Match Thread Bournemouth 1-0 Everton Sat, 4 Jan 15:00

[blue to the bone]

When nothing changes. Nothing changes . Same old drivel.

 

[welshtoffee]

Its the DYCHE way !!!

 

[God Benfrey]

Its depressing to see us constantly regressing or at best standing still, pretty much the worst footballing side in the league at this point...

And across Europe according to almost every meaningful metric out there but yeah according to dyche we are playing well...

 

[Shibbywiggles]

They've been poor in all departments today mate, they've had enough clear chances to take the lead.

True but at least they made the chances unlike us

 

[allen]

It makes my blood boil watching this.

I don’t care if we win, lose or draw - the performance is utterly horrific.

 

[larbert toffee]

Everton seem to have lost their cutting edge today

Yeah I remember that cutting edge......

 

[lungo]

You could tell me that Dyche is deliberately trying to relegate us and I’d believe you

no Dyche hasnt got a clue and never did Simple like that. prepare your self for championship football next season

 

[edge]

On a positive note we have nearly dragged Bournemouth down to are level.

 

[wainy]

Just sack him in the changing room. Utterly dire

 

[Vintage]

Huff and puff football

 

[GoldenToffee]

No changes at half time, second half we continue to be dominated, wondering why the manager refused to change anything at half time. 25 minutes pass, finally Bournemouth score.

Beto and Harrison are brought on, it ends 2-0 with a late Bournemouth goal.

Dyche says he was happy with the effort from the team and that we just needed a bit more luck in front of foam, despite us having had zero shots on target.

 

[Deulofeumygod]

Another Dyche masterclass

 

[PhilM]

They absolutely do, thats part of the problem. No football squad will have ingrained instincts to play like this, theyre told to do it. Im sure the wingers doesnt want to be defenders, i assume theyd prefer a free attacking role.

True; I meant more the nonsense he talks in the press conferences: they're well drilled on the pitch, but they can't believe his guff.

 

[carolinablue232]

Rope-a-dope this.

We'll get at these second half and see how they react to that.

Rope a dope implies at some point we’ll change our tactics and go on the attack.

 

[Esgehtvoran]

Only plus points from the entire half, Ndiaye looks lovely

Poundland Geri Deulefou.
