Does anyone have a link for the game tonight? No doubt EvertonTV will fail again so anyone know where we can watch it? Cheers.

Let's make this the Matchday Thread.
A few cases of mistaken identity but good photos none the less! Now follow that meal with a good performance against the all-stars please, Blues.

Odd line up, but I suppose it’s all we’ve got available.
Is Nev going to play right wing then? Or Cahill maybe?

All white kit? Guess we know what the 3rd kit looks like now then
No Lloyd, that is the black/pink kit after one wash...
Another insomniac signing in. Hopefully young Wallace can get off the bench as he has looked good against both Bury and Rochdale
4/1 on the draw on betfair wasnt bad..
Osman operating quite well out there on the left...some good passing
That’s the way! 1-0
King Louis the ginger prince
moving it around pretty well. look comfortable. saha just gifted a goal by a kid who looks like he would be more comfortable as the 5th member of n sync

I know this exposes my embarrasing knowledge of boy bands but wasnt there 5 members of ny sync already.

yeh i think youre right maybe i was thinking of backstreet boys. to avoid getting into a boyband discussion......... yobo looks in total control tonite. hes dominating thier front players. def bodes well with jags out and city sniffing round lescott
Yobo lost his man there
Wow I look a mug now, I swear my feed went down whilst they scored.
No line ups lads? This is looking a far inferior service to the one Nick Marsh gave the other night ;)
Can’t get the live feed or find a text commentary. Any chance of a few more details about what’s happening, please?

Fantastic save by Howard

Hope we start accounting for these opposition players in our penalty box by season start
Timmy!

Osman and Cahill have switched flanks in midfield
Class save from Howard there...free header to the MLS
Class save from Howard there...free header to the MLS
Another excellent save by Howard...shot from distance
Disastrous chip into the box with numbers there by Rodwell...well overhit
Overall Rods perfoming reasonably well anchoring midfield

Lescott close to a spectacular own goal
MLS is looking better. I suppose it takes a while to get on the same page when you’ve never played together...
MLS dominating possession the last 10 odd mins
Nice one Alex but you’ve got Bainesy down there twice . Guess you mean Hibbo. Easy mistake that mate.
Saha is a little isolated up front we need to support him quicker. It is difficult to make a judgement on one half of a friendly game but there is more evidence that Cahill and Fellaini cannot play together in the same team unless one of them is a striker
Well if you ask me we've been garbage. People on here who say we don't need a holding midfield player because weve got Neville and Rodwell to play there are seriously wrong, they've been shite the pair of em, giving ball away all the time and just generally playing shit.
Hibbert as shown why Moyesy is looking for a new full back, utter shite!, we seriously need some new quality players on board before the season starts, were not going to do a repeat of last season with the current squad, we will seriously struggle big time in my opinion if we dont get in the correct quality of player in this summer!.
Be nice to have to Bainesy’s! One on each flank
We looked (as usual) great in first 10 mins.
Then just struggling to get it to anyone.
Lescott should have headed back to Howard like Jags usually does. Instead heading to the left, made if difficult for Baines against Casey and from there on, the ball just passed in and past Howard.
Still, we can win this!

Had a bright opening 15 minutes, in total control without making an opening but gifted onto a poor back pass and Saha finished well.
Since then we have been fortunate that we havent conceded 3-4 goals. Poor in midfield, Fellaini lost , Rodwell being given the run around by Ljunberg and Neville nowhere to be seen.
Yobo and Lescott not working together at all , and other than Howard who has kept us in it believe it or not best players are Osman, Hibbert, Saha.
No creativity at all and Baines very quiet going forward.

Players who look a bit off...Baines, Rodwell. i thought Osman did quite well on LM. Defence looks shakey. Good goal by Saha and looks fit.
Howard and Ossie our best players so far.
Hibbo a few wayward passes late on after a very solid start
Lescott probably trying not to get injured
Yobo very solid so far, though bears some fault for the goal. Did not account for the man closing in behind him.
Baines not doing too much. Missing Peanuts most likely.
Rods as above. A few very poor passes; fair to middling day at the office.
Fellaini with some incisive passing early on. Has faded, perhaps wilting under his barnet in the heat.
Pip anonymous.
Cahill also a bit anonymous.
Saha as above, increasingly isolated as game has worn on. Has a world class shot on him. Looks ready for the season.

Slapstick pub defending from the defence there. Expected the pies to start flying.
Did I miss something? Where is Pienaar?
Jo warming up...on for the Big Fella
Pienaar not available for whatever reason. Hope just a knock in training

Freekick on the right flank, very nice ball from Ossie. Last ditch header from MLS at far post with Yobo looming
Keller back on for MLS after his replacement injured himself. Moyes having a good laugh, sportingly letting the subbed goalie return.
Saha getting stuck in...not sure if that is a good idea
Not sure about this American commentator...says we need another striker and a left back!
Still 1-1? Internet messing up big time.. What minute we on?
Penalty shoot out if it is level lets play for them
74 game in a real lull
penalties if even at 90 mins
penalties if even at 90 mins
Saha having to cover in the midfield and back 4 !!!!!!
Donovan missed a totla sitter with only Howard to beat at point blank range off the left post.
It does seem odd that Jo and Saha are both on the pitch put not playing up front together
Wallace on...must have missed that. For Cahill I think...
Very nice work from Wallace...engineered a chance there, cross from Hibbo to Jo...headed back across 6 yard box
Baines with an excellent free kick from left flank. Jo just over with a stooping header
Baxter off the line with Howard beaten
We are very sloppy,poor 1st touches,poor communication,but defensively better
Wonder why Pienaar in not playing?
Baxter is doing very well in RMid (on for Ossie I think) Very creative so far
Howard is my MOTM.
Game saving save from Howard ...header at point blank range. Lescott not interested in the chance
Fancy Howard to win us this penalty shootout
howard clearly MOTM... not good performance at all.. midfield looked gick and Jo couldnt hold his breath never mind the ball..
poor.. baxter looks tidy.. rodwell shoulda gone in fairness

And the 4/1 shot comes in. The 100% record for the all stars comes to an end. Who is going to take the fifth penalty now Jags is out

Ljundberg doing his best Berbatov there with the floopy miss
MLS stars finally beaten although over penalties.
WON 4 : 3 ON PENALTIES, after 6 each.
Howard brilliant all night , our best player by a country mile.
Vaughan & Jo missed, Baines, Neville, Rodwell and Lescott scored.
Howard made 3 fantastic saves in penalties and about 6 in the game itself.

Everton generally very poor after the first 30 mins. No injuries though!
Wow... that's a big trophy!!!
Goof Lord...the trophy looks like the old Fair’s Cup...it’s huge
We look good in the white kit too...
Thanks to all who provided updates. Tried those links and all I got was a still-shot. When I clicked on the play arrow, bugger-all happened except a little rotating wheel effect. Serves me right for trying to watch the game on a work computer probably.
Great to have another trophy ;)
Looks like to win penalties, we must bizarrely sky the first ball.
Vaughan in Cahill stylez! ;)
HOWARD MVP!! Great game to watch.
Glad to take the day off work.. lol

There’s one trophy in the bag. Lets fill the rest cabinet with hardware this year.
Oh, on a lesser note.
Baines is a class player but runs central too often, leaving a great gap exposed for their right winger. Gotta learn to close that!
The all white uniforms look tops!!

’ol Phil’s getting good at those penalty kicks, eh?
It’s pre-season, we won, Howard was brilliant, be happy! I am!
