The second half side once again outworked and outperformed the first half side. 75’: Bury 1, Everton 1 Cuco Martina is on now for a lacklustre Sandro Ramirez. The Spaniard got plenty of time and saw a lot of the ball, but wasted the one golden chance he got. One assumes Silva is on the phone right now to Marcel Brands about pulling the trigger on Malcom. 63’: Bury 1, Everton 1 Oumar Niasse has been a livewire since he came on at the break, and managed to hit the right post three separate times in thirteen minutes! The Sengalese striker finally gets his just rewards, bulldozing over the Bury centerhalves and slamming the rebound home. Half Time: Nine changes at the break Niasse, Vlasic, Klaassen, Connolly, Besic, Kenny, Pennington, Williams, Robinson all come on. Only Sandro and Stekelenburg remain from the first half. First Half Summary: Bury 1, Everton 0 Everton go into the break down a well-taken goal by Neil Danns following a couple of botched clearances from a dangerous freekick right before the half. In other words, same old same old. The Blues certainly had their chances to score, with Leighton Baines, Kieran Dowell, Cenk Tosun and Kevin Mirallas all coming close. Everton were confident when it came to holding the ball, but sloppy when it was time to make it count. Dowell and Tom Davies struggled to be incisive, and it cut service off from the three forwards. Michael Keane and Phil Jagielka look like they just met, which is weird, since they’ve played a fair bit together. Pre-Game: Two changes from Saturday So Phil Jagielka steps in for Mason Holgate and Kevin Mirallas for Ademola Lookman as Marco Silva will attempt to have more balance between his first and second XI sides. | Team news is in at Gigg Lane for Marco Silva's first game on English soil as #EFC boss. Watch LIVE ➡️ https://t.co/YHRSobeHf5 pic.twitter.com/grIbyKvdus — Everton (@Everton) July 18, 2018 Background: Tougher challenge today Everton play their second game of the 2018-19 preseason today, with a trip to Gigg Lane to take on Bury. The Shakers are in fine form after holding the Blues’ Merseyside rivals Liverpool to a 0-0 draw at the Energy Check Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Blues meanwhile come into this game after having plundered 22 goals against hapless 5th Division Austrian side ATV Irdning. This will pose a bit more of a competitive challenge for the Toffees, despite Bury getting relegated from League One last season as they gear up for a quick return. The last time the two sides met was in a preseason game in July 2011 with Everton winning 4-1 after a brace from Magaye Gueye as well as goals from Aiyegbeni Yakubu and Leon Osman. | We're back in action against @buryfcofficial tonight (7.45pm k/o)!

For players like Yannick Bolasie, Kevin Mirallas, Muhamed Besic and Davy Klaassen, this might be shop window to show off what they have while youngsters like Kieran Dowell, Callum Connolly and Antonee Robinson will look to cement senior squad spots in the coming weeks.<doc-sep>A week after resuming training at Finch Farm, the Everton senior side were whisked off on a trip to the remote Austrian Alps where they have continued the preseason.

Michael Keane also highlighted that apart from the regular physical training done at this time of the season, new manager Marco Silva has made focusing on defensive shape an emphasis during the two weeks so far. “More work with the ball will come but we have obviously done that [type of work] as well. There has been a lot of focus on defending as a unit which is really good. As defenders, we’ve all got a good idea of what is expected of us on the pitch and that is what you need.” With Everton playing in their first friendly of the summer later today, fans will get their first chance to see Silva’ principles in action and how the squad has responded to the training. The Blues take on hosts ATV Irdning today at 4pm BST (11am EST), with a live stream available for season ticket holders and full members.<doc-sep>EVERTON have won Marco Silva’s first game in charge 22-0... in a pre-season friendly against ATV Irdning. The Toffees led 6-0 after just 17 minutes and 10-0 at halftime against the Austrian minnows in Marco Silva’s first game in charge, with Ademola Lookman, Cenk Tosun, Kevin Mirallas and Oumar Niasse all finishing off with hat-tricks. Ademola Lookman scored four times in the opening period in the Alps, as Cenk Tosun also scored a first-half hat-trick during the rout. Leighton Baines had given Everton the lead in the fifth-minute of the hastily arranged friendly. Mason Holgate scored four minutes later, before the Premier League side scored four goals in four minutes, through Michael Keane, Tosun (twice) and Lookman. Lookman and Tosun then shared another four goals as Everton went into halftime at a laughable 10-0. But it got better and better for Silva - as they were 13-0 up eight minutes into the second half. Despite making TEN changes at halftime, Kevin Mirallas ensured they kept up the rout - with a four-minute hat-trick, before adding his fourth seven minutes later for 14-0. Oumar Niasse then pitched in with two of his own either side of a Nikola Vlasic strike as Everton took a 17-0 lead with 15 minutes to play. Another late flurry of goals, including another for Mirallas and Niasse completing his hat-trick, saw the game end 22-0. Twenty two-nil. This story originally appeared in The Sun.<doc-sep>
This Saturday, Everton will play their first game of the pre-season programme against ATV Irdning. And it's a significant one. The match will be Marco Silva's first as Everton manager - just 48 hours after he celebrated his 41st birthday. Everton have been in Austria since Sunday for a training camp in the Alpine region, and this will be their first friendly. What is it? A pre-season friendly match in picturesque surroundings against a local team. The Austrian team is part of the Oberliga Nord League, and currently ranks 11th out of the 14 team division. What time is kick off? The match will kick off 5pm local time (4pm our time), on Saturday, July 14. Where is it being played? The game is taking place at the Austrian side's home ground, ATV Riesneralm in the Alps, providing a great landscape for players and fans alike. Everton won't have any trouble getting there though, as they are currently in the Alpine region as part of their pre-season training programme. The stadium has previously been used by other major teams as a training facility, including England and Real Madrid. How can I watch it? For Evertonians willing to fly out to Austria, tickets will be available to purchase on the day of the match, according to Everton's website who say that prices will be confirmed soon. Supporters will still be able to keep up with the match at home, as Everton is streaming the game live on its website. This will be free for We Are Everton members, Season Ticket holders and Lounge Members. Those without any of these memberships can take advantage of individual match passes that will be available on a pay-per-view basis, at £3.99 for each of the pre-season games being streamed. Our own Phil Kirkbride will be in Austria to cover all the action, so be sure to follow along on our website. Any team news? Most of Everton's team will be available to play on Saturday, with the exception of those out on international duty and on injury. England hero Jordan Pickford will be involved in a World Cup third/fourth place play-off. While the two other Everton players who made World Cup appearances, Iceland attacking midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson and Senegal defensive midfielder Idrissa Gueye, are not expected to play their first game of pre-season until the Algarve Cup on July 21. Everton's Austrian opponents have a relatively young squad, with their youngest player being 15, in comparison to Everton's youngest, Beni Baningime, being 19. They also have a striker called Kevin Plank. What's next for Everton? After playing in Austria, Everton will return home to face League Two team Bury on the 18th, before preparing for their involvement in the Algarve Football Cup. The friendly tournament will take place in the 3rd week of July, and will see Everton playing Lille and Porto at the Estadio Algarve. To round off their pre-season programme, the Blues will face Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park and Valencia at Goodison Park.
