I'm pleased to see a mature and measured response to this setback.

Setback?

Moyes says it here, if the players continue to make mistakes like that they will be changed.... that is a warning to them all.

Changed?
A minimal squad.
Right oh Dithers

No later wants

Nothing we didn't know before the game ,


Don't overreact .
Do you honestly think any player gives a toss about how a team is doing in a friendly.
You could look at it another way , any half decent player knows he gets game time if he signs.
You can't fix it overnight, new owners, board in place a few weeks as regards to tranfer team ect.
Especially with so many players out of contract all at once, thank the last board for allowing that to happen not this lot.

No player wants to come to a team who look like they'll be in a bottom of the table scrap and there's a possible risk of relegation, especially if they have options, which better players do. It's not as if we'll offer a ton of money more than their other options. This does make a difference.

Bournemouth have done brilliantly in appointing excellent managers over the last few years. Unless Iraola leaves, they'll do very well again this season. It's not that their players are better than ours; he just adds a lot of value to the team.

Lost kerkez and huijsen. You can almost guatentee they'll just replace them with ease.
Their set up is they always seem to have two players for every position. They're Bournemouth. We're 20 times the size. We've hardly got 1 player for each position.

Yeah.

Fitness excercise.

The contract issue was the doing of the previous, mental regime which the current owners and manager have to sort out.

I’ve basically rewritten your post in my own words there.

Setback?

Sorry, sorry, utter catastrophe of a result that signals the untimely demise of Everton FC.

 

[NeilMorepies]

I know it's a friendly and all that but that performance not a good advert for persuading potential signings to come and join us.

Yup, and people seem to forget it’s also a friendly for the other teams as well.

Moyes looking well peed off post match, but still not sure why some more of the youth team lads never travelled, especially with the injuries etc.

 

[fandjango]

I can’t remember how many times we’ve had terrible, terrible and preseason scores and results and a different performance on the first day of the season chill guys, honey. Penny says the sky is falling down. It probably isn’t.

I would suggest that he has taken the youth players he feels are worth taking. Its a friendly competition. We looked by far the better team in the first half, then (I think) they changed almost their entire team before we made a single sub. Our most important players going forward were given minutes in the legs. I was encouraged by Barry's introduction. He looked quick across the pitch, hopefully we'll see more of him as we play the next game.

My takeaway from it is that we have an obvious need to improve, but also obvious area within which to make those improvements. Gives a clear idea on what has to be done.

Maybe so mate, and Moyes being the pragmatist won’t take players he has no intention of using, so I get that.

Barry looked decent and can do a number of attacking jobs for us I think, could be an astute signing.

Need several more like him though.

Was encouraged by the 1st 45 but seemed to loose ideas in the 2nd
Clear we need to get players in quickly as these playing in this tournament will need a rest before season even starts

 

[TyphooToffee]

Going for 3-0 to Bournemouth.

And next week's lottery numbers?

It's not just about the result. Its that we have a smaller squad than what we finished last season with and as it currently stands, we wouldn't be able to compete
