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

[MACCA75]

Been relying all season on soft penalties and wonder strikes from Gylfi and Wayne.

Maybe Sam sees McCarthy as more box to box than he actually is.

 

[Furey1878]

3 defensive midfielders against Bouremouth...

I know Vlasic is injured but what about Lookman? Disappointed not to see him in the squad.

 

[JLW]

Stop beating about the bush mate. Are you a fan of Lennon or not???

All pace no end product, and it’s been like that his whole career.

 

[trueblue10]

Originally went for a draw.

Can see us getting 3 points here today.

0-2 Everton.

COYB

 

[Stanley Parker]

Someone hold me and tell me that midfield is a lie

Not much creativity in that suggested team.

Another 0-0 then.

Midfield plays no constructive part in Sam's long ball game.

A mistake Unsworth made as well.

Got me neck brace ready and tilted my recliner back 3 quarters.

Imagine Rocket League with humans

Shocking team selection. WBA showed us exactly the way Allardyce wants it, boring garbage. If he carries on like this he should be out at the end of the season. Hopeless dinosaur as you say mate

He’ll bang on about the ‘unbeaten run’. It’s easy to be unbeaten if you set out to draw every game, regardless of the opposition.

 

[Mozza1987]

How negative is that team. Three defensive midfielders against an awful Bournemouth team who are struggling. We ain't playing City! Joke to be honest.

 

[Furey1878]

Anyway, negativity aside, that team is still good enough to beat these so no excuses Everton. Just welly them please.

Especially a veteran winger playing in front of a young/rookie right back who was in horrible form before this started happening...

Lennon helps defensively and is fast and has a cross on him going forward. No idea why we'd introduce Lookman or Vlasic in this situation, as starters at least. Disappointed they're not on the bench again, but there we go, can't win 'em all.

Its great that he helps defensively, but he provides nothing going forward. He has 0 goals in 2 years in the league. He is averaging 1.5 assists per year over the past 2. THAT is why someone would introduce Lookman or Vlasic, because they wanted to score a goal.

 

[Gladystweet]

All pace no end product, and it’s been like that his whole career.

Is that a yes or a no?

 

[cromofo]

We won't concede more than one, but then again we won't score more than one.


So, 4-5 to Everton it is.

 

[canuckblue]

Well maybe they sbould try turning their tvs on as well.
I remember last season when talking about a mom someone on here saying"I didnt actually see the game but i'll give it to Tom Davies"?????Dont believe everything you read on here.

Someone was going to give their mar to Tom Davies? Rooney must have been gutted.

Its great that he helps defensively, but he provides nothing going forward. He has 0 goals in 2 years in the league. He is averaging 1.5 assists per year over the past 2. THAT is why someone would introduce Lookman or Vlasic, because they wanted to score a goal.

And they'll put Kenny in trouble because he'll get overran again. But at least they run fast and look flashy, as well as uninterested in the team game overall.

Their time will come, now is not that.
