I’ve travelled down to Bournemouth for the game, but didn’t bother actually going to the match because my luxury hotel spa is class and I’d prefer to spend the night snaffling strawberries and champagne in my complimentary robe.

Nobody knows where they are supposed to be. It’s all vibes in the final third

Yup, all bare shins, low socks, and utter impotence.

Must be difficult when you know your striker can’t and won’t score goals.

But he is young.....

What are the right subs? Our bench is absolutely appalling.

Would like to see Dibling for Illy early doors second half if Illy doesn’t raise his game significantly.

Beto either for Barry or even Charly depending on how we want to play it.

Patto, Aznou and McNeil to be used in case of emergency.

Been very limp so far.

Limpar?

comms singled Alcaraz out for giving the ball away cheaply in central positions. We're seeing a lack of discipline/concentration.

He’s given it away a couple of times, one after he intercepted a poor backwards pass and turned into trouble but a lot less than Ndiaye that half who has been really poor and given it away or put in a very poor cross/final ball lots.

Glad for bore draw today. Lads seem off the pace.

At least we've got options of the bench....

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

He holds the ball well and attacks well, but some of his passes this half have been a bit lazy and lackadaisical.

Can’t knock him too much though because he’s our best player.

Oh I adore the fella, but there’s no hiding that performance. Can’t win ‘em all like, but if he doesn’t pick up first 15 I’d like to see Dibling get a good run out.

Well, actually we do, but...

Thought we were the better team 1st half. Some good football but no end product. JOB (who I hate at RB) is looking comfortable so far. Garner looks our best RB at the club for what he brings. Myko is still a problem for us. Ndiaye looks well off the boil recently so needs a kick up the backside.
Tim has actually looks decent this half but is carrying a yellow card so will be edgy. How a Bournemouth player hasn't been yellow carded yet is amazing. Just feel if we concede first then it is game over but much better than Saturday so far.

Alcaraz has been a major disappointment tonight. Grealish doesn’t look arsed. Ndaiye seems off the pace and the less said about Barry. 14 appearances and no shots on target. I find that incredible.

Moyes clearly has noted Alcaraz performance in training and hasn’t picked him for that reason. Grealish and Ndaiye won’t/don’t care as one will be off shortly and the other we won’t be able to afford. Barry looks decent, but that’s only because I’m a Evertonian who has had to suffer Beto, who I wouldn’t not trust to trap a bag of sand.

Look jaded don’t they, third game in a week.

This post will be one to watch if we end up losing this, I'm excited

Hefner giving it large.
