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

[cronullasharks]

Really sh!ts me the way the first instinct is always to go backwards. Lennons about the only one who seems to know the way to the goal isn't to go back to pickford.

 

[Joey66]

Nil shots on target again!

 

[evertonarntwe]

We absolutely were.

I swear to god half of you didn't watch the 30 odd games we played conceding a million goals, taking one shot on target across about 10 games and playing players out of position everywhere.

I just said we needed a new manager didn't I? Is it obly Sam in the footballing world that doesn' play players out of position

 

[Norwegian Cow]

Oh, and if you're surprised by that performance, or score line after seeing how Everton lined up - then you don't understand football.

I agree. Bournemouth are just a much better team than us with much better players

/sarcasm

 

[riddick]

Barkley is gone and the other two have looked very average against decent defenders.

Well then better to just sit back and watch the magical duo of Lennon and DCL. Or get another defender on because that is working.

 

[Wat Tyler]

This really has been coming, we haven't played well under Allardyce going forward, and we have been lucky in a lot of the games: Mane and Matip missing sitters at 1-0, dodgy pen v Swansea, goalkeeping error for our goal v Newcastle and they missed a sitter (think it was Cisse), as well as hitting woodwork twice, we drew with Chelsea at home without having a single shot and we cleared two off the line, the WBA game a team who haven't won since August we didn't have a shot until 88th minute, and today, it's the exact same. Dire, dire stuff. Feel for the fans who have sacrificed a day and a load of money on this.

I don't want to sound too negative but I am really struggling to get enthusiastic about our future.

 

[toffeejack]

wtf has happened to the team i love? This kind of thing is happening way too often, especially given the amount of talent we have in the squad. We haven't actually had a good chance in 2 and a half games and we're playing championship level teams at that.

He has to change this at HT, i'd be miffed if we sell schnedierlin to keep hold of mccarthy.

 

[ADT]

pretty sure everyone lost confidence-if they had any- when they saw that bonkers team

 

[Toffeelover]

Been watching a stream, our poor display is there for all to see.

 

[RomanReigns]

whats the point of even going to the match to watch that

no attacking intent whatsovere

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Even when we manage to get it up around the halfway line, there's nobody to pick up loose balls and run with it. Lennon's trying but he's too wide for that.

 

[diggerdestroyer]

3 defensive midfielders just does not work. Dcl is totally isolated. Gial was frim a mistake but we were too slow getting back as well. 80 per cent effort and showing.

 

[Yankfootball1]

Why did Kenny [Poor language removed] out of passing forward in the last second of the half

I know he’s young. He has stabilized the right side. But he offers nothing going forward. I can think of one play since he came into the lineup that contributed to a goal.

 

[Deulofeumygod]

Begovic has been very poor lately and again not one SHOT towards goal. JOKE.

 

[aazak]

McGeady scored for Sunderland.

Just saying like.
