Match Thread AFC Bournemouth v Everton Saturday 28th November 3pm

[MichaelEFC96]

Being stupidly complacent and arrogant in that 2nd half today may cost us a European place for next season. Different season same Everton. Dropping points in games like these!

Yesterday even, before anyone shoots me down.

Howard!!!!!!!!!!!

WE WANT JOEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Speak for yourself i dont. Howard is not perfect but he is just better than joel.

Joel wants to take tattics into his own hands and launch the ball up the pitch every time he gets it. Our team has been built around knocking the ball through the midfield and the defence and mildfield are waiting for the pass. Who does he think his is to come in and change that.

Secondly did anyone actually see the goal verse norwich where the hell was he he went out to the byline at the edge of the 6yard box to retrieve when there were defenders there and the ball was covered. The ball got knocked back in and put into an empty net! He nearly got us knocked out the cup!! His "great" saves are saves any keeper should make but he dives in a flamboyant way for no other reason than to look good.

He had a good game verse west ham in cup replay but his postioning is all over the place. Krasnodor at home last season anyone?

Until we sign a better keeper lets get behind our number one who has made like 2 mistakes all season.

Hopefully it's the end of the appalling (no surprise, as he is supposedly a centre back) Galloway as a wing back.

A terrible, terrible Bournemouth team targeted him today and we suffered for it.

Galloway may be decent, I just do not get the OTT praise of him in recent weeks. He offers NOTHING in the opposition half and looks no better than any average Premier League defender.

Yes he's young, I hope this run has been good for him personally and he learns a lot from it, but he's never a Premiership left back, never in a million years.

The black Hibbert.

Get him out on loan to the Championship.

Why the reference to his colour? Disgusting

Look, he posted it again!

Then there's this:




Hmm...

Look back more than a couple of weeks (though not at everything...)

And that's a bizarre connection by the way...

 

[fareastblue]

Players like Naismith and Pienaar would be most useful in defending a lead. They draw intelligent fouls and slow the game down.

 

[JohnyH]

Friend has got a lot to answer for.

You do not add time to added time. U just stop the watch when the ball is out or when there is time wasting.

If there was 15 seconds of the 5 mins left after we scored then the whistle should be blown 15 seconds after the restart.

If the logic of the pitch invasion is used to add time on. Imagine if the invasion lasted for 30 minutes would there be 30 mins more to add on. Of course not. Robbed.

It's a joke mate. Nobody bats an eyelid when referring to Naismith as albino or if you were to call a player "the white ..."

Don't be offended because the word black is used. It's a fact that Galloway is black, just as it's a fact that Hibbert is white. I think their playing styles are very similar (tough defender, awful attacking), so Galloway being the black Hibbert is the same as Hibbert being the white Galloway. It's only a light hearted reference, nothing important.

Reasonable post until the last sentence. Really? Is that all this team has done away this season?

yep...look who we've beaten - teams playing poorly, Shampton Chelsea WBA Sunderland Villa.
too many draws, that with a bit of intensity and go about us may have been ins
Some ( most ) of the players are much better than bang average
most of the results ARE bang average

the only thing we are all over is the phrase 'Flatter to deceive'

ask yourself is the whole squad better or worse than it was 4 yrs ago.
if the answer is worse, who signed them

If the answer is better, who is holding them back then

Martinez will lead us, by a different route, to the same lower single digit finishes that Moyes did.

Even if so, if he wins a tin pot whilst doing it he's done a better job.

There's an underlying current at the moment that it's ok to be racist as long as you understand it's a joke - even if it's not apparent it's a joke.

The mods have warned about it for the last couple of days, I'm sure you've seen the warnings in several threads - it reflects badly on the site.

Aside from that I don't accept your explanation - it's not acceptable these days. 7 days ban.

But the White Pele is ok?

 

[degsy]

My changes for the massive game on tues. Give geri a rest to show him he is not untouchable and bring him on as impact player if needed because his disciplin was poor today. Easily could have got himself sent off for lashing out. Too many times today loosing the ball when he had a chance to put the in, instead trying to beat a man. Why would he do this when his ball in is so great he doesnt need to. So get kev in instead. Looked sharp and hungry vs villa.

Kone for cleverly. Kone did a decent job tracking back but has ran out of steam going forward. and if ross is lost in the first half he needs to be relapaced by naissey at half time.

Im sure browning has played LB this season and did a good job so would put him in there more solid this is of course if baines not ready. Galloway looks out of his depth at the moment needs to be taken out.

We keep going on about our fantastic squad so lets freshing things up and not allow players to believe their own hype.

Was so confident heading up to the north east. Hope we can turn it on. Because boro dont look up to much.

No way rest Del, that's why he was taken off in the first place

Play your best team for this one and if we get there the semi's

 

[BiggyRat]

Just catching up on things here... We got our third in extra time, our fans invaded the pitch, and the Ref added miore time as a result. Does that sum it up? What was the initial amount of extra time?

 

[The Esk]

But the White Pele is ok?

In this day and age no, thankfully. What relevance does anyone's skin colour have to anything?

 

[degsy]

Even if so, if he wins a tin pot whilst doing it he's done a better job.

this maybe true.
did he also do a better job at Wigan winning a 'pot' too.
