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

[leslad]

I'm a little numb to it.

I wasn't expecting a result today. We don't do well away from home - how many years has it been since we've been competitive away from Goodison?

We always struggle at Bournemouth.

Our team is really poor.

I expected a tough relegation fight when the season started it without adequate improvement. I knew it was a relegation fight the second the window closed.

I hoped we'd stay out the bottom 3 come the window, when I hope we buy some creativity/goals.

Hard watching isn't it when we are so desperately lacking in ideas for attacking creativity

 

[TheBlueGibbon]

Cook out of control, studs up and not even a yellow. Then the stoppage for a 'head injury' to the chest. We are appalling but the referee is somehow even worse.

Two-footed as well.

 

[Jager24]

Option 1: Dont send the team back out and accuse the ref of match fixing.

Option 2: Put Gordon on for Gray and ask our boys to kick them all over the park

20 mins of option 2 then turn to option 1

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?‍?

Agree but Frank has purchased his fair share of crocks and has not improved those he inherited.

433 hasn’t worked for most of the season,getting overrun in midfield again and 2 wingers who are totaLily ineffective. He has to change that. So depressing watching this.

 

[Bulgarian toffee]

Awful. I really think that some of our players are just dumb. Wrong decision after wrong decision.
There is literally nothing upfront. Players just like planted on their spots, no runs, no shots, terrible crossing. Watching Maupay really hurts my eyes.
Changes ought to be made at half time but I am not optimistic about that.

 

[TheBlueGibbon]

He got a yellow mate (according to livescore)

Not for the tackle according to the commentary.

 

[Blue_in_london]

Are we losing to a ref?

 

[leslad]

I'm going to anyway.

Tarkowski gets up and keeps playing. Moore gets up after holding his head and keeps playing. Tavernier gets up and keeps playing. The head injury system is a complete farce from top to bottom.

But then stays down

Bournemouth have lost their last 2 games from 2 goals up. If we could score it would change the game completely. I'm just not sure we can score!

Scoring didn’t help us much on Wednesday.

 

[Sharpattack]

Just watching the team after the second goal and in possession you’d think we were 2-0 up. Passing across the middle and then back. No attacking, no urgency, nothing. I expect Bournemouth to go on to win this 4-0.

 

[TheBigIguana]

But then stays down

No mate, he's still on the pitch playing without ever being properly evaluated

 

[Amokachi1995]

I don't think Gana as a holding midfield has worked for several games. We've got 3 in there but keep getting over run.

We would be better just matching up and trying to win our battles.

 

[PhilEFC]

Change the formation Frank. It hasn’t worked for weeks this one.

Losing heads re league and referee bias does not fix the shambolic coaching. Why does the goalkeeper parry every single ball into the box ??? The lad does not have any notion of how to play as goalkeeper ? Yet he is the captain??
