In a 3-1 pre-season friendly victory over Newcastle at Murrayfield Stadium, Everton displayed a strong performance according to fan David Downie from The Blue Room podcast. Downie praised Everton's victory, describing it as "much more like it" and well-deserved. He singled out Tyrique George and Harrison Armstrong, stating that they looked ready to join the first team immediately.
Downie highlighted Armstrong's impressive display, particularly in his natural position in central midfield. He noted that Armstrong's play complemented Hayden Hackney, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, and the overall team dynamics well. Armstrong's ability to change the pace, lay off passes, and constantly look for forward passes made him a vital player. Downie questioned why Armstrong hadn't been playing regularly in this role and why he hadn't received more game time.
Regarding George, Downie described him as a "natural player" with a wealth of skill. He expressed curiosity about George's absence from regular playing time, suggesting that the player might have been overlooked by David Moyes or is only showing his talent now. George's goal was particularly impressive, showcasing his ability to cause trouble every time he received the ball. Downie concluded by emphasizing that George is a player who will create problems for opponents consistently.
