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

One thing just amazes me. For the entire Duche reign weve had this inability to deal with crosses. Im not sure the blame is for Pickford or the others or all. But wouldnt you be in training pinging balls into the Famous Five and get them to jump, head balls out?!

This is Everton ( Part 498)

As we have no fixture now until September 14th,

We will reward the players for all their efforts in the first 3 games of the PL season.

Off for a weeks 'warm weather' training ( riding bikes and lounging by the pool) in Sunny Portugal.

Pickford has one major weakness. He's too small - and does not dominate his 6 yard box as all great keepers must.

Very few modern goalkeepers 'command their area'.

Pickford is basically glued to his line.

They are fine in training same as our strikers can finish in training.
A real game is a different ball game.

 

[chippy1722]

There were 3 at that point. 30seconds a goal, 2 sets of subs for them and one or two for us. 6 was insane.

They made 5 subs, that will affect injury time too.
We had the same 6 mins to score the goals they did.
Hopefully Dyche will pipe down with his PL experience waffle, we had no new signings on that pitch for the collapse.

They say time is a great healer.

The RS beating man utd three nil with three shots on target... We had 8 yesterday... Not clinical enough.

 

[zebedee]

Only humbling thing is seeing utd on 3 points. Major issue is after the international break they'll kick on. I don't want to call for a managers head 3 games in but his in game management is just in non existent

Didn't we do the same against the Barcodes? Me and a mate, confident of a win, left early doors to get the ale in and went to the Wilmslow 2-0 up or similar and after ordering my warm scotch and flat mixer was baffled at the final score.

 

[AUXLEN]

I've handed my ST to me auld fella because he's in his mud 70s and loves going the game (He watched Pele at GP). I am so worried that these useless idiots will give him a heart attack.

Yeah we brought Tom Davies on to sure things up and he gifted them two goals in the last few mins.

Best ask him to hand it back then in the circs maybe

I can't stop watching the highlights, it's just unbelievable. Christ.
