Season preview/ThFc previewHet begin van een nieuw tijdperk (Start of a new Era)Well here we go again, the start of a new season always heralds a much needed injection of enthusiasm but more so this season for Everton with it being all change at the top.
We enter the season with a new owner (his first full season in charge, a new top scout or director of football if you want to call it that, and most importantly we have rid ourselves of a Spaniard in much need of the Priory clinic for delusion (Do they care for that? They should do) & brought in a bit of Dutch courage in the form of Koeman who has already shown in his press conference that we will get much needed honesty.
We havent so far had any major signings which we were promised but what we have for Sat game is Idrissa Gueye who I can't say stood out particularly for Villa last year but if it means less sightings of McCarthy then it can only be a good thing.
The only other change for the opener will be the decision of which goalkeeper starts as the new number 1.
I heavily suspect it will be Koeman's first signing Stekelenburg who appears to edged ahead thankfully of the hapless, accident waiting to happen Joel.
With doubts to Coleman and Lukaku and Williams not ready for football we are looking shaky for the season opener.
My team is Howard....nope he isn't here, Stekelenburg
Holgate Jag Mori Baines
Barry Gueye
Lemon Ross Mirallas
Geri ( Not my choice but we have no one else it seems with Kone rubbish, and the Swiss lad virtually unseen in pre season)
Would love to start the new season positive but as ever I am realistic, and can only see a Spurs victory. 3-1 to North Londoners.
P.s I apologise of behalf of Google Translate if I have offended/got wrong the opening line!
