Match Thread Everton v Bournemouth - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[witchdoc187]

Think we've got to go for the kill early on and feed off the atmosphere in the opening 20 minutes. Get ourselves ahead and play a more settled game.

Thinking of hypothetical scenarios like going in level at half time and Leicester winning is grim as it gets.

When was the last time we did that at home?

We’ll get [Poor language removed] all off the referee massive headache for the premier league gone with these investigations if we go down can’t afford to give the VAR a sniff of anything that could hurt us.

1 - 0 Maupay

I've prepped the appropriate picture, to show my support from now:

 

[RomanReigns]

Interesting fact their last away game against giants Crystal Palace saw them have 40% possession with 5 attempts at goal none of which were on target

We could be 10-0 up at half and I’d still be a wreck

I was like that at 3-nil against Brighton and 4-1. Only settled when there was 2 minutes of normal time left

This is without question the biggest match in the history of our great club.

Everything is riding on this: not just the imminent investment and the replacement of Moshiri and the current regime, but the new stadium, the status of our grand old team as a top-flight club... and quite possibly our club's very existence. We are in a parlous financial state currently, but if we go down it could spell the end.

We simply must win. If we draw and Leicester win against a weak West Ham XI we are down. We have to win this.

If that means us getting behind our players from the first minute to the last then so be it. In fairness to the players I can't fault their work ethic and their perseverance. We saw that in abundance against Wolves. But are they good enough to beat this Bournemouth side? We will find out.

All we as fans can do is get Goodison rocking for what might well be the Grand Old Lady's last ever top division match.

 

[Kev The Rat]

A draw is the max I expect out of this. Whether it’s enough I really don’t know

 

[Gareth Gibson]

Biggest game we will ever play and perhaps our last ever top division match.

We all need to be behind the players from the first whistle to the last.

I can see us nicking it 1-0.

 

[Andy is the King]

We all know how Everton will do this.

Slump to a 0 - 2 deficit. Then the resurrection takes place.

When Bournemouth hit their second, don't lose faith. We've been there before. it's what we do. We are Everton.

 

[OnlyOneThing]

Forest fan coming in peace.

Just give the ball to Jimmy, and he'll do you proud, just as he did for us last Season.

Wishing you to get the win against Bournemouth, and we get to play you next season.

Almost like they just don’t care now

 

[Caso01]

I’d defo play cannon and Branthwaite

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Can see us going behind early.
Massive pitch invasion at 3/4 time.
Leeds have won,as have Leicester.
Pitch is eventually cleared about 7pm,ref determined to get the game finished (PL told him).
Everton knock in a bagful, were safe......or are we?

 

[AussieToffee11]

If Myko is fit, then I think we have got to play 5-3-2

Pickford
Iwobi Mina Tark Mykolenko McNeil
Garner Onana Gueye
Gray Doucoure

Gray and Doucoure to press hard and work with each other. McNeil and Iwobi to provide width and Garner, Onana and Gueye to provide numbers in midfield.

It's an athletic team that should hopefully be able to run all over Bournemouth.
