Match Thread Carabao Cup: Bournemouth v Everton - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[Toff33Blues99]

This is the team of misfits that Frank absolutely does not want near the club and they know it. They are just collecting their paychecks at this point

Does that include the shower of.. who played sat?

 

[4737carlin]

That's the worry, Gordon and Maupay will probably be first choice on Saturday so if they can't score against them tonight not much hope for the weekend

Good point that

 

[Street end man]

That's my theory we had strength in depth blown out of the windowlol

 

[PhilRegan]

Worrying that a team like Bournemouth only need 1 goal to win against us

 

[f.t.r.s]

Really need to break the mentality our players currently have....
Everything is safety first, backwards....

 

[DanB90]

Wish he’d just blow for full time now.

 

[Houghty19]

Thought first 20 mins we were looking ok since then absolutely no adventure within the team except for Patterson. Awful turgid footy.

 

[witchdoc187]

It’s as if both teams are trying to win the possession game. No pressure from either side.

Except us

 

[Tony1985]

Just seems to be right through the team, the midfield make a pass then don’t move into space. They just seem to make a run to make it look like they are making a run and end up going nowhere.

Everton
2 shots
1 on target
50% possession

Our average is about 1 shot on target per 45 minutes of football.... SHOCKING

Bournemouth
5 shots already
1 on target
50% possession

I have less of an idea what Lampard is trying to achieve now than at the start of the season... I think if it carries on like this Lampard will be shown the door after Saturday.

Yes we have poor players but we are playing in a poor tactical set up, if like he had at Chelsea if you have good/world class players you can make your poor tactics work.

 

[Neiler]

Technically 0 but I know what you mean

Owned to be fair! lol

 

[nsno-chris]

Who reckons we’ll actually score or test the keeper??

 

[Fansince1988]

We are gradually falling to what we’re were like attacking last season, who will save us no Richarlison now.

 

[BigDunc'sFod]

Ponderous garbage.

 

[MikeH72]

These are so bad and yet so unbelievably comfortable.
