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

[Leylo]

Bloody ell we need this one... just getting ready to go the game need a pint before the stress starts

Lose this and it will be Baines in charge for the Derby.

Win this mate , and Id still have Baines in for the derby

The question therefore has to be, why the lack of intensity?

We've shown we can do it with performances away from home, yet for some reason at home we look inept at putting teams under real pressure.

Yes, we make chances, but we never look a real threat - if that makes sense. That's why the whole xG argument frustrates me, as we need to be clinical.

I want Everton to come out today with real intensity; I want the line-up to put Bournemouth under pressure from the start as teams like to sit deep against us.

The longer we do not score, the easier it is for teams. God, what I'd do for us to go in at HT 3-0 up.

The intensity comes from the manager.
We should do that at home against every single team we play including City Arsenal and Liverpool, that should be a given and then some tactical nous sprinkled with it. Dyche doesn't have that in his locker.

We might win today we might win convincingly but it wont change my mind on him one iota.

Sack him.

First game this season going up where I'm not confident. Hopefully that is a sign that will flip the result accordingly.

Just need to prove that the Luton game was a blip but I'm not sure the players have the bottle.

I feel we may go back to the formation that played Villa recently with Gueye missing out.

A loss here or maybe even a draw and the manager is under huge pressure.

 

[Joey66]

I just hope his team selection gives us some chance - No young or Gana - COYB just win .....

The Brentford game was the blip.

If Dyche doesn't change his ways its up to Goodison and a prayer for the wing.

 

[spectateur]

Christ no , then it's hooffball.

Just start like the Fulham Wolves & Luton games....but convert some bloody chances.

And don't gift them chances on goal.

The Brentford game was the blip.

That's what I am afraid of.

 

[navidson]

The Brentford game was the blip.

And the Villa game?

 

[Dyo1878]

Rumour going around that apparently Onana has been dropped because he was late to training.

If this is true, we are not in a position to be dropping our best players for the sake of being late to a training session.

 

[Blue Roo]

Dyche has a good spine to the team - Pickford, Braithwaite, Tarks, Onana, Garner, DCL - he just doesn't believe in it.

Track the run of McNeil from the corner for the Arsenal goal and it tells you all you need to know about the failure of Dycheball (1.41) -

 

[Blue Roo]

Got to win this

Be watching this from a sunny Greek Isle on a dodgy stream.
A few Cold Mythos will hopefully quell the nerves
