in friendlies, obviously it's nice to win though

Michael Jackson, manager of Tranmere, has just mentioned in an interview that they will be playing us in a friendly. Alex James from Lancashire Live has just tweeted the info.

Liverpool starting the way they mean to go on, a 3-0 win over Stuttgart, they're relentless aren't they.

I had a list and they weren’t on it. Assume it will be an additional game. Will be interesting organising friendlies though with Football League clubs all playing on 5th & 12th Sep.

Pulled it back to 3-3

Shame fans aren't allowed, it is bound to be a thriller.

Pickford didn't play 2nd half, I believe.

[Woodleyclaret]

Pickford didn't play first half either !

[tiger76]

Pickford didn't play 2nd half, I believe.

How strange and they kept a clean sheet then, I'm sure there's no connection between the two whatsoever.

[kritichris]

I always went to pre-season friendlies and we were always crap getting beat by the likes of Southport but it was a day out with a bit of footie. I can remember Rocky waving a bin about shouting we were rubbish, probably the Southport match, but who cares.

Surprised you didn't shoot it down seeing as its from Lancs Live

If you mean Tranmere, it came from their manager.
