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

[brieverton]

People asking at the start of the week if we had to choose a league cup or league win, which would it be?

Give me strength for God's sake.

 

[navidson]

I'd like to fire Maupay out of a cannon

Also, bring Cannon on

 

[Librarian]

We have like one fast player and one strong player in the side mate

All I ever hear is about engines, putting a shift in and strength in the tackle.

They can’t pass the ball

 

[Timbucktoo]

Great idea to rest so many first choice players on Tuesday, just so they can turn out and look like getting an equally bad result against poor opposition.

 

[hktoffee]

McNeil is so slow.

 

[billybeeru]

Oh good we’re trying to play out from the back again.

That doesn't mean they're good athletes lol

That's what I thought. Iwobi is athletic. Can't think of anyone else

 

[Blue Neon]

Get Cannon on NOW! He's not ready but he'll run and knows where the goal is.

 

[lungo]

Lampard will have a taxi waiting.
Moshiri will be on the phone about 4.30.

This is like the defeat at Norwich last season under fatty.

We are really, really bad.

Not true. we gave Norwich a game. We are even worse now.

Which one is it?

 

[Thomasc]

Can’t even take a goal kick correctly

Absolute shambles

Gray is fast. Onana has above average strength. Everyone else is pretty much an average or worse player on pure athleticism.

Iwobi isn't even fast, he's just fast for us.

60th minute....

1 SHOT ON TARGET

Not sure how Frank can survive or defend this....

 

[Colonel Getafe]

I didn't think there was a world where I would support this, but we seem to have blundered into it. I think it's 100% justifiable at this point.

'The laws of the game permit a referee to abandon a match when they can't guarantee safety. Well, I've just told my lads that I can't guarantee theirs. I'm not sending them back out there when this referee doesn't stop play for our head injuries, but does for theirs. This referee won't send an opposition player off for a clear red leg-breaker. I'm sorry, but I'm not asking my players to put their careers at risk when the FA obviously could give two figs for their welfare.'

So.... "we're not getting decisions and they are" is 'justification' for refusing to play, is it? Perhaps we could take all the balls home with us too, or throw a synchronized tantrum? That'll do the trick. ?
