Watched a bit of ToffeeTV who suggest against a team like Bournemouth a bit of individual skill to beat a player is needed to disorganise the opposing defenders and create chances.

Seems plausible, but who amongst Everton can do that? Iwobi, Richarlison?

Would like to see some shots from distance also to draw defenders and create some passing opportunities.

Defence of Everton is not looking so solid, stats acknowledged, I still get a bad feeling when they're being tested.

Also can we bin off this passing around our own penalty box while being closed down? Otherwise we'll get what we gave to Wolves 1st goal.

That's not what cost us for either of the goals against Wolves.

Digne tried to take down a clearance rather than punt it. That isn't trying to play it out from the back, it was just a bad decision.
 
Around this time last year, I watched Everton try and ruin my holiday by letting WestHAm have their way with them sans lube. I am once again on my jollies for this game and hope for better things.

Be thankful we don't do what Poch has Spurs doing with the centre half's right on top of the goalkeeper, it#s the oddest tactic I've ever seen

There’s worse than Bournemouth but Bournemouth are still a step below us.Tthis should be 3 for us with what we got. Already proved to do well against a 3 man back so Bournemouth resorting to that shouldn’t give them much comfort in securing points. Beating clubs like these is vital to us breaking into the top 6 especially away from Goodison.

I think with Kean and Iwobi we can break down a parked bus if Bournemouth choose to go with that route. Still want to see a mid without Siggy at some point with Schniederlin Delph and Gomes in a 1-2.

I’m taking 2-1 for the boys in blue obviously on this one. Bournemouth’s Strikers don’t have their goal scoring boots on yet but scored 1 a game so far against a variety of defenses.

Siggy is not getting dropped for the foreseeable future so you can forget about that midfield 3

At Home yes, but our away record isnt great, as I say most teams in this league have a very decent home record, the teams that dont normally go down.

Im hopeful we can beat Bournemouth, cos I think we have a better team and a better manager, but football doesnt work like that and home advantage is quite the leveller in this league.

But some lad on here reckons Eddie Howe is the new Pep
 

How often does EFC win both the match going in and the match coming out of an Int break ??? I'm guessing it's pretty rare in the recent era
