Match Thread Bournemouth vs Everton

[deipnosophist]

OK, we're playing this nemesis (away) team this weekend. Our recent record down at their gaff is nothing short of 'Everton that'. I harbour fear their front-line might spend the afternoon asking our back 4 how the hell they forgot, given our recent capitulations against them, their lube.
Discussion is welcomed.

First.

Big test this and probably a good guide as to where our season will go

This will decide the title for sure

OK. I'll start ... we need to have a 2 goal cushion with 5 minutes to go to ensure 3 points...

...so 4-3 to them

Everton that

Watford and Bournemouth are flying out of the gates. I am not betting on this game...because I never bet against Everton

 

[Bluebonic]

This is the first decent test, a good home team and one we have recently been jinxed against! Hopefully, Marco will have drilled some more sexy routines into them in which case we win by two exceptionally well practiced set plays!

the bookies are as undecided on this one as I am. I suggest it'll be a good game for the neutral...plenty of goals

 

[TheBigIguana]

Both teams to score is nailed on here. Hopefully we come out on the higher side of the scoring



Cue boring nil nil

If we score more goals than Bournemouth, we'll have a good chance of winning this. A draw wouldn't be a terrible result, although an early away win would work wonders for confidence. A good test for Silva this.

I like Bournemouth tbf, they dont stop for a second and we will have to be better than we were at Wolves to beat these. Eddie Howe has them running till the last peep of the whistle so we had better be a match.
3-3

 

[deipnosophist]

This will decide the title for sure

which title?...'the entertainers?'...possibly...but as @TheBigIguana references, it is more than likely that the "Everton that' curse insists a 0-0 bore-fest.
I guess it's why I love Everton...they're as all over the unpredictable shop as I am...

I was working during the 3-3 game a few years back and had the chance to check twitter and saw we scored to go ahead and I figured we won. Didn't know about the equalizer until an hour later. A real kick in the teeth

You need a LOT of teeth to withstand all the 'Everton that' moments/kicks/punches we're privileged to endure... but to paraphrase that German bloke: what doesn't kill you, makes you more philosophic...

This’ll be tough.

0-17

Up Everton
