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

[DanEFC92]

Tarkowski, Beto, Doucoure. All having Shockers.

 

[TheBigIguana]

This is one of those where Doucoure is so bad it’s 10v11. Still time for him to turn it to 10v12.

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Killing us in the middle.

 

[Davideeyore]

Too many players are off their game. Not good enough.

 

[pfim]

Bournemouth don’t have plumbers for centerbacks, so at least Doucoure needs to come off. Between Adams and the two CBs, Beto and Doucoure are not in this match

How did Bournemouth become so far ahead of us

They’ve had no PSR concerns hampering them that I’m aware of, they were decisive in bringing in a progressive coach in a key moment, and they’ve backed him with squad investment.

 

[allen]

They are so much sharper than us everywhere.

I hate Everton as much as any Evertonian but Jesus, fellas.

3 wins out of 4 after taking over from 2 years of absolute rot, and this is how we react after a crap half of footy??

Worst case, we’ll just say we’re focusing on the league. Relax.

Agreed. And people saying this is like being back with dyche. It's not.

You can see we're playing with a similar shape to the Leicester game. Bournemouth are just a better side than they were and up until the penalty it was an even game. Need to make sure we don't concede again before half time, and we're still well in with a chance. I would take off young and doucs and bring on Harrison and alcaraz.

Daft ref

 

[Neiler]

Mullard by their press.

 

[TheBigIguana]

The thing is the gap right now is one incredibly stupid decision. We aren’t good enough to have them.

 

[OlDirtyBluenose]

This is horrible

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Thank God the February transfer window just opened.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Losing three times to AFC Bournemouth in one season. Sigh.

 

[Rich1878]

Killing us in the middle.

Honestly, I think Doucoure is killing us. We desperately need a change there
