Branthwaite to celebrate new contract with a headed goal from a setpiece

This game has become a must win to steady the ship. We can't really afford another home defeat. We've had a relatively 'easy' start but after 7 games have only 4 points. Yes missed chances have definitely played a part in those home defeats against Fulham, Wolves and Luton, but so has poor defending. Another 1 niller against these will do a treat.

Think Goodison needs to be a bear pit, it's at its best when it is, and there aren't many opportunities left. Those who can need to enjoy it.

Taking our seats at Goodison last week we were quite confident of 3 points .This week not so much. It will be tense . Bournemouth will fancy it if they score first . We need to take the chances we missed last time out . Otherwise ,well we know the rest.

Is time for the players manager to take the 3 points today, talk is cheap they have to perform . No excuses today 3 points or it is not good enough

Start the game like we’re goal down, please. Front foot, no mercy.

Branthwaite to celebrate new contract with a headed goal from a setpiece

I've been putting a few quid on him each week so he owes me. Although watching our set pieces this season he seems to make the dummy run to create space for tarks to get a header in...

When it gets to 2pm and I see Garner on the right wing ahead of Ashley Young, I think I'll spare myself the hours of misery.

Bournemouth manager not won a single game.. only going one way this

Bournemouth 1st win

And he seems quite confident of getting his first win today . hopefully we send him packing with a good hiding

It’s time for the players to step up and start hitting the [Poor language removed] target when they get a chance to.

Win or walk Sean. Simple as that.

Win or walk Sean. Simple as that.

Don't win and get the rest of your contract paid out in full. I bet he's actually trying for that tbh. Seems like it.

 

[Jeff Jones]

The Calvin Hatters show. Gone fishing.

They're pals, apparently.

 

[ForestBlue]

Dear Everton

Just win!

 

[Martin Alvito]

I'm afraid of this one. It should be an easy three points at home, which is the worst of all expectations to have. If it's fulfilled, it was expected. There is nothing above the expectation, so if we fall short it's rage time.

At best it's like having sex with a long-time SO, where you know what you're getting, except that there's the potential for a downside that crashes your day without the expected result that put the two of you in bed in the first place.
