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

[Runub]

When the draw for this was made I wasn’t particularly bothered what happened given our perilous league position. Given our position has improved significantly I hope we can progress to the 5th round and I think we can. 2-0 COYB

A press conference where no one even asked him about team news!!! Very poor!

According my phone a day ago he said there'd be 5 changes and Alcaraz was in.

Cherries can end Goodison’s Cup life​

In August, Bournemouth sparked a crisis of confidence for Sean Dyche’s approach with their dramatic comeback at Goodison Park, and signalled the end of his tenure when completing a Premier League double over Everton last month. They also holed whatever belief remained in Frank Lampard’s reign as Everton manager with two emphatic wins in five days in the League Cup and Premier League in 2022. The Cherries, in a nutshell, have form for flooring Everton and can also signal the end of Goodison Park’s life as an FA Cup venue should they overcome an opponent who are much-improved under David Moyes. Defeat by Liverpool last weekend ended an unbeaten run of 12 games in all competitions for Bournemouth, who simply lacked the quality that Mohamed Salah gave the league leaders in front of goal. Andoni Iraola has otherwise maintained momentum throughout a serious injury crisis and will hope it leads all the way to Wembley as reward for an outstanding season so far. Andy Hunter

RS reporter. Nuff said.

To be fair, Niasse wasn’t played because he was eye-bleedingly bad. The ‘match fit’ thing was a lie to try and cover for that

Didn't Niasse arrive injured? He wouldn't be the only one,would he?

 

[Blue Alert]

If Niasse is out injured tomorrow there’s no point in showing up, frankly.

Feeling a lot better playing Bournemouth in our current form than a few months ago. I’m feeling a 3-1 Everton win with at least one goal from Alcaraz.

Honestly can’t wait for this, I’ll always love the FA Cup.

I think there’ll be changes to the 11 but not massive, maybe 2-3. I think he’d be daft to do that like. Get in front, control the game and then make the changes.

A cup run/win would be a perfect ending for the old girl, and a bright start for the new era.

It's the eldest. It's the purest. It''s football.

Today it's time to wear the long-sleeved one again.

UTFT!

my problem with changes is, he will bring people like Harrison Keane and Young in, and we will lose as those 3 played last time we played this lot

 

[The Binman]

We definitely owe them one, im actually optimistic we are going to win this one!!

 

[Exeter_Gently]

We should be confident in the fact in whoever we play from now till the end of the season we're going to give them a game,especially at home.

No more sitting back at home and conceding the ball to the opposition.
