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

[MaximusEvertonius]

I hate that a lot of fans are saying it didn’t matter because it was just the FA. No true fan to the core would ever feel that way. Think Pep and Citeh fans feel like that? Think the RS shrug their shoulders if they lose an FA match? No way. Winners want to win and they want to win everything all the time whether it’s the league, the FA, the shield, or a coin toss or poker. Our attitude has to be better to where we’re disappointed and even pissed we lost because we know we’re better, but not trying to rationalise it away.

3000 mile round trip. Decent 2nd half. Not that bothered we'll not win the cup. Just sad for my little boy cos our last match was forest home. Think we'll have to come to saints

i’ve witnessed a cup and charity sheild

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

Same here... this is how I don`t get how you can be so positive when you`ve just seen nothing but abject failure after abject failure....

Just this season is getting to me more than most... like I said earlier the cherry on the top will be Liverpool winning on Wednesday and they will have beat us more times at Goodison than we have beaten them, I think that is embarassing and shows just how they`ve dominated us over the years, our win % in the derby is 33.33%, again I think that is embarassing having any away team win more games at your ground than you have....

How are we on 58% of the possession against that Bournlemout team?

You really dont want the ball more than them.

Because they were 2 nil up and happy to defend.

They did enough without playing well. How they didn't concede at least once was down to nothing other than good fortune, but they won the game inside 45.

Haven’t had a chance to watch any clips back. Was the pen offside initially the run up? Regardless, tarks shouldn’t dive in like that, always gives the ref a decision to make.

Absolutely nowhere near offside, just a woeful challenge and the correct call to award a penalty.

Some second half that. Really unlucky.

 

[ForeverEverton]

A bumming to look forward to - make no mistake

And then we gotta listen to the RS go on about that one trophy we have never won, they`ve litteraly won 3 times as much as us.... Everton is just not relevant any more

at least i hit the crossbar at half time

Can’t even hide it. Bet you were gutted losing the league at Goodison last year, and the time before that.

Fully agree, I`m glad someone else has said it, we`ve got a losers mentality running right through the club and through the fanbase...

We dominated possession in the first half too though.

That was the B'mouth manager completely outfoxing Moyes.

I doubt since Martinez (when we were set up to deal with possession of the ball) have we been 58% ball possession.

 

[Joey66]

I notice the referee started cardinal them 87 minutes too late!

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

Second half was better. But tbf, Bournemouth sat back.

No mate no offside and it was a pen.

Tarks stunk the gaff out today and he wasnt the only one, only Garner can walk of the pitch with his head held high.
After saying that we still hit the woodwork 3 times and missed a couple of good opportunities.

They deffo got the rub of the green today, all the decisions and ricochets were falling to them.

We move on

this season up until moyes has been awful and goodison has been awful (dyche)

it’s years of the pitch stuff has us in this position playing catch up

and yearh our overall record has been cow dung against the scum of the world

we have to show we want to get something out of it on wednesday mate
