Everton vs Villarreal (Duncan Ferguson's Testimonial)

Barkley on for Kone. So we then have no striker on the pitch at the beginning of the 2nd half.... Naismith is up front, but he's about the size of my 11 year old daughter.

And we are underway.

Villareal with more intensity in this half. They are seeing much more of the ball.

McCarthy subbed for McAleny.

Maybe it's because it's a bit hard to hear on this computer feed, but the crowd is very quiet. One can hear the individuals shout.

Long balls in the air towards Naismith. Perfect tactics....

0-2.

Coleman with the assist, if you will, on that goal.

Nais is getting manhandled, he needs to be playing off a striker.

Another VR goal ffs

We should sell both full backs the way they are playing today

And we finally have the ball in the oppositions box!

coleman muscled out of it so easily for their second.

I know, just a testimonial, wait til the real games etc etc but we are fucking dire. Nothing at all up front and weak at the back. Relegation battle ahead.

I think the only microphone is the one with the cameramen. The crowd noise is probably only available with commentary

For those who can't hear the crowd noise:

Not sure which game you are watching mate, but this just in from Martinez:

"It was a fantastic effort from the lads. They were showing excellent effort and we were truly unlucky to lose 0-X (fill in at the end of the game). With the fantastic work effort we put in, one couldn't really ask for anything else from the players."

Stones injured

So close to 0-3.

If I were him, I'd be begging Bill for a transfer.

Rooney is more than likely mighty impressed from the sidelines.

Stones limps off

Stones subbed. Browning on.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we are in for a loooooong season.....

Rooney gets a massive reception from the crowd - great to see.

Off the post, fook.

Really weird seeing Rooney back in an Everton shirt.

Wow, should have been 0-3, Howard with a finger tip save. Corner.

Rooney is in on goal and the crowd goes bonkers, but he's deemed to have been offside...
