Match Thread Everton 0-2 Bournemouth FA Cup 8th Feb 2025

[EGWToffee]

Alot was having a go at me in the transfer thread becausee I was disappointed that we didn`t add a striker and the club have left us short and.... here we are bringing Keane on up front because we have no actual strikers of the required quality.... Yes I was right again!

Well done you.

Shame we didn’t bother playing that first half, Goodison snd the fans deserved so much more.

Hopefully that’s got all the slowness and mistakes out the system before the murderers visit on Wednesday. Can’t let teams bully us and the rs will try to do that from minute one - need a stronger ref as well.

Positives were Alcaraz and iron brew giving us a bit more in the second half. Charly already starts ahead of doucs for me based on today.

Alrhough he did ok, I don’t really want to see Keane at the cf, sherif should have got some minutes.

Young is finished and Tarks has been an accident happening all season. New full backs and JOB and Branners the cb partnership soon.

Did I mention I can’t fkin stand Bournemouth or they’re poxy lower league chanting bellend fans.

Rest and start faster and better on Wednesday toffees - no excuses.

i’ve witnessed a cup and charity sheild

when i was 15 guess i can’t be greedy!

You were 5/7 when we won titles - don't you recall them ?

Barcodes have a final to look forward to, we havent been to one since 2009, that is 16 years... 2 cup final appearances in something like 36 years...

Any way we are digressing........ laters

 

[RomanReigns]

Can we all at least agree that tarkowski was a disgrace

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

All that FA cup history at Goodison park ended with a display from our so called captain that wasn’t worthy of a Sunday league game.

He should be ashamed of himself.

All those solid defensive displays from him when we were otherwise absolute crap, followed by some patchy form possibly down to age, burnout or any number of other factors.

You should be ashamed of yourself tbh.

A bumming to look forward to - make no mistake

No excuse whatsoever for coming out like that in the first half. Complete lack of intensity and urgency.

A complete let down for the last ever cup tie at the stadium.

These players are nowhere near good enough to expect that type of performance to be good enough. If we are not fully on our game and ready for the start of the match, then we've got no chance.

don’t recall half an hour ago

what we talking about again!

Much better second half. Very poor first half.

Garner only bright spot of first half. God knows where Tarks was today. Ref and linesmen were very poor.

Hopefully the end of doucoure.
Young offers very little going forwards. Myko fits the system much better.

Alcaraz looks great. Tim looks good. Harrison looked better than recent form.

Disappointing final game at goodison for me.

 

[SLAVEN BILIC]

At least one of those efforts off the post has to go in. Unbelievable

Tarks settled that result in the first half. Awful 45mins from him.

Set pieces were awful and the officiating was even worse.

Alcarez starts we win.

I love Ndiaye

 

[davek]

How are we on 58% of the possession against that Bournlemout team?

You really dont want the ball more than them.

 

[Bedfordblue]

Goodison’s last every FA cup game

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Slow start to match from us. Embarrassing to go out like that last fa cup match at goodison.

 

[Marius57]

Haven’t had a chance to watch any clips back. Was the pen offside initially the run up? Regardless, tarks shouldn’t dive in like that, always gives the ref a decision to make.
