Match Thread Bournemouth v Everton, Sat 30/12/17

[Wat Tyler]

How many times this season have we not had a shot on target first half? Under all three managers. It seems we start games just hoping to stay in them.

 

[Abraders]

Barry is still a way better footballer than Schniederlin, Gueye, Davies or McCarthy and he’s 38 isn’t he?

Never should have got rid.

 

[trueblue10]

Would have thought you'd learned your lesson after west brom

I know our attacking options are limited but blooming heck, can we at least try and get into their half in the second half, instead of passing it back all the sodding time.

 

[hktoffee]

Leicester and Watford winning

Worst outcome.

 

[Zeke]

The only positive is it's only one nil....that is the ONLY positive!!

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Mccarthy isn't a footballer

I absolutely despise him. Schneiderlin too. And Gueye the crab.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Well we've barely done it all season.

Even against a team of actual post men we struggled and laboured to a 1-0 victory etc.

This squad isn't good, and neither are the players we've spent 150 odd million on.

I can accept the squad is crap mate, but we have enough to at least try and go and win a game against Bournemouth (West Brom) from the off.

 

[Big_nev]

Really have to get ourselves higher up the pitch this half, problem is when you have been sitting back so frequently it's hard to just change it on a dime. These will give us chances if we put the pressure on.

 

[cronullasharks]

Worst outcome.

Oh I'm quite happy if Leicester win today

 

[Norwegian Cow]

almost an immediate goal from rooney with a clever ball from gylfi

 

[navidson]

Looks like he's put Rooney up front. He doesn't work there ffs

Stated explicitly that he was NOT a striker anymore on Football Focus today

 

[longers]

I absolutely despise him. Schneiderlin too. And Gueye the crab.

at least gueye is good at what his role is meant to do, grind like a mofo.

 

[Abraders]

I can accept the squad is crap mate, but we have enough to at least try and go and win a game against Bournemouth (West Brom) from the off.

Whilst I agree, we have won one away game in about a year. That was under sam vs newcastle so, uh yeah my hopes aren't so high away from home!

 

[chrissyjack]

Ooohh...better

 

[ADT]

when are we going to get a shot we've had one ffs
