Great result! Great to see us continue to attack, even when we don’t have to. On another day we’d have scored 6

Chermiti to me in his very sporadic appearances doesn't in any way look like he'll ever have a career in England.

Same applies to Beto, looks absolutely appalling.

A bit early to say that, Beto needs a goal and that’ll hopefully settle him down.

 

[matty1878]

Did you have to mention that? Couldn’t you let us have a couple of minutes of joy?

lol no!

 

[Smurph]

Shape considerably better with 4 in the midfield - significantly less play in transition goes through our limited fullbacks. Garner and Onana must start central when available. Nice to have so many players looking to play on the turn and be progressive. Good performance and good result. Hope Dyche can recognise what he stumbled onto here and build on it.

Job done
next the other lot

that’s a erm “scribble it off lol “

What was the Xg lads?

Poor players, they can't overly celebrate their actual performance. Big club and all....

 

[No Alla Violenza]

Bournemouth were the worst team I’ve seen at Goodison for a long time. Apart from Everton of course

 

[Clarky cat]

It’s hard to imagine it’s going to take 40 points to stay up this year. The bottom of the league is absolutely woeful. It might not be inconceivable that someone stays up with 30.

Agreed. I’d be amazed at the end of the season if any of the bottom 3 finished with more than 30 points.

Of course we won, we had least possession... and this is my issue, if we are to be a team that challenges in the top 10 or for Europe you can`t simply let others always dictate the game, especially not relegation fodder..... Our manager has never been a possession based manager so the chances he can ever get us up that far is very very low if impossible.

 

[Pottsie]

30 points could well ensure survival --- but you never know.
Low block --- pack the mid-field -- play deep and counter.
Wolves did it against Manchester City -- it's not beyond the realms off possibility against Liverpool.

A team to challenge the top 10? ffs mate I'd be haply to go a season without relegation being an option first.

 

[Mark_EFC]

Garner in the middle needs to be 3rd on the sheet every week after only tarky and branthwaite

 

[Mark_EFC]

And we should realistically be on 16 points. Such a shame

Agreed, that Garner-Onana pairing in the middle, with McNeil and Harrison wide is formidable.
