Match Thread Everton 2-3 AFC Bournemouth (Sat 31 Aug 3:00 PM)

[Blue peter]

Lose this and the place will be toxic.

It can’t possibly be any more toxic than it is now.

 

[jamieni]

Is Mangala already available?

Depends if he was registered on time. Im gonna guess no?

Lose this and the place will be toxic.

Tbf a draw at home to Bournemouth, on the back of two defeats where we've played absolutely rancid football and lost by 7-0, is wholly unacceptable today.

Especially if you were picking out your most likely to win games, at home to Bournemouth (despite our recent record against them) wouldn’t be too far from the top.

Hoping for a positive reaction today and some points on the board. Maybe we can see some of the new signings on the pitch as well from the start. Dyche can always take them off if they don't perform. But he needs to freshen things up a bit. Not expecting these things though. Just hoping.

And we all know what Everton and Hope do to you!

There is no way this guy is playing, he has not been on the grass yet

Err yes it can

 

[Kev The Rat]

Going to be absolute murder today outside the ground if we lose

0-2

Can't wait for the team news to be published. Copy Paste from the last two league games. He's good at ctrl c and ctrl v is our Sean I'll give him that

 

[james2805]

Lose today and Dyche needs to go straight in the bin after the match

 

[tnc85]

Must win game!
Sadly if they score first, we don’t win.
Hoping Ndiaye and O’Brien start today.

Hoping Ndiaye and O’Brien start today.

So am I but I don't think we have any hope whatsoever. It will be Keane and Doucoure and his usual bands of undropable chums !!!

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Big game isnt it?

Couldnt half do with a win to get us going ahead of international break and an iffy run of games.

 

[blue in oxford]

just setting off with a smile on my ugly mug hope still smiling on way home

…never really understand the ‘Keane is undropable’ posts, when the lad hardly played last season and even Godfrey was selected ahead of him.

At this point he’s preferring Keane but I’d expect O’Brien to leapfrog him just as Branthwaite did early last season.
