Morton vs Everton

Good overall performance by the Blues. Completely dominant in the shot stats and possession, with 61%-39% possession, and 19 shots to 3. Great finishing from the goalscorers, however, not much can be taken from this performance, until Everton have been matched against stronger opposition.
Man of the Match: Louis Saha
Blackpool vs Everton

Poor performance from what was a pretty strong Blues side. Not the result expected against a lower league side, however, Everton did have many positives in the game. For example, Blackpool only had the one shot and ended up with the goal for that. Again, Everton on top on the possession ratings, but were stongly thwarted by a battling Blackpool side.
Man of the Match: Rob Edwards ( Blackpool )

Great performance, and much improved from the Blackpool game slip-up. Away from home, and lacking in possessiojn, the Blues had the gile and ability to take chances when they were on offer. Only 3 clear cut chances given to the Everton players, but resulted in 3 goals, giving the Blues fans a good overall performance
Man of the Match: John Heitinga

Blues fans were extremely pleased by the performance of the Blues players. A great clean sheet and another 3-goal game. Slightly took the possession ratings, and again being away from home, seems a half-decent achievement. Everton now seem to know where the goal is, and the strikers seem to be getting their scoring boots on, maybe enabling Everton to challenge the Top 4.
Man of the Match: Tim Cahill
Bury vs Everton

Another clean sheet, and again 3 goals from the Blues. A great debut from new signing Oscar Cardozo, who dominated the Bury defence, and helped himself to a goal-scoring debut. Possession split at 50-50, again showing the added finishing ability that Everton now possess. Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard, now has two consecutive clean sheets, going 180 minutes without conceding a goal.
Man of the Match: Oscar Cardozo

Fantastic play from the Blues at Deepdale. We lacked in possession, but was expected considering to the fact we were away from home. Again the Blues showed the precision finishing with two fantastic finishes. Again Tim Howard, joined in with the fantastic performances, making a string of saves, to ensure he has now gone 3 games without conceding, or 270 minutes, without a goal going in against the Everton defence. So happy times for Everton fans.
Pre-Season results:
Games: 6
Wins: 5
Draws: 1
Losses: 0
Goals Scored: 16
Goals Conceded: 2
Next update, will be at the end of the September month, (game time), should be some time later tonight
