If you started at Leeds, you'll be on the bench for Watford?

It would be fair to assume that many of those who started today’s game at Elland Road will not be in the 11 to face Watford in a week’s time.

Joel Robles remains Tim Howard’s understudy, the Blues youthful backline will make way of Phil Jagielka and co while last season’s midfield regulars will come back in.

And too, we hope and pray, will Romelu Lukaku.

James McCarthy, replaced at half-time here, is surely the only starter from this game who will be on the pitch at kick-off next weekend when the Premier League season begins again.

On today’s performance, Ross Barkley, Steven Naismith and Bryan Oviedo are not going to be among the first 11 names on the teamsheet although Arouna Kone’s place is dependent on the state of Lukaku’s legs.

Everton’s four Academy players who started against Leeds handled themselves well, as did Tyias Browning who marshalled the defence.

But the rest of the starting 11? They will hardly have given Roberto Martinez a selection headache.

Tom Cleverley continues to impress, though

The summer recruit was one of two half-time substitutions Martinez made at Elland Road.

And Cleverley, along with Conor McAleny, added an urgency, direction and quality that Everton were lacking in a lethargic first-half.

The question, however, is where would the manager play him?

Cleverley picked Everton over a host of other clubs because he trusted Martinez to get the best out of him.

The 25-year-old – and Martinez – believe that is as an attacking midfielder, as one of the three to line-up behind the lone striker in the Everton side.

Cleverley has impressed this summer but the bulk of his performances have come in a deeper role.

Whether that has been because of circumstance, rather than design, and because Martinez knows his new signing is comfortable in any midfield position or because the manager has changed his thinking, who knows?

But what is for certain is that Cleverley is in the running for a place in the side against Watford.

Tyias Browning has been the unsung hero of pre-season

There’s been plenty of talk about Everton’s young defenders in recent weeks.

But, flying under the radar with minimal fuss, has been Tyias Browning.

While John Stones is the subject of a public transfer tug-of-war and Brendan Galloway’s stock continues to rise, Browning has quietly gone about making his own statements.

The Everton fans who have managed to watch his performances since July will have seen a maturing young centre-half perform solidly, steadily and, at times, stylishly.

Browning, however, does not earn the plaudits as easily as Stones and Galloway but his development from under-21 defender to first-team squad member has been smooth and swift.

A loan move remains likely for the 21-year-old but it won’t be long before Browning his putting pressure on those in the first team.

It's been a frustrating time for Steven Naismith

Captain for the day, Everton’s Scottish dynamo will have been desperate to impress.

But it just didn’t happen for Naismith. In truth, it’s not happened for him all summer.

The 28-year-old has ran as hard as anyone in blue this summer, chased as many balls down, tried as many defence-splitting passes and attempted to offer Everton a spark as much as the next player.

But it just hasn’t happened.

And, not for the first time this summer, Naismith cut a frustrated figure here.

Moves breaking down, poor passes from himself or a team-mate and both of Leeds’ goals all left him exasperated, annoyed and wondering when his luck is going to turn.

Naismith has been forced to fight his way back into form before and, in Martinez’s first season, he did that with emphatic results.

Replaced with 15 minutes to go, Naismith had his head bowed as he left the pitch.

Martinez made sure to offer to shake his hand because he knows that he’s desperate to find some form.

Everton are not short of left-backs

Such is Everton’s luxury of left-backs that Luke Garbutt has been allowed to spend the season out on loan.

It’s a decision that has not sat comfortably with some supporters but the Blues are hardly lacking options in that position.

Leighton Baines remains first-choice, the returning Bryan Oviedo provides an international-class understudy while Brendan Galloway – being primed as a centre-half for the future – filled in there for the final two games of last season and was excellent.

Now Everton have offered another taste of first-team action to the latest player to drop off their left-back production line: Antonee Robinson.

The 17-year-old – named Everton under-18s player of the year – followed his cameo against Dundee on Tuesday night with 90 minutes at Elland Road.

Robinson, who goes by the nickname ‘Jedi’, shook off some early jitters to deliver an accomplished performances for someone so young.

Quick feet, decent in the air and with the confidence to attack, Robinson showed flashes of why he is so highly-rated at Everton.

There’s a long queue ahead of him but he looks like an Everton left-back of the future.
