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

[Marius57]

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

I thought that might be the case. Ridiculous decision to dive in with how wide the player had gone

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.

How cant you want to win a cup?

Clueless people who need to give their heads a massive wobble.

shocking 1st half
poncing about at the back AGAIN

 

[daza_1973]

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

Before 1965 they were turbo gash - just pray our time will come a la Man City

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.

We just weren't good enough. They were quicker and better than us first half. Tactically I think we should have been more patient and more direct against them because they will eventually give you chances.

And we did get chances. We just didn't score.

Unfortunately the first half was bad. Very bad.

 

[Leylo]

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....

Ffs give it a miss

 

[Mozza1987]

So frustrating that game. They did barely anything. Gifted them 2 goals and it was basically over. At least we gave something the second half as first half was so poor. Tarky gave a disgraceful performance then.

 

[ForeverEverton]

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

Yeah of course, I`d like nothing more than to beat those f`ers... not likely to cost them the league either is it?

 

[Bagpuss]

Tarks just not at it and Doucoure poor. Didn’t give Beto any of the same type of service at all. Really did have a go second half though and great to see subs actually making an impact. Whether we got the result or not we are a completely different proposition to what we were three weeks ago and watching us play doesn’t make my eyes bleed.

 

[uglykidjoe1982]

at least i hit the crossbar at half time

Your dad was very unlucky

Too late by then.

We should have won that today. They were injury ravaged and were there for any team who treated them as the better football outfit and bided their time to smash them from set pieces and a counter.

Unbelievably Everton were sent out to take the game to them.

 

[Thomasc]

Can’t play like that for 60 minutes in a game against PL opponents and expect anything.

Diabolical for 60 mins.

we all hope mate
they can afford to lose to us and theyl still win the league

im praying to god he can help us not rollover to them

 

[ToffeeTim]

Also playing against a side like Bournemouth wh have fast players all over the pitch, just highlights how outdated and inept our recruitment has been.

The fact that we've gone window after window without adding fast wide players, fast full backs, just baffles me. It matters so much nowadays.

Hopefully lessons have been learned ahead of the summer when we need a squad overhaul

 

[Preki]

Agreed. Can't g

Agreed. Giving away stupid goals like that and we're not beating anyone.
