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

[Amokachi1995]

Am in 2 minds about playing Ndiaye.

Am terrified of him getting injured.

You can talk yourself out of all sorts. Especially given who we've got on Wednesday.

He who dares though Rodney. I'd go best team possible (unless carrying a knock).

If you’re not going to play a full strength team in this game, then there is no point any of us supporting Everton.

We’re not going to get relegated, we’re never going to win the league; what else is there to play for?

Exactly, why play a weekend team against Bournemouth to go out the cup and then still lose Derby.
Much rather go through the cup and see what happens in the Derby. Full strength both times.

 

[Blue Alert]

The least risky thing to do is to field no players at all and just hope Bournemouth have an off day in front of goal.

 

[Aberblue]

Wishful thinking but what if we reach the final. Our last home game v Southampton will be moved to a midweek?

Let's cross that bridge when we come to it.

 

[ElGato]

How about:

Pokemon
Joblot/TarkatheOtter/Notkeane/Branstonpickle
Pitterpatterson/Garnish/Timpani/HairySon
Alcopops/NDubz
BetFair​

No way Ndubz should be playing

Ndiaye is the one who should be rested for sure. The rest is a bit of a dilemma- the final Goodison derby is a massive game emotionally and also a chance to get up to 14th and put any thoughts at all of relegation aside.

In truth we have very few rotation options anyway so we’re not going to see massive changes but I’d be cautious with Gana and Garner, ideally not full 90s.

Interesting to see how they approach it, a massive injury crisis themselves and Europe to fight for in the league, it might not be one they’re all out for.

I honestly think PL safety will be his primary objective so the FA Cup could potentially be something of hindrance as far as players getting injured goes.

That being said its all about momentum,not only that...we owe one,we actually owe them two.

 

[Vaughan]

bournemouth might rotate too, they’re going for europe, but they have a lot of injuries so he could just stick with strongest xi

there’s a chance they play some youth players and we can go without ndiaye

do wish we’d still been drawn against at best a championship side at this stage, oh well

 

[Vintage]

I wouldn't like us to field a side that is very weakened, but, I hope he rests Ndiiaye and Beto, we really can't afford an injury to either of them at the moment.

If Ndiaye and Beto are both rested who would play up front though? It be either Keane or Sherif

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Play our best XI and get through to the next round. Wrapping players in cotton wool never works, they pick up lots of injuries in training.

 

[roy vernon]

Sherif I would guess, a good game to blood him in, because who knows, an injury to Beto in the next 4 weeks and Sherif is first choice cf or cf off the bench.

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Just play your best eleven Moisty lad,let's have a go,thirty years in May mate.

 

[TheBlueBlitzer]

Injury to beto would just put illi upfront

 

[roy vernon]

Injury to beto would just put illi upfront

Which would have Harrison in Ndiaye's place on the left, I'd sooner go with Sherif in that case.

Other people have argued harrisons true posistion is on the left, id rather play sherif but considering ndiaye scored when moyes moved him there he may think that
