Match Thread Everton v AFC Bournemouth - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[larbert toffee]

It was ironic that the youngsters in the team today got the bulk of the MoM awards, it has been the experienced players who have let us down this season big time.

 

[The Littlest Yobo]

Spineless and insipid. Again. Just a culture of mediocrity. There was a bit in the game which I thought just summed us up as a team. Davies went to pass to Coleman and sloppily put it out of play (shock, I know). Coleman turned to Davies and said precisely nothing. Club captain should have been bawling him out on the pitch, making a show of him, demanding more like he says in his oft repeated rallying calls. Richarlison aside, there is just nothing there.

Nothing? Well he could have done what a goalkeeper's supposed to do and stop the ball going through his hands!!

come on man sarcasm. And wobble your head Matty

 

[Khalekan]

Over to Carlo me thinks.........because I think that Brands has done enough.
Let Brands sort out the dross.
And let Carlo (hopefully) sort out the team that (he wants) for next season.
Let's see what Carlo can do (if anything) to get us playing decent football.
Let's see what happens. Because tbh anything or nothing can happen with Everton set up.......

The problem is there isn’t much time for Carlo to sort the team out for next season,

So I fear the starting XI on September 12th will not be radically different from today’s

 

[APN_EFC]

And that is why if we entertain three quarters of those players next season we will be fighting relegation,we need to really stand back and look at how bad our squad is

I only listed 13 players. We need 8-10 different ones!

 

[deipnosophist]

Expect Capt Seamus will put out a vid describing how committed they all are to having a fabulous upcoming season...


...do not believe a word.

 

[Death]

Why didn’t we give sims a run out

 

[Bullens Rd]

Why didn’t we give sims a run out

Probably crap and will be sold in the coming weeks

 

[Death]

Probably crap and will be sold in the coming weeks

guess so, 0 goals in this season for the first team is a disgrace tbf

 

[degsy]

Probably crap and will be sold in the coming weeks

tbf, you could say that about most of them, except nobody in their right mind would buy them.
Sims they might buy, because he hasnt kicked a ball in anger this season
All the others have had multiple chances.

Awful. This season feels like rock bottom.

Upwards is the only way now.

 

[GON ZO BLUE]

Awful. This season feels like rock bottom.

Upwards is the only way now.

Sadly this might not be rock bottom yet, my instincts tell me things could get worse.

The club don't back Ancelotti to his satisfaction and most of the layabouts we have are still with us next season, add to that the the new signings all behave like Moise Kean did this season, it's then things could get worse.

The above horror scenario is not an impossibility.

I no longer believe this club can do anything right.

 

[USABlue]

Terrible performance. Nice to see Kean get on the scoresheet though. Roll on next season

 

[Ballly]

The players should be made to wear a t shirt this summer as follows:

"If the points between us and them over the park were a team, theyd also be above us. Shame Shame......"

 

[Ballly]

I keep saying it... do you reckon Carlo signed a long term deal cos he was thrilled at the prospect of working with the likes of Morgan Schneiderlin? He knows the score. Hes always known the score.

He'll stay around until his retirement is padded enough for that villa on Amalfi coast. Then he'll make a quiet escape with "club will always stay with me" crap. Said it since the start. He doesn't do rebuilds, especially those required here but the Premier league will pay big so why not? This summer, I hope I'm proved wrong and we start mixing and signing in the top player category. However, I think a lot of you will have nowhere to go with your optimism as this guy in most eyes is the best we can get. In Carlo's eyes, if he squeaks us into Europe in a season or two, he'll have succeeded. Will most be happy with 7th every year if thats what he accomplishes and then leaves? Really interested to know what most on here expect from him. Top 4? Top 7? top 10? What would be viewed as a success for you personally during his time here? Personally, I think (like Mourinho at Spurs) we're being taken for a ride!
