Match Thread Bournemouth 0-1 Everton. Tue Dec 2. 7.30

Well he did nothing for me in most games before the Fulham game but we all have different opinions about the same player and when we win nothing matters but the result it keeps us all happy or it should do !

He is a stand out for me even when we lose

 

[dachshund]

Again, that's nonsense.

Diving right in with the antagonism, are we

Individually Michael Keane has been decent this season, but as has been proven so many times over the last nine years his erratic presence freaks our whole defence out as makes us vulnerable. O’Brien was excellent tonight and made Tarkowski and Mykolenko seem more settled as well.

Balance was somehow better across the pitch tbh. Garner at right back is the best option in that position for now. Same with KDH deeper and Alcaraz ahead of him.

One thing that is true of this team is it has got a bit of heart about it. Bad games haven’t turned into spirals like they have in recent seasons. Credit to the manager in that regard, and players like Grealish and KDH who have improved standards across the board.

Moyes often performs when there's no expectation. Reminds me of beating City in 2013, after losing to Wigan at home. Getting draw at Chelsea after losing 4-1 to West Brom. One thing about Moyes is when we have backs to wall, he gets results, it's when we have to take it to teams it goes wrong.

Would like to see more of Alcaraz.

Yep. Have little faith we'll back this up on Saturday. But, deserves credit for 3 wins and clean sheets in 4.

Shame there was one of our worst performances in years in the middle. As mentioned earlier, we are a bit bewildering.

That's just not true. We lose game because teams with the sorts of players we have had don't win every game. It's nothing to do you with Moyes. That's all a childish myth.

Rob a bank.

 

[banno]

Best team won. Thought we played really well against a team that is unbeaten at home

 

[ToffeeTim]

Did not see the game but it seems like we were really strong defensively and limited them to very few shots. They are obviously very strong at home so to get 3 points is a very good result. Now can we follow it up with a positive result at home on Saturday.

He'll miss the forest game though unfortunately

Rather he missed that than Chelsea and Arsenal tbf

 

[evertony]

Well done Everton, told you, you could beat them

Your turn tomorrow to pump the sh1yte

Personally I disagree sometimes Moyes went to Chelsea, Arsenal or even Man United and we ended up getting something when nobody expected us to. Man City away in 2010 before Christmas comes to mind. Chelsea 2007 and Arsenal 2010 games come to mind. One thing about Moyes is that he came, give players kick up backside and we come out all guns blazing after a poor performance. Martinez didn't have that ability, we'd have decent runs, we'd go on losing streaks nothing inbetween. A good thing about Martinez is he'd go into every game with same mentality. Martinezs weakness was he'd go into every game with same mentality. We played better with 10 men at Old Trafford, because there was no expectation we would win. I'm convinced if Gana Gueye hadn't been sent off we wouldn't have won

That's actual quantifiable progress
