Was the first half possibly Ralph exposing the weaknesses in the squad when our first teamers are out, i.e right back, centreback and right midfield, to prove to the men in control of the money that our current reserves aren't good enough?
Looking at their squad I can't see anyone I would consider in both categories of Everton being prepared to let go and us wanting them, with the exception of perhaps Yannick Bolasie.
Even Reed before a full seasons experience with Fulham was better than the performances we're seeing from Hojberg. I'll be really annoyed if we waste an opportunity to gain £25million or thereabouts without needing to sign a replacement player.
I'm not even trying to criticise the lad, I just genuinely don't know what it is about his game that's supposed to stand out. Can anyone tell me? Is his passing supposed to be top drawer? Can he beat a man? Is he tough in the tackle? Can he finish? Because I haven't seen him stand out at anything so far.
Vestergard and Hojberg sold to find our transfers in the summer please, with Adams bumped down to fourth choice striker.
Really impressed with Vokins.
Smallbone did absolutely nothing, not actually sure what his strengths are supposed to be he seems bang average at best in every department.
