Everton fans would largely have been happy to see Frank Lampard's line-up for the match against Minnesota United.
Not necessarily because of the personnel involved, although it did strike as a stronger side than was used at the start against Arsenal. In essence, most still want to see a lot of new signings added to the squad before the transfer window comes to an end.
