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

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

Iirc We are like kryptonite to Crystal Palace @Alan Whittle

I'll tell you what. Its a good job we've been lucky away from home. Otherwise we'd be in the doggy.

You can say things like that about most teams, Liverpool were Gifted 10 points at the start of the season with goals coming 98 minutes or later, They'd be down there with Spurs only for that.

Its called forward movement, we lack it big time. We just don't move in front of the ball. To many want ball to feet. No one thinks to spin and run in behind or midfielder fields running beyond the ball
Personal I don't think garner and gana suit each other.

Yep, I agree. Just pointing out we weren't played off the park. We weren't great - far from it - but neither were they

 

[Neiler]

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

Jakes red wasn't a clear goal scoring opportunity IMO mate.

That decision changed the game.

The offside rule as i understand it for their second as i understand the rule that it's offside the moment an offside player makes an attempt to win the ball which the Bournemouth player did.

To be specific and expansive.

The really annoying thing was I told everyone we’d lose today and knew we couldn’t have a nice thing for once but they still managed to lose in such a crap way it made it shocking all the same

Gonna pour myself a nice glass of wine and watch the highlights

??

They were 2-1 up by that point.

We were all at sea. If anything, the sending off galvanised us more than going behind did.

 

[Somerset Blue]

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

Take those chances at those points and it’s a totally different game, they were food and drink to most strikers. That 10 mins of mayhem may never have happened.

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

True, mate. And thank you. I appreciate you. Seriously. Helping me keep the short/term loss in perspective of our glorious history. Thank you. UTFT. COYB.

Everton and opportunity
Oil and water

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

Pickford is one of the best in the PL but he does have a weakness and they were exposed tonight. Wouldn't dream of having anyone else in goal for us but crossing is not his strongest point.

Gonna pour myself a nice glass of wine and watch the highlights

A bottle perhaps

 

[Cameron Manning]

The fact we played pretty well after the red card shows that we can be so much better at home than we actually are and that the cautious pragmatic safety first approach is holding us back

You cannot have bad full backs and bad strikers and expect to control and win games of football at home. Add a striker and two good full backs rather than the money we wasted last summer and this team would actually be decent.

But we won't get it right. We never do. The only people who think we currently have good full back options seem to work for the club.

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

That's true but I still think once they looked at it it must be given offside, he makes a play for the ball so becomes active and offside.

So the red had no bearing on the result?
