Match Thread Bournemouth vs Everton

[overkill]

So, who starts v Huddersfield?

Pickford

Coleman Holgate Zouma Digne

Schneiderlin Gana

Walcott. Siggy. Bernard

Tosun

That's what would go with, however morgan. Might not be back in time.
It's unlikely he will drop baines,, I have a feeling jagielka might walk back into to the team.

do we need 2 defensive midfielders at home to huddersfield?. keep davies in for schneiderlin, the rest of your team is what i would go with as well.

It'll shock no one to hear that I also detest zonal marking

Man to Man still works, you just have to work hard to make it work

It's a media term anyway it's called marking however.

gutted with 2 points dropped today. should be seeing that game out. defence still a concern though im confident marco can sort it. zouma, digne and mina hopefully brought in over the next few games.

Memoriies of the 3-3 a few years back. At least the enthusiasm is back from the support.

 

[RomanReigns]

could be worse, could be ac milan and go 2-0 up only to lose 3-2

 

[Toffeelover]

Stupid of Baines to give a penalty away like that.

I'm in the relaxed about it camp. Does not mean happy to concede two quick goals when game should have been in our hands.

However, we are a team who focus on our game rather than nullifying the opposition (remember trying to nullify west bromand swansea last season?).

Of course it will take time, there will be weeks this season when today's disappointing draw will be an even more disappointing defeat I have no doubt whatsoever. However there will also be times we grab the third and record handsome wins, even away from home that we have not done so for years. I don't write this season off as transition but we must accept we are light years off the year on year investment of the top 2 or 3 (and in my eyes it is only 2 or 3 now who are streets ahead of the rest). And those we have added this time are yet to be ready or even play in most cases.

It will be interesting when we face the first of the big boys to see both how we approach it and how we shape up. That will give a good steer on the new regime, I suspect we will be encouraged by it.

G-d that was frustrating. I look forward to seeing what Digne can do though.

 

[Stutheblue]

Stupid of Baines to give a penalty away like that.

Key moment for me. Totally needless. Cost us the game in my opinion.

 

[technojoe]

Baines, keane, davies, dcl not starters imo. However lets see what marco does, big big test this job!

This fixture is like standing on the sharp edge of a child's toy left on the floor in your bare feet in the middle of the night, it should be sponsored by a personal claims insurer or something.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Seeing as we'll finish somewhere between seventh and eleventh it doesn't really matter that much, does it? It'll be a nothing season and we'll remain pretty much a nothing side so long as the likes of Baines, Jagielka, Davies are representing us, and we have zero proven strikers in the whole squad.

I understand that Everton want to play attacking football, but at 2-0 up away from home with 15 minutes to go, it is okay now and again to shut up shop, take Davies off and bring Zouma on with an extra one at the back.

I guarantee with this then Wilson wouldn't have got the penalty from been caught between Keane and baines.

Come on Everton
