Match Thread Bournemouth v Everton - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

Frank will explain everything after the game.

We cannot constantly point fingers at the managers, this squad of players are just complete dog S***E! NO manager can coach this shower, am sick?‍?

That doesn't make sense, given that the squad of players is also completely different than it was under those previous managers. Something's badly wrong, that's obvious, but simply blaming the players is too simple. (I'm not defending them, by the way - this season they've been mostly awful).

But let's face it, if we said in January we were going to buy any players, with one or two exceptions, from any team outside top 8, people would have a fit on here. Who could we realistically sign in January who would solve our problems?

Our players are not worse on paper than those who play for other teams. Do you think Solanke or Moore would improve us significantly? And yet this lot are beating us 2-0!

We've been saying the same thing about every group of players we've had for the last 10 years. This lot have it in them to play better with better coaching.

Frank's done some good stuff: transformed Iwobi, tightened up the defence (generally); I don't think anyone could honestly say he's getting more than the sum of the parts out of this group though, which is what a club in our situation needs from a manager.

More of that please , Onana

 

[Mase]

I agree we have terrible players but tactics are an important in making players play well. Example…Hoofing to little Maupay

 

[atypicalusername]

Better from Onana that

 

[billybeeru]

Don't think there was any offer for Dominic Calvert-Lewin??

Not this year. I mean after his purple patch season.

 

[Maltese_Falcon]

Would have been disallowed anyway

 

[Furey1878]

Another great chance blown, people can bemoan "shots on target" all they want but what can you do when a player has a chance and just balloons it?

 

[bluenorthwarrior]

How does the ref 'bring it back for a foul'. That's not a thing.

Offside yes, play ghe move out but not if he thinks there's been a foul.

Clueless.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Prediction final score 0-3.

I'll take 5-0 if it means no more Frank. He's taking us down. Need a change immediately.

 

[Zeitgeist]

Better from Onana that

He should have just shot at goal

 

[PhilEFC]

Nice positive changes by Frank I see.

 

[Cool_Blue]

If this isn't the most said thing on this forum every weekend I'll eat my hat.

Wish people would pack in moaning about the ref. Yes, he might be crap, but it’s not going to change anything, and it’s hardly his fault we’re so clueless

 

[Devanski]

Why was Pickford diving for that?

 

[Terrarian]

Pretty bad, gana is not in good form but toothless going forward
