Pre-Season Friendly: Stuttgart 0 - 0 Everton [L]

Latest [10']

Everton conclude a two-game tour of Germany this afternoon against Vfb Stuttgart at the MHPArena.

Hayden Hackney starts but no chance of seeing new signing Christian Norgaard in action as he has failed to join the squad in Germany, where O'Brien and Branthwaite appear to be paired up together as centre-backs, with Rohl filling in again at right-back.

James Garner is still recovering from his 'minor' groin surgery.  

First Half

Jarrad Branthwaite led the team out, and the home side got things going, keeping the ball away from Everton for the most part. After Branthwaite halted a very dangerous move, Beto saw a chance to battle his way forward and did well until the final touch which gave the ball to a defender. 

O'Brien had to give away a corner, which almost led to a goal, the final shot missing the target from a narrow angle. Dibling had a little run forward with the ball but did not look at all comfortable. 

Hackney tried an advanced forward pass that was never on and Stuttgart attacked again, but Everton were seeing more of the ball after 10 minutes. 

 

 

 

Everton: Travers, Röhl, O'Brien, Branthwaite, Mykolenko, Iroegbunam, Dibling, Armstrong, Hackney, Alcaraz, Beto.

Subs: King, G Pickford, Lukjanciks, Patterson, Keane, Tarkowski, McNeil, Ndiaye, Barry, George, Dewsbury-Hall, Aznou, Graham, Campbell, Foster
