First half observations:
- The stream is good; got it on my TV via my Chromecast fine. That said, Chisnall is shite... glad they turned O'Keefe's mic up!
- Every game in pre-season we've knocked it long from the kick off
- Pressing them high up really worked in the early stages. We've dropped off though as the half went on
- Our best passing of pre-season today
- They're going through us too easily in midfield with both Ward and Anderson in there
- The high line still makes me very nervous at the back and we still look vulnerable; disappointing to concede from a corner
- Everton very slow to start admittedly, but we were excellent in that 10 minute burst and I imagine NC will be really annoyed to only be a goal up despite them waking up a bit as the half went on
- Really saw the benefits of us starting our pre-season much earlier than other teams in that first half; much fitter, much sharper (think this is Everton's first game?)
- Our corners have been poor again
- Going to give Ekpiteta the benefit of the doubt as Orient fans said he took some time to adjust to L2 last season, but I wouldn't have him starting at the moment
- Robson impressive. Neat and tidy on the ball and a great crunching tackle at one point
- Ward looks miles better with a pre-season under his belt
- If Hamilton can become more consistent with his end product we're laughing...
- Kaikai much more lively today
