Everton were without Pistone, Tal and Chadders who all picked up slight knocks last night. Also missing was Scot, Stevie Wat, Nace and Rodrigo . Everton are keeping the Brazilian for the Shrewsbury game to see if can impress. He was seen in JJB Sports today trying to change his Puma Kings from an 8 and a half to a 9 but if Moysey let's him go then it will be obvious he was too big for his boots! Good news is Duncan was supposedlyS fit enough to play.

The game kicked off late in this small village apparantly twinned with Morcambe in Lancs, you know the one Morcambe & Weiz!

After a shaky start this turned into a rout, with both Wayne Rooney & Kevin McLeod getting their first senior hat tricks. Also our trialist with a name like a Northern Ireland newspaper, Omar Daley got off the mark as did Leon Osman. The aptly named Grabner got a couple for the Austrians to draw them level at 2-2 but in the end it was a stroll.

Surprise, surprise? Only squad player not to get a game was.....? Big Dunc!

10 - 2 is that the time or the score? Next up Shrewsbury away on Saturday at 3pm let's give the Rat a rousing cheer and have a great day out. Come on you Blues!
