Match Thread AFC Bournemouth v Everton Saturday 28th November 3pm

[UpperLeftBlue]

Feels like we've lost that one twice. I can't understand how this team seems to think they're good enough to play as easy as they like and still win. Martinez needs to figure out how to get it in their heads that its 90 mins of "go." Nothing more frustrating than watching our, more talented, team lose out on 2 points because they stopped trying.
Galloway got beat so many times in that last 20 minutes and never got any cover. Barry has to be there to cover Galloway for me, we can't have him defending the left side alone. BG has been a good fill-in, especially considering his age, but it's time for Baines to run straight back into the team.
It's not the worst result, but too many more games like this and our shot at Europe via the League will be gone.

still thinking of way of going back in time and sorting this out

 

[GwladysBlue]

Oh right OK. I haven't seen you give much praise when he has organised the team and made subs when we have won.....because we have played crap teams, so you say.

I don't. Let's face it, we got out of jail against Sunderland when they made it 2-2 because they got cocky.

 

[ProZ]

Imagine the shame of celebrating like you had won the CL with a last minute winner, only to conceded from kickoff to Bournemouth, then do the cersei shame walk.

 

[Mo' Better Blues]

Whilst Ross came up with a goal, himself, Kone and Geri all looked ripe for substitution by the 60 minute mark... really can't understand how Roberto was perceiving the unfolding of the 2nd half, and deciding that nothing needed changing....

 

[harry]

Our away form/tactics will see us finish between 6th & 10th. As for a cup, can you imagine this lot in a real pressure game like a final.

Sidwell at Fulham pushes it close.

At least today we were awful and didn't deserve 3 points, we absolutely slaughtered Fulham that day.

 

[toffeejack]

You're wrong. They were obviously told to sit back and hit on the counter. The subs, all defensive ones confirm that. That allowed Bournemouth to push forward and score. [Poor language removed] tactics especially when we had decent possession in the first half.

perhaps, but we got in quite a few decent positions to actually get that 3rd well before the hour mark.

 

[neil999]

We scored with 15 seconds left. Ther absolute most he can add on is 15 seconds, not almost 3 minutes. You can't add time that isn't supposed to be there in the first place. It's like if someone gets injured with 30 seconds left in the game and thatinjury runs through, you still only play 30 seconds, not the 2minute 30 he was down for.

nah, 5 mins time is advised, refs often play 30 secs over this

 

[when i score we riot]

Ffs

 

[wandyr79]

All on Martinez. Sorry if that gets anyone annoyed but today it was in my opinion.

Hasn't annoyed me but you cannot watch such a lazy performane and not blame one player.

Fair enough, if the effort was there and the tactics or the players he bought were just simply crmp but for me it was the players today that should take the blame.

 

[sd_1992]

Martinez changed the winning formula and we bottled it.... It was over the second we subbed Lennon on at 2-1 up

 

[Toast]

Those blaming the fans there.

1260 tickets we got.

Those our are proper go every game lads there today.

They celebrated what looked a late winner like we all would have with limbs and scenes.

Cut them some deserved slack.

 

[yakublue]

Nothing to do with Martinez you silly silly man.

Whose fault was it that our defending was so bad? Apologies if I'm missing something here.

 

[deipnosophist]

It'd be nice to win two PL games in a row...

 

[edge]

second half was awful , from the team , and manager , Bournemouth changed tactics and we didnt counter, dont have a clue what that sub was about at the end, why give them 30 seconds added when it was just a matter of kicking off and whistle getting blown, we got what we deserved.
