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

When Myko has been one of your better players, it hasn’t been a classic. We’ve had enough of the ball to do damage second half if we get our acts together and - gulp - make the right subs.

What are the right subs? Our bench is absolutely appalling.

Ndiaye has been pretty poor the past two games.

I was in louder exam halls when I did my GCSE’s than that stadium

 

[b-rad]

yep. Think we might see him sooner than later with N'Diaye not at it tonight.

I’d definitely like to see this. Ndiaye offering nothing today.

 

[bullybeef]

Must be difficult when you know your striker can’t and won’t score goals.

Probably more people in their ground than there were left in the 2nd half at ours v Newcastle.

Our fans are hard, hard work

What the hell do we do in training regarding crossing the ball. We couldn't put a cross in if we used one of those little kicking contraptions they use in rugby. It's diabolical.

 

[OneTrueLegend]

I do sometimes wonder what we do in training.

I like Barry, but I feel like when we have the ball in attacking areas, either Grealish, Ndiaye and KDH play it to the wrong area, or he is not where he is supposed to be.

KDH, gets to the byline, pulls it back to the near post, Barry is on the penalty spot.
Ndiaye on the other side, gets to the byline, fizzes one across goal, Barry is again on the penalty spot.
Grealish cuts inside, chips the ball towards the penalty spot and Barry is at the back post.

On the whole a bit of a stalemate so far, we have had chances from set pieces and got into decent areas, final ball has just been wrong

It annoys me as well when in commentary they say we have had a “let off” because their goal was disallowed. He was miles off side. It’s not a let off, just the right decision, the linesman saw it clearly.

 

[Drico]

Moyes needs to tell the lads to get in there harder with their tackles, and get some more effective penetration going, as this current limp showing is pretty flaccid.

Sounds like a potentially sticky situation...

on here you mean

 

[Bedfordblue]

Want to see Beto on for Barry simply as he’s no worse and may want to prove a point.
Barry’s effort is a shadow of what he’s put in the last two games.
Suspect Moyles will leave it to 70mins before making a change though.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Ndiaye has been pretty poor the past two games.

Just because he can play on the right doesn’t mean he should

 

[Bez2k2k]

Someone has got to have a shot on target. Just shoot. It’s not hard.

 

[18efc78]

This ref has been absolutely terrible. How that adli hasnt been booked is beyond me. 4 fouls and stopped 2 counter attacks by dragging a player back.

Yea, Alcaraz shoulder barge - free kick, Alcaraz gets shoulder barged - no free kick
