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

I mean he played it the last 10-15 mins, so why not sit Sig and bring in another runner that Lookman can find?

No he didn't he drifted inside off the wing. That's not the same as playing number 10

 

[Leeboy1974]

because he has been the only one who has been half decent?

He’s put in 1 cross

 

[nsno-chris]

Bournemouth have conceded about 18 goals in the last 3 games

We can’t get 1 shot on target

First 30 mins we were really bad. Bournemouth all over us and out numbering us in all parts of the pitch. Last 15 mins we improved but still not that good. We are a team that struggles when pressed and Gomes has players swarming over him like a rash when he gets the ball because he is about the only one that can get us on the front foot. Lookman is looking ok especially when he drifts inside. We have to start as we finished and pray the ref is up to the task and starts spotting these fouls all over the pitch. Richarlison is a frustrated figure once again but would be loathe to change it as he can pop up with a goal.

 

[Irish nsno]

lookman decent
but we look no better than a Allardyce team

Kouma playing like funes mori.

 

[Bigjoe]

no its not. its the manager

Nope players are at fault period.

 

[DanB90]

WHY IS IT THAT EVERY TIME A PLAYER LOOKS TO BE PLAYING WELL PEOPLE WANT TO MOVE HIM TO A DIFFERENT POSITION?!?!?!

Drives me up the absolute wall.

Its nuts init.

The echo wrote a piece the other day saying how silva should play Digne and Baines together, with one of them playing further up the pitch because Leighton had a good game. Against a bloody league 2 side.

 

[TyphooToffee]

I'd put Richarlison on the left, take Bernard off and bring on DCL. Richarlison is wasted as a No 9

 

[Norwegian Cow]

Nope players are at fault period.

you are joking right? Can't be sure with all these strange opinions on this forum.

 

[Frank1981]

Anyone that paid attention knew Marco Silva wasn't the answer.

 

[Deulofeumygod]

45 minutes against one of the worst away sides in the league with 0 (Zero) shots on target... Embarassing!!!

We must have THE WORST shots on target stat in the league. Begovic has had nothing to do, he could go for a cup of tea..

45 mins - Zero shots on target. This is getting boring, seems like I`m writing this on every match thread.

It`s getting to the point where I want us to lose so Marco Silva gets sacked quicker. He is proving he is not the way forward.....

We get a free kick in their half, instantly give it to the CB and give it away in our own 3rd, WTF. PLAY FORWARD!!!

How is Silva to blame?

Did he buy Siggy who has broken down our attacks? NO

Did he start Lookman who we all wanted to start for a while? YES

Did he help get Digne, Bernard, Gomes to join the club who have been three of the best on the pitch? YES

Did he train us to give the ball away this much or could that be the players' fault?

 

[Mickey]

Could take siggy off and play 2 up top. Not at it today.

 

[chippy1722]

Why does he play Richarlison upfront, he’s never in the game and offers nothing. As a CF he’s worse than DCL, Tosun and Niasse. Either get him on the wing or take him off.

 

[TheBigIguana]

I'd put Richarlison on the left, take Bernard off and bring on DCL. Richarlison is wasted as a No 9

Did you see what he did when he was wide on the break? Not sure that's the quality out wide we need

 

[TyphooToffee]

That’s how bad we have become happy with 0-0 at home to Bournemouth

I won't be happy
