I lived in Belgium for 4 years, believe me the standard of football is at best equivalent to Scottish Premiership setting apart Celtic. Evertons massive outlay on those such as Klassen, were handed a huge wakeup call today by a Team that would struggle in our 1st Division.

I would not read too much into friendlies Bill other than positives.

Their season also starts next week so are much further along in their season preparations, when 12 August comes around I'm confident we will be much better.

Errr, our season starts next week too! 😂
I'm sure there'll be a slightly different mentality and a better rhythm to the team though and we'll be through.

I think you will find the premier league starts on 11th August which for all 43 years of my life isn't one week after 23rd July. I assume you are talking about the european game on thursday which hardly qualifies.

How doesn't playing a competitive match next week qualify as our season starting? A game which, if we don't win, we see us hardly qualify for the europa leagues proper! Or are we just having a game of heads and volleys?
