Match Thread Everton 1-2 Bournemouth. Tues Feb 10th. 7.30 pm

[when i score we riot]

I cant believe how good we are at losing games really, really fast. Just 5 - 10 decisive minutes and we're done, just folding like a house of cards

We were the better team, had the better chances, their second goal was offside, unbelievably frustrating and that's going to sting for the nearly two weeks until we play again on a sodding Monday night, humph.

I would say it wasn't offside but then the Villa game comes to mind when Armstrong was given offside.
The difference between the 2 of them was the linesman raised his flag at Villa but didn't tonight. VAR will try and protect onfield decisions

There are many faults with the team. Pickford isn’t one of them.

Very odd hill to die on if Pickford is where you have complaints with this side. Like you said, many faults but Pickford is nowhere near being one of them

 

[T LEAFE]

Aye, but the missed chances did us in tonight almost criminal.

The performance and the team did us tonight not the 2 missed chances

Yeah mate we're all entitled to our opinions and mine is, that he is.

It’s a wild, minority view mind.

Agreed

Whisper it too, but we’d be where forest currently are if we had Europe with this squad

That's very hypothetical.

Forest's loathsome owner who trashed Nuno in front of the entire stadium for only qualifying for the Europa League.... (And who's dragging West Ham out the mire).

Then bins him for Ange, now Dyche's up

Same trajectory as us during our manager-go- round.

Qualifying for Europe would vastly improve our recruitment options.

I do accept your point we have some players not good enough for that right now... 100% But qualifying for Europe makes it easier to move them on.

Everton on my tombstone:

Believed in a win and/or Europe until we pulled the rug out. lol. Everton .

 

[witchdoc187]

I'm sure everyone in the premier league is our bogie team except Fulham and west ham.

 

[blue to the bone]

 

[irishtony1878]

How do refs f us every week.

That wasn't down to the ref.
What do you think he got wrong?

Can you also fit...."Apart from all the times we've been in Europe"

We're not far off being a decent side. Tonight was a massive kick in the nuts. But we are where we are. I think we're near enough where we belong. At least we finally have some hope

I’m thinking somewhere between 12th and 10th when it’s all said and done

Thought that for most of the season

A bit like 99/2000 where relegation was never really on the cards but we spurned every chance we had to make a top half push

Shocking 2nd goal from VAR, Ref, defence and Pickford

Red Card has 2 men covering from 40yds out but still harsh.

However the finishing is unforgivable from Barry both chances on a plate just direct them. Lazy and far far too casual
