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

[MrGrumpy]

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....

What happens when you been run by morons for the last 20 odd years

 

[matty1878]

I think these players came into this game with a mind Wednesday. Can't be this bad on Wednesday can we? Goodison won't allow it. Officially the last derby there now. Annoying

goodison has to make our players to want it more then ever

Dunno Dave, why don’t you tell us why you don’t want to?

We have to naviate a cup tie first.

That's not priority.

Play the peripheral squad players for that. We cant afford injuries.

The cups are a (dangerous) distraction, as they have been for years.

How is me saying a cup wasn't the priority the same as someone saying he wasn't arsed about winning the tie?

In what universe are they the same outlooks?

 

[TonyT65]

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...

That fact that your in here moaning says different. It's Sat night so just go out enjoy yourself ...stop spreading the gloom.
I'm in my 6th decade of supporting Everton... most of them none too good !
But I tell my youngest (born'97) ,that without the bad times the good times don't taste so sweet. Relax

Is the cup a dangerous distraction or not Dave? Please clarify.

 

[deipnosophist]

Yeah it's hard to believe we HAD to beat them to stay up.

Yes mate... that result was possibly the greatest in this club's entire history...I was shocked (albeit delightedly!) when I heard we'd done what I thought was impossible

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.

One team wins the FA Cup every year.

Even if we don’t expand the argument beyond your examples of Liverpool and City, at least one of them will not win it each year.

Is your argument here that if we simply consider ourselves winners, we will automatically win?

Is your argument here that fans on here have said that losing a cup game doesn’t matter? Because nobody has; they’ve simply said it’s not the end of the world; which it absolutely isn’t.

It’s a profound, lazy oversimplification and boring cryarsing. In every game both teams want to win, and typically the one that does is some combination of better in general and/or better on the day.

Accept it. Move on, and stop this infantile nonsense of declaring that anyone in anything other than total agreement with your whinging mustn’t be a real fan because you sound like a gargantuan tit.

I thought we were unfortunate. If Tarkowski hadn’t single handedly gifted them two goals it would have been a close game.

Tarkowski and Doucoure were the weak links today. I would phase them both out for O’Brien and Charly from now on.

 

[maccavennie]

Paid for a dreadful 1st half, gave it a better go 2nd half but what a poor way to finish at Goodison and bow out with barely a whimper.

Another season, another without a trophy.

Grim.

We're not in a relegation fight. Not really. So how can those two situations be the same.

Just accept you misunderstood and stand down.

 

[davek]

so what football is it?

Limited possession football for a bunch of players limited in quality.

How does any part of your message affect the scoreline?

 

[spudmuncher]

Young offers absolutely nothing , would've put branthwaite left back.. moved o brien into the centre and brought Dixon in .... Charlie to start instead of docoure, and irobeunum to get more minutes from now on

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Distraction from what?

We need to be focused on the league this season.

 

[marsh]

Gutted. Would have loved a good cup run and a chance of a lower league team at home in round 5 we could have had a real good go at it but we paid the price for awful mistakes and awful 60 or 70 minutes where we then decided to pick up the tempo and put some pressure on them and on another day we score a couple. It wasn't to be but we go again Wednesday and hopefully this defeat is forgotten about if we beat Liverpool
