Match Thread Bournemouth Vs Everton - FA Cup 5th round - Sat 20th Feb - KO 17:15

Good, professional job done imo.

What did not come across on the TV was the wind. It is gale force down here, and not just constant from one direction. It is swirling all over the shop, and some gusts are hard to actually stand up in.

 

[Bilko]

Not really relevant but Martin Keown is an idiot

he joined the michael owen school of nonsense tonight, questioned Rom all night and then gave him man of the match.....

 

[PITA]

Although it was a really frustrating game and we didn't play that well, to win and get a clean sheet, you've got to be happy with that.

Apparently not.

 

[The Mighty Quint]

One more and it's a day out at Wembley, just need another away in the next round, we are crap at home.

Solid performance.

Joel is life.

Would like to see Deulofeu get more game time.

Possibly why the crosses were off today?

A decent display with no poor performances. Robles kept us in it with his save and Rom got his reward with a goal. I thought Ross was MoTM by a long way, Lennon had a decent game and Barry and co were always there when needed. Back four played well. The lads on the bench will be wondering how the hell they will get back into this side and when you consider the quality of that bench its a nice thing to say. All in all a good result at what could have been a very tricky venue........

Coleman was poor as was McCarthy

Joel and Barry both deserve great praise after that performance, both brilliant

 

[toffee_laura]

Every game Joel plays I rate him more and more. Should be our no.1 without a doubt. I like the way he commands his box at corners and pushes people out of the way. That penalty save was awesome. Kept us in the game with that.
Not the best overall performance but three games away from a cup...

 

[ToffeeTim]

The way I look at it is we didn't play as well as we can BUT 1) Did we win...Yes 2) Did we deserve to win...Defo

Now it seems a problem to win no matter how. I thought ugly wins were wanted by some? We won and we deserved to win so what more can anyone ask.

I'm extremely happy, especially with the clean sheet. Fed up playing well and not winning. Was just my observations on the game. We can do much much better but that's a positive.

Yep Roydo,if only we'd had Robles and that focussed mentality for two thirds of the season who knows where we'd have been.

 

[banno]

For sure.
Martinez apologists will be pointing to a phenomenal "double" achievemt of one semi one Quarter final in same season "heralding brave new era" etc etczzzz

We will......by the way when was the last time it happened?

 

[moyes cardy]

This is supposed to be the happy bit now kids..

No no - as earlier there is a minority on here who want to fume, today's result has knocked them back a little. They will soon be back though..

 

[Goodison87]

We play away better than tiger woods ...
