Match Thread Everton 0-2 Bournemouth FA Cup 8th Feb 2025

Every one of their players is faster than ours

 

[PITA]

Is @davek commentating?

Brighton were in a slump when we played them. They won the three previous away from home with the most recent being a 1-3 win at United. They also drew the four before the three wins.

Young Doucs and tarks are not performing well, Ndaiye and Lindstrom also uunder performing relative to previous couple of weeks.

Need some changes at HT - doucoure has to be the one to go off currently imo.

Doucs is 32

Mullard by their press.

Sloth will be putting the inhalers back in the cabinet for Wednesday at this rate

 

[FTY]

Good side these

 

[blueconverse]

Ref is garbage

 

[Efcjake]

The thing with Moyes is when it's good it's quite good and when it's bad it's quite dire.

 

[Efcjake]

Tarkowski, Beto, Doucoure. All having Shockers.

I've not seen Beto get the ball yet

 

[Walken]

Christ! Get Keane on

 

[lungo]

Tarkowski, Beto, Doucoure. All having Shockers.

lindstrom is crap the rest are on there usual level. Bournemouth have the better midfield.

 

[nsno_traditionally]

Not been this desperate for Charly since my uni days

 

[FTY]

The thing is the gap right now is one incredibly stupid decision. We aren’t good enough to have them.

2

One by the linesman and one by #6

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Bournemouth work really well off the ball. Cutting out easy passes and they know we don’t have the quality to beat a man (apart from N’Daiye) or play clever passes due to poor movement.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Agreed. And people saying this is like being back with dyche. It's not.

You can see we're playing with a similar shape to the Leicester game. Bournemouth are just a better side than they were and up until the penalty it was an even game. Need to make sure we don't concede again before half time, and we're still well in with a chance. I would take off young and doucs and bring on Harrison and alcaraz.

Even if it was like having Dyche back, I don’t think the odd relapse less than 4 weeks into a new regime after 2yrs of dark ages footy is all that surprising.

Crap? Yes. Saddening? Obvs. If someone had said, though, that we could have 3 wins and 2 losses in the first 5, most would have taken 9pts on the board over 6 + FA Cup progression.

Bournemouth in full control... shows how much we miss pace in our squad... desperately needed some in the last window
