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

[joebocop]

Bar the Villa (league) and Arsenal games I think our general level of performance has been decent enough, just massively wasteful. Made our superiority count today, that was honestly must win when you consider we've had a generous set of fixtures.

Yeah I agree. When you look at our performances this kind of result has been coming. It's very frustrating that we haven't capitalised on this as we'd be mid-table with just one more win, and I think the team and the fans would feel much more confident that we are above being a relegation threatened team. As it stands we now have to go and get results when we are the underdogs to get to that position. We go into a tougher run now, but I'm actually confident we'll pick up more points than we think over the next 6 games or so.

Ooh er.

No mate. Look at my profile photo.

We couldn't beat Luton last week. Everton v Luton. MATE.

No thank you

Harrison was transformative for the right side. Completely balanced it out. Between him and Garner for MotM for me.

 

[nsno-chris]

XG and most corner winners

Plus 3 points

What a day to be alive

 

[Handball]

I think we can all agree that today has been thoroughly satisfactory all round.

Our midfield looked good today please take note Dyche - plus DCL ran them line brilliantly deserved a goal to cap that no 9 positition the form he showed before injuries.

If we'd won against luton I imagine the bottom three would pretty much be cemented

Yeah we fluffed that one right up

Ah well we don't want the relegation battle to get boring...

If doucs could actually kick a football it would have been 6 or 7 nil

 

[BigDunc'sFod]

Onana, Garner (Who thought that CM partnership would work?),

Everyone except Dyche?

You mean gave it anything to work with - Young is a ridiculous nonentity at RB.

 

[DuncanPatterson]

No I'm alright to be bored by it currently mate.

Only another 30 games to go...

Good win... does that make up for the previous 3 we should have got anything from? Not just yet....

Let`s not fool ourselves whatever happened so far this season our next game will be the same old story where we don`t show up and they beat us without getting out of second gear...

That is for a few weeks ahead, let`s just enjoy this win and hope it is the turning point which should have been last week.

Positives...

3 ACTUAL GOALS scored, could have been 8
1st clean sheet of the season
Everyone played well but thought Jack Harrison, Onana, Garner (Who thought that CM partnership would work?), DCL were just above the average.
Luton lost
Sheff Utd lost
Burnley lost

A win v Luton would see us 13th right now just 1 point off the top half.....

Good day all round, credit to the manager, he has done well today. I`m having Dyche again if we win against Liverpool to make up for Luton......

Only negative is that in the league we are still below a point per game with an xL (Expected Loss ) next.

Dyche wouldn’t have played Onana but Gana. He got lucky

anyone got the goals lads?
