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

[b-rad]

Could do with results going our way as well as a win.

Chelsea + United need to beat Brentford and Burnley

There are at least 5 teams much worse than Brentford. They won’t be in the mix come May.

Beat Bliverpool in the derby

Think Branthwaite is a yellow away from missing that, so what's the odds he avoids a yellow today then picks one up before the derby? Keano to the rescue!

Another Dyche 'masterclass' youtube.

Blessing in disguise Gueye being injured

Disguise?

Missed the first half. But glad to see he has finally decided the play Garner at CM and then use an actual winger at RM.

And that both of them have then scored.

Sounded like we were unlucky t not score a 3rd. Was a bad miss by DCL or unlucky to hit the bar as it was a difficult chance?

Unlucky. Got up well under pressure. Not sure if it might have clipped the defender also.

You think that’s good then good for you; maybe my standards are slightly higher

The main thought I had the first half was "this looks like a championship relegation battle, not premier league." Dire stuff all around. Yeah, two great finishes, but both off of key defenders literally falling over.

 

[Amokachi1995]

Next goal is going to be crucial Clive.

 

[Davidoff]

Considering all they (allegedly) do in training is work on shape, proper all over the place whenever defending set pieces

4 more and a clean slate please

Ball in the box, good albeit slightly floated header, a few inches lower and it goes in, unlucky really.

Onana had a good chance 10 sec later and it went a few inches out wide too.

In truth those were our 2 chances, the goals - you saw how they happened, doubt the plan is "hope an opposition defender has a brain fart" for the first, the 2nd is a fantastic strike but we really can't expect those to happen often.

we need it

I'd like to see Harrison getting himself involved more, he has showed a few times today he has a very good first touch. The one he pulled down in the area only for his shot to hit Calvert Lewin, the first touch was sublime. He does seem to let the game pass him by a bit though. Having said that his finish was nice to watch as was Garner's for the first goal.

Pretty sure it clipped the defender.

Thought it might have.

I’m on record as having had enough of Dyche, so I’m not defending his style.

But what I expect from Dyche is exactly what we got there. Not great football, but effective football.

None of us can complain at being 2-0 at home at HT, given what we’ve had to put up with.

Hed have had Gana on the pitch and this would have been very different.

Need young off now
