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

The nature of that defeat will be damaging beyond just throwing away 3 points.

Psychologically that'll stick with them. They bottled it in the most blatant and spineless way.

Essentially they've set a new PL record for bottling a game - losing from 2 up with 3 mins to play.

Every team we play will know we're mentally weak and exploit it.

Absolute gang of cock ends. Still seething yeno.

I'm not usually like this, but that yesterday just completely ruined my weekend.

Honestly don't think I can watch them again.

Hopefully they will also remember the way the can play. More thought should be placed on the game management rather than they bottled it. That's down to the leaders on the pitch but more so the fella on the side.

It's a little bit disingenuous this supposed stat as there is more injury time played now than ever before. It is 3 goals in about 10 minutes I bet you a team has come back from 2-0 down and scored 3 in that period before but I can't be bothered to look.

Heard Broja has asked to go back to Chelsea reserves

I feel sorry for Ndiaye and the likes of Mangala, Lindstrom. Having the Famous Five of Picks, Myko, Keeno , Coleman , Tarko behind you must be reassuring

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

Does anyone think 6 minutes injury times was a joke?!?! I expected 4 minutes

Are you mad? Did you see our clean sheets last year?
Goals is our issue

Past performance is a guide to future performance. Performances are the best guide to long term points accumulation. Please educate yourself.

As soon as someone says ‘educate yourself’ you know they’re a complete tosser

Exactly right. I actually counted about 3.

Something similar happened against Dyche Burnley and he famously called it to his team at half time, while 2-0 down, "this lot don't know how to win".

That mentality festers in our team, it precedes Dyche and it looks, for all his bluster and experience, he hasn't been able to change it.

It’s a strange one
