Everton v Stoke City - Sat 27th Aug 2016 - 3pm

What are your expectations for the season?
To be honest, midtable (10th-12th), we haven't strengthened in key areas (up top and at centre-half) and feel that we will also be overtaken by a few teams who have splashed the cash this summer.

Which transfer signing are you most happy with and why?
Joe Allen. He was the one bright spark for us against City and looked to cover a lot of ground both going forward and defensively.

Which areas would Stokies like to strengthen if possible?
As mentioned above, centre-half and striker. However, I would like to see us bring in another wide option, decent goalkeeping cover (Givens past it In My Opinion) and possibly a young central midfielder for cover.

What are your thoughts after your opening matches?
Honestly, not too positive, especially considering the team was basically the same as at the end of last season. We need to sort out our defending in particular as we have been woeful at the back so far.

What is your view on Everton FC going into the season?
I think that Koeman is the right man for the job. You obviously have some excellent flair players, but I feel Koeman will get you organised defensively. Definetly top 8, possibly top 5-6.

How do you rate your team against that of Everton's?
I don't think there is a massive gulf in difference between the two sides, but I feel that you have obviously started the season reasonably well, whereas we haven't got going yet. The other main difference is the fact that you have a centre forward who can get you 15-20 goals a season, whereas we don't really seem to have that kind of out and out goalscorer in the team.

What do you think of our respective kits?
Smart but not too flashy on either side.

Which Stoke player would most improve Everton?
Probably Arnie - he would fit in with your style of play, plus he can chip in with a fair few goals.

Which Everton player would most improve Stoke?
Lukaku - We are crying out for a big powerful goalscorer and he fits the bill perfectly.

Can you predict the final score?
Don't like saying this but Everton 2-0 Stoke
