Match Thread AFC Bournemouth v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

It’s easy to blame the defending, which was absolutely shambolic, however they were there for the taking in that second half. We shower little urgency, little fight, little determination, a lot of them looked half arsed or ghosted around. Most importantly we looked absolutely void of ideas or any form of working system to break them down and demolish them like any other top club playing against tosh opposition would do. Stems from the manager.

Same as last season when we played Guaye and Morgan, now Delph and Morgan, it simply does not work...

 

[OnlyBlueWillDo]

We won the passing and lost everything that matters

Our defending killed us, it's not the first time, it's been a problem since Silva came, we sorted it last 10 games of last season, but we are back to square one now, shocking worst defending in the league on display today.

 

[Barrowjohn]

That was painful. We aren’t getting any better are we.

Awful game,midfield of one,I'd rather play an under 18 player than Schniederlin,they had a player coming back after 9 months out that didnt even have to break a sweat,Walcott is never the answer even if the question is name a player called Walcott he would still be the wrong choice,just give us 50 points a season and a bye to the next round of cup competitions and we can all forget weekends

 

[Milkman]

The problem, sadly, is Seamus Coleman. I love him, and he can still play, but my god too many moves breaking down with his final ball at the moment. King is decent player and troubles most right backs, but he completely bossed Seamus today.

 

[johnjoeefc]

Quite frankly that was a tippy tappy crappy disgraceful performance

Sick if it!

Unfortunately you'll need to get used to it. I get the feeling moise Kean isn't what we were perhaps expecting and having lost gueye and zouma this is definitely a weaker side this season. I fully expect results like today's to happen very often

 

[BHvisitor]

Just knew.....deep down, we’d cock this up....didn’t say it out loud....but just knew....

I’m not a negative person by nature but I struggle with this club because we just crash and burn in such great style!

That's the bitter sweet price of addiction to a football club. Once hooked as a kid, it's impossible to later on genuinely become detached to lean years and losses.

Only fans of ManC and Real Madrid can be happy 95% of the time, through mega spending, buying all the trophies out there and at the same time rarely suffering setbacks in matches to underdogs (Norwich being the exception that proves the rule).

 

[Dubai Blue]

Okay, I defy anyone to take a single positive out of that.

We have yet to lose a game wearing our Third Kit?

 

[Lelouch]

I'm getting to a point where I don't care anymore.

 

[Noble Savage]

Awaits all of the cry arsing threads to appear saying how we're gonna get relegated.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if we are rubbing shoulders with the dog fighters at the end of the season . The lack of passion displayed by the players deserve it . Nevermind , they still get their pay . Good for them.

 

[DanEFC92]

Yep all have got some driving pace, pity Koeman messed it up with Barkley, the boards got a lot to answer for with the recent choices in managers.

Even after the Barkley debacle we've had plenty of time to look for an alternative.

 

[Parker]

Gonna get toxic later

Its embarrassing really. Grown men filling their adult nappies over us going to Bournemouth with our away record and not winning. I cant believe many were expecting us to win, I know I wasnt.

I thought there was some good things in there but not starting Kean and missing Gomes really hurt us. Iwobi looks a brilliant signing.

 

[Saint Domingo]

We’re only close to second etc. because it’s still the beginning of the season. We won’t be near anything playing like this.

 

[banno]

We missed Gomes and any sort of striker but we still have to score more because the defence is currently all over the place.
