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

I enjoyed that apart from the usual stress until we got the second goal. Let them see too much of our goal for my liking but we defended well enough overall especially from set pieces. Our final ball still gets me a bit annoyed because we do not turn enough promising positions into chances/goals but I would have bitten your hand off for that before the game so job done as far as I am concerned and bring on another away draw with a big ticket allocation!!

By far from a vintage display but we ground out a result and that's what mattered.

Definite penalty to them and McCarthy made a stupid error. Fortunately we got off the hook.

Got a huge slice of luck with the deflection but as I've said time and time again luck always plays a part in football. Against WBA all of the deflected efforts went just off-target, for example.

The Lukaku goal should have stood but it was tight and fortunately we didn't need it to in the end. Killed the game off well in the last 10 minutes or so as well, though I had been crying out for a pro-active change from Martinez around the 65th/70th minute mark.

Robles - 8
Coleman - 6
Jagielka - 7
Mori - 6
Oviedo - 6
McCarthy - 6
Barry - 7
Lennon - 6
Barkley - 7
Cleverley - 5
Lukaku - 6

Na mate they're off to Dubai tomorow while we suffer this cold wet crap.

There seems to be another meaning to these 'cold' and 'wet' concepts of which you speak? I only know them in relation to beer.

Robles 8 seems harsh. What more does he need to do except face more shots?

Thanks, mate. The match wasn't televised here and there are no highlights.

 

[Jeff Jones]

Atleast Rom's cheered up a bit, face like a smacked arse during the match.

It might've been because his mate Kone is probably not going to play here again, djer think?

Lukakus miserable dial is a concern lately, face like A bulldog
licking waz off a thistle even after scoring...

 

[zandvoort blue]

Cool that! Robles was great, Cleverley was dung, Barry, Mori, Jags, Lennon, Oviedo and Barkley were immense - as was Mirallas when he finally came on, and we won 2-0. Happy days!

Looking back the peno save was a real turning point,heads might've dropped had we conceded. As it was a real top quality save and for that alone Joel should've been motm .

 

[zirc]

Save for WBA having all the luck of a double lottery winner, we would now be looking back on five straight wins and just one conceded.

The common denominator? Joel and Mori, both of them were mighty impressive again tonight - the defence couldn't account for McCarthy's sad act identical twin giving the pen, but as a whole did well.

That said, Coleman still needs to up his game massively, but ultimately, this was everything the league game wasn't.

Most importantly though, a win to nil at Goldsands - which slayed a few demons - a 1/4 final berth (no Liverpool in the hat!!!), and a performance which was another combination of Moyes & Martinez' best managerial qualities.

Play like this at Villa in the next prem game, and there will be absolute carnage.

Jags fit as well, he's England's first choice for a reason

As you mention, it wasn't the best performance but it was a professional one and we got the needed result. That's good enough for me.

We can add it to the list.
We can't defend
Martinez doesn't have any tactics
Martinez doesn't play our favourite players.
Martinez doesn't play the right style.
The board are rubbish.
The Americans will bankrupt us.
Barkley doesn't pass when we think he should.
Lukaku looks sad.

I'm sure there is more.

Errr... I dunno if you can really include Kev in the 'immense' list. He jogged about for ten minutes
