Match Thread Bournemouth v Everton, Sat 30/12/17

[Big Fat Sam]

Deserved to lose by at least three or four there. Lucky to just lose two one in a honesty.

Looks like I picked a good day to be miles from a TV. Regarding Bolasie coming on ahead of Vlasic and Lookman, I’d guess thats to get him some game time and get his fitness levels up

What times kick off lads?

What times kick off lads?

You've missed all the fun

Yes I agree I'd especailly like to see Vlasic play more, I just think maybe the manager doesn't trust youth unless it's and absolute must like Kenny. It's like that with a lot of teams, but they are squad member who have done ok when played, others have been awfull but still play regular.

And Kenny bolstered that mistrust today

The one thing i thought Allardyce would bring to the team was a cynicism when it comes to nipping opposition counterattacks in the bud before they become too dangerous. It appears not though. Virtually every other team in the league would have made sure that Bournemouths winning attack was interrupted by foul means as soon as the ball got into our half. Kenny or someone else should have taken a booking for the team.

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

Outplayed in a draw to West Brom and then losing today. Pathetic. There must be some combination of players that can defend and yet still resemble an attacking threat.

 

[KindofBlue]

Average team with an average manager. We are right where we deserve to be.

We had five minutes of momentum with Rooney, Sig and niasse then we put bolasie on and it all went to hell.

Poor decision that cost us a point. That's on Sam.

Our fullbacks were abused all game. I think JJK is wearing down.

 

[Super Kevin sheedy]

Safe journey home to the hard core what a hike after that performance

 

[Big Fat Sam]

It all stems from when we signed Bolasie for 34 times his market value. All been downhill from there.

 

[Caolam]

One shot on target against Bournemouth is a disgrace, but it is an improvement on last week. We will get to the end of the season and we won't be relegated because we will frustrate enough teams and get the necessary points. We will be one of the league's most hated teams as we will be happy to sit back and try to score from a set piece, the Fat Sam way.
Our only hope of playing some sort of football comes from the transfer window, we might buy some flair.

 

[Adam-GOTTV]

i wish i could go back in time and cherish watching an everton side that at least put effort in

On a side note, quite depressing that I’m a couple of years off 30 and if you’re my age this is the best Everton have got. Finishing fifth and sixth a couple of seasons and getting to a cup final against Chelsea. Heavy.

Fat sams jam has certainly soured.

 

[LEONARD]

It's a reality check.

We are a team, which in all departments is unable to maintain possession or pass accurately.

We are subsequently under pressure for significant periods of all matches, home and away.

Listening to the commentary on radio Murkeyside today, it was obvious that we were constantly under the cosh.

It was only a matter of time before we went behind, and lot's to rectify for the 2 Sam's.
