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

[steven]

Dacoures quickest thought is how to avoid heading the ball

He is good at not taking throw ins too.

First half highlights here -

Doubt Bournemouth are arsed if they win or not.

No excuses, Lampard has to take off Keane or Mina and bring on an attacking player - if he doesn’t it’s criminal.

He needs to take off 2 of them, plus Davies, plus Doucoure, plus Gordon.

5 players absolutely robbing a living at this club getting minutes. Absolutely shambolic, 3 at the back when we are so poor up top.

Pathetic performance and its not good enough.

How Gordon wasn't sent off for that dreadful challenge who knows.

It's not unlucky...unlucky is when you hit the bar or the goalkeeper makes a fantastic save. Davis chance is unforgiveable...has to at the very least hit the target.

Did it take a bobble though? Need to see a replay.

What times kick off lads?

I appreciate the optimism in just having one more check to see if the “old guard” can play some decent football

Now please make 6 subs at half time

Why is every first instinct to look backwards for the safe option?

Even when they put 2 passes together and get beyond the first press they turn back, take the forward on backwards and give it to cb or goalie.

Doucoure the worst offender, never looks forwards.

 

[diggerdestroyer]

3 centre backs go up for a corner… corner is played short. How thick are Gordon and Davies there

plenty of examples of that in davis career as a footballer.

I don’t think his time is up yet, but I’m really glad we have a world cup as that brings us much closer to the Jan window to try and sort out this pathetic front line.

If it was a case of the front line missing alot I`d agree, we dont create anything, like I said the whole of this season our average shots on target per 45 minutes is 1, 0 in two games this season.

We look far better in the 4-2-3-1 with Iwobi in the 10 we saw against Palace, we haven`t seen it since, if it was Rafael I`d swear he was trying to take us down!

 

[Jacob]

Gordon has become a right pain in the arse. He needs to concentrate on his own game rather than acting hard with the opposition. His control and decision making are very poor... buzzing about totally lacking the precision you'd expect of a professional footballer. He's not the only cab on that rank either as we know only too well.

 

[nsno-chris]

I’m going for Demarai Gray on at halftime

 

[JohnRoss23]

Doubt Bournemouth are arsed if they win or not.

Fully expecting them to kick our you know what on Saturday.

 

[atypicalusername]

I can't be the only one who thinks we can win this right?

 

[ForeverEverton]

Booooooooooo

 

[Davidoff]

If it wasn’t for you guys I’d hate being a blue

I'm not even watching, just reading through this
