Haters gonna hate, I just CBA to go back across that thread and see who they were... apologies making the point off the back of your post.

haters guna hate for what?

Just watched to see Alcaraz really.

Thought the free kick was quality and his fitness, desire and layoffs were first rate.

The two issues i had were that it seems next season we may need to go 4 at the back with OBrien & Branthwaite. Thats not solely based on today, more so that Tarkowski cant pass at their level and he doesnt have their physical gifts.

In addition, we need two new full backs. Young was totally illsuited

na atleast 6

 

[siddharth]

we know we will be having one

loads of ins!

and some definite outs. Can't wait to see the back of players like douc

 

[Bob Latchford]

As long as there is a reaction from Moyes - Young not to make another appearance, Doucs to be dropped - that result won't matter. There has to be consequences for it, though.

I think all the subs he brought on improved on their counterpart. For me that shows a bit of hunger to get in the team and competition for places. At least that’s a start.

I don’t get the Goodison love in at all, it’s an awful ground where we be absolutely awful at for 30 years, time to let it go it’s held us back long enough

First half poor second half we outplayed them.

Desperation is you trying to draw a line underneath it.

We gave it a good go but didn't score a goal. Outplayed is flattery.

 

[dannyboy]

And here we go.

Hitting the post three times is easy now apparently.

You and Jake the cake can go and have coffee after the match.

We just got knocked out of the 4th round at home and you're taking the positives. We can't put hitting the post against Bournemouth on our honour list.

 

[Milkman]

All in all though, I thought that was a really good second half, ridiculously unlucky to not score.

We got it so badly wrong tactically in the first, not helped with Tarkowski having maybe the worst 45 of his career. They're similar to the RS, so hopefully that's good prep for the derby.

 

[Simo]

na atleast 6

Who plays at number 6 , yeah hopefully a change there

 

[matty1878]

All that FA cup history at Goodison park ended with a display from our so called captain that wasn’t worthy of a Sunday league game.

He should be ashamed of himself.

pretty sure tarks will hold his hands up

he’s been brilliant and i bet he bounces back on wed

Not sure you’ll find a single Everton fan that doesn’t think we need a striker.

 

[Pittsburgh Footy]

The only good thing to come from this is a realisation that there's a lot of players at this club who are nowhere near good enough.

The last ever FA Cup game at Goodison is a 2-0 defeat to Bournemouth and you're saying there's reasons to be optimistic? We are at a nadir as a club that we have not reached since the 50s.

Think about how bad we were just a month ago . It’s all about perspective

Sure we don’t want to be losing 2-0 at home to Bournemouth. But let’s be realistic how bad we were under Dyche this season

 

[Professor Toffee]

We badly need that rebuild come summer

A bit of scaffolding would be welcome
