Match Thread Everton 0-2 Bournemouth FA Cup 8th Feb 2025

[Huyton Layne]

Only silver lining is that it's better for everything to go wrong in a cup game, if those issues can be addressed for league games.

 

[wangy]

mate you moan about everything every game all the time

not one fan doesn’t want everton to be good again

a rebuild starts summer

If and its a big if we beat the r/s by a couple of goals and keep a clean sheet then he will moan because it wasn’t a cricket score, we all want better we all want success but perfection is impossible, and wanting the impossible always gives you room to moan.

Years of being down trodden mate... just the way it is when it comes to Everton, just wished club had never touched me, they rarely bring any real joy, like you`d get from winning something or finishing high enough to qualify for Europe, for as long as I can remember we`ve just been crap and after seeing that for the best part of 40 years it isn`t changing any time soon...

WE will be in Europe within 2 years. Few more like Alcaraz and Ndia. Whole new ball game next season

At least we've witnessed titles here - try find a Barcodes or coming in the next 10 years or so a Spurs fan who has

Just the last year or so!?!?

I’m not really sure—I was here very little over a longer period before a year ago.

i’d snap your little finger of for a draw

i would love to wake up and everything in my life around me is the same

but everton dominate football!

 

[blueconverse]

at 2 down thanx to defenders having a mare

so again your wrong mate

Never been wrong in my life buddy. Not going to start now. If you think bringing a centreback to play upfront is acceptable then fair enough

 

[daza_1973]

no it’s not don’t say that hard enough with 11

We'll be playing against 12 Wednesday don't doubt it - Coote protocol 24/25

 

[ClausThomsen]

Bit of a reality check there.

Won't be playing against a plummeting injury hit Spurs or plain dreadful Leicester defence every week and won't always get that bit of luck we got when playing poorly against Brighton. Will gladly take the maximum points from those but today shows that we still have a fairly poor squad by PL standards and the expectation of stylish winning football is asking too much of any manager with these resources.

Especially when pitted against genuinely decent sides in good form. Looked better in the second half but at 2-0 (the most dangerous scoreline Bobby Brownshoes) maybe Bournemouth were switching off a bit.

Nice to see Doucore getting subbed though. Silver linings and all that....

 

[JammyP]

Boooo.
Harrison though. Where's he been hiding that lot this season?

Alcaraz showed promise.

Some odd refereeing but you can't win without playing in both halves.

Can just concentrate on the league with the injury list we have

 

[kenada_blue]

Tarko being Bournemouths 12th man really

when i was 15 guess i can’t be greedy!

 

[Bob Latchford]

Just come out of ground terrible first half,good second half just had no luck . got to start quicker Wednesday..

Safe home mate.

Barcodes have a final to look forward to, we havent been to one since 2009, that is 16 years... 2 cup final appearances in something like 36 years...

i said the players PLAYING at 2- down
