Match Thread Bournemouth 0-1 Everton. Tue Dec 2. 7.30

[JLW]

Let's see what this squad is made of tonight. You have to expect the manager has put a rocket up them for the hideous showing against Newcastle. Three points here would put that right and turn the points from the last 3 games into more than we expected.

Still, when your strikers cannot score goals, every match is going to be difficult, and Bournemouth are a very decent side. We won't come across another side that puts in such a woeful home performance as United did.

I expect a defeat unless Garner starts right back and Alcaraz is in for Iroegbunam, with Dewsbury-Hall and Charly in the middle of the park, Ndiaye shifted to number 10 and Dibling starting. Very, very, very clearly not happening and Iroegbunam will be rewarded for the worst effort you'll ever see against Newcastle with a start tonight.

Not so sure as it was him who said we are not at Newcastle's level.
That tells me that the result against Newcastle was expected and accepted.

I'm not sure how anyone could have Tim in their line up after his display v Newcastle

I fear that our midfield just isnt good enough without the work gueye puts in. Iroegbunam and dewsbury hall could be chasing shadows in this game considering how most other away performances have gone this season. I think we will lose 3-1

I know of one key person who probably would…

Grealish, Tarkowski, Keane, Tim should all be benched.

 

[blackie_jones75]

Got all the ingredients to get pumped by Bournemouth tonight unless Moyes is pro active in changing things around and dropping off form players

 

[blue to the bone]

Grealish, Tarkowski, Keane, Tim should all be benched.

Pick your team without them so .

Set pieces and pace with destroy us. Bournemouth are a very decent counter attacking team.

 

[Lob]

No idea what to expect tonight after the poor showing the other day against Newcastle Madrid. If we win or draw then we did well. If we get beat its because we aren't at their level. That is where we are at with Moyes now. The excuses have taken over from refreshing honesty. We had just beaten a team that had better players on paper when we were down to 10 men for most of the game and beat them away. Then we get trounced at home and play really poor but rather than acknowledge how poor we were that it's because we aren't at their level.

Fingers crossed we win, not for the manager and players but for the supporters who have been deprived of honesty and consistency for years.

 

[Bally1989]

Are we expected to win this or we hoping for a Bournemouth off day and our players to wake up like Brazil in 1970?

 

[Gilbert..]

Think we'll get walloped.
Which usually means we'll nick it 1-0

 

[GoldenToffee]

Tim Iroegbunam will 100% be rewarded for that disgusting performance with another start tonight, after which Moyes will bemoan a 'lack of depth in the squad' as to the last two results.

Another game of woeful striker or woeful striker starting, and no full backs capable or willing to overlap the winger.

Hardly a recipe for success.

Set pieces and pace with destroy us. Bournemouth are a very decent counter attacking team.

More worried with the intensity they play at, if we don't switch on from kick off we'll get totally overwhelmed

 

[OlDirtyBluenose]

Would be nice to win away at Utd and Bournemouth over seven days, can't see it myself but we live in hope.

Looking at a positive Bournemouth have conceded twelve in their last 4 games. They are also missing Senesi which will disrupt their backline further. Brooks is out who is important for them. Their strikers are out of form too. Evanilson one goal all season.

I think the key here is to just defend well and be efficient. Although they did manage to rack up 4 xg at home to west ham in their last home fixture so I would expect them to be able to get between 1.5-2 xg against us today. Pickford will need to be on form and we need to be clinical because we will get chances.
