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

[Blue Juice]

Gana is dreadful at attacking football but incredible at winning the ball back. Why would you ever not play him with someone who is the opposite of this? Absolutely no benefits to playing 3 CDM's, hence why you never ever ever see it.

"Oh but we're bad, we might get overrun". We are abjectly terrible, but still 9 places ahead of these who are WORSE. These haven't set up to get a 0-0 but unsurprisingly dont look like conceding because we have no inclination to do anything past our own half.

 

[Ring master]

Well, that's 45 minutes i'm never getting back.

Poor, poor, poor.

must have said the same thing a few times the last week with us lol

 

[Muggins]

No shots on or off target.

Absolutely pathetic. I find it almost bizarre that these lads could not conjure up a shot on goal in 45 minutes of a professional game..

 

[Saaby]

4 defensive midfielders on the field, how we we even create anything

 

[Niapper]

Absolutely fed up of seeing the ball hoofed to an isolated Calvert-Lewin..

I think the lad is a great player but what are we honesty expecting?? Doubt Messi could play this role and better ffs.

Allardyce is not happy though. The camera just caught him eye rolling mouthing “ffs”..

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Rooney has to come on. I want to fight Sam for leaving Vlasic out of the squad again, but Hell just get Bolasie and Niasse on the pitch before it is too late.

 

[Norwegian Cow]

I think gueye and McCarthy should be subbed off, since McCarthy is rusty and Gueye just recovered from injury. Would bring Rooney on, and Niasse to go up front with DCL. Bolasie can come on around 60 min cause he is also not fit enough for 45 min yet.

 

[Deulofeumygod]

Also, snides just jogged back when they scored. No good enough. Beni would have sprinted back.

Snides, McCarthy and jags clear weak links in today’s team.

Lennon works tirelessly but no end product and dcl is knackered and should have been rested.

Rooney for snides, bolasie for McCarthy and niasse for dcl. Play bolasie just behind niasse and have Rooney in the middle with gueye.

ATTACK

 

[TheBigIguana]

He is crap today the worst of all and you try to cover up. Ok.

How on earth you are going to defend with his through ball to their forward.

Because his teammates let him down too. And a through ball goes behind the defense mate. That didn't happen until the pass Wilson made to King that no one did anything about

 

[riddick]

Well, that's 45 minutes i'm never getting back.

Poor, poor, poor.

Would have thought you'd learned your lesson after west brom

 

[nsno-chris]

Lost there last time didn't we...?

7 at the back is working well

 

[tnc85]

mccarthy, gueye was on the floor as well doing a yobo or something

thanks mate. yeah i thought we could have kicked it out of play with him being down. sloppy goal to give away.

 

[Niapper]

Watch Schneids jog back and not even attempt to cover Frasier who he's got 15 yards head start on. Terrible from McCarthy too but honestly appalling from Schneiderlin

Watch kenny

 

[cronullasharks]

Allardyce has mentioned that he’s told the players not to do this. The utter surrender monkeys just go into default fail mode as soon as they get on the pitch. They’ve got nothing about them and have failed numerous managers. They need binning.

Fair dinkum, didn't know that. It's one of the main reasons we don't create anything, if they actually lifted their heads when they got the ball they might actually spot something. It's turgid and disgraceful

 

[hktoffee]

How much is it going to cost to bring us back to the level we were at when we fired Martinez?

200m - 300m in this market. Expensive mistake hiring Koeman and Walsh.

Is this a joke? Or you love 12th place trophy.
