I thought we played well

I just ran for the train so maybe I've gone a bit mad but...

We were the better team. Poor finishing and 3 brain farts for the goal and sending off.

We dominated in my view.

Came on here and thought I must have been hallucinating. So checked the stats.

More shots. More on target. More possession. All the momentum.

Then I read 'On Moyes that'. Again.

That is on the defence/goalie and Barry and others for poor finishing.

Yer wha..? If that's the best team Everton can put out & still get that result then the club needs to lower its expectations & NOT aim for a European place.

Dissapointed.

Stats just point to poor finishing. I don't think it's anymore complex than that really

Our poor finishing takes the focus off our fullbacks which are more of a concern. Mykolenko is championship level at best. He seems to play on his nerves for most of a game.

Oh I agree that there are other problems but we have enough good chances in that game to comfortably win it.

Agree you can't put all that on Moyes. Garner seems the only one switched on. Move it up a gear at the beginning of the second half and we'd have buried them. We're just too slow getting forward.

They were there for the taking last night.

Won't be going in the away end again. Too distracting being bemused by their terrible songs, laughable gestures to blues miles away, obsession with singing etc. Scruffy gang of bastards on the whole. Boscombe is the most deprived area on the South Coast. No poverty chanting though, tbf.

'Is there a fire drill?' as blues started leaving with 10 to go.

Pickford is crap apparently and it is Moyes fault Barry cant score in front of an almost empty goal.

We have some great players some good ones and somejust decent, but plenty to build on. We are far from the finished product but have a good foundation.

In Moyes We Trust

Did Moyes pay £40 million for Barry?

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think he did.

It’s Moyes fault the team look disjointed though, Barry should have scored but we didn’t play well prior to that, an another poor half got bailed out by a pen. Whatever he’s doing at home isn’t working it’s fine to say it.

We were ok, too reliant on one man though in KDH, the wide lads were luke warm or cold and not sure we were ever fully control in the middle of the park. The defending is concerning, we just seem to go into a hyponotised state, was expecting more solidiry from Branthwaites return but suppose he needs to get back up to speed. LSS, fuck off Everton.

It's us, not me. Fight inequality.

Yeah Branthwaite was somewhat rusty. Gave the ball away the 1st 3 time he had it I think. Decent in flashes too like, just needs the run of games.

I think it was pretty even. They probably played better for the first 65 minutes or so. Notwithstanding the over the top time wasting. Our centre halves defended well for the most part.

We did some nice stuff around their box in the first half, but nowhere near enough of it. Disallowed goal, penalty kick and Garner's free kick that the goalie fumbled, did we really give their keeper anything to do?

We had some possession in their final third at the end while they were sitting back holding onto their lead.

We never looked like scoring from open play.

If we can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.

I don’t think we’ve played well for the last 4/5 games maybe. It was another clueless first half but Bournemouth didn’t look anything special themselves. Was made up we went in 1-0 up an thought maybe we’d get away with it again. Sadly it didn’t happen. They sat back an we had a go once it went to 10 men but we got it all wrong from the start if we’re being honest.

All I’d add is that, by playing KDH as a 10 when all of his best performances have come from deeper, and playing JOB at RB, Moyes is limiting our effectiveness.

Surely anyone with eyes can see this?

Thats another tick in burning my head out with Moyes is his continuing playing players in roles/positions where theyve been better lesewhere

Definitely agree with the RB situation. Patterson played well for the main in thise few games and gave us better balance. Deserved to keep his place.

Not saying he's the answer. But deserved a longer run.

So a bit of a reverse of the Fulham game which was described as a ruthless away win. And people said silva just stood there and watched his team crumble.

This is football these days. It’s largely a 50-50 game most weeks.

Can't disagree. Although tonight we were the better team apart from 10 mins. Fulham were way better 1st half on Sat, but we were better team 2nd half. Draw would have been fair.

Me neither, they look rank.

Did have the salt and pepper chicken one time when I visited on a non match day. Quite nice but dreadfully expensive for what it is.

I follow football scran on twitter and it’s extremely obvious from seeing other clubs offerings and prices that Evertonians are being ripped off with the price of stuff

Just don’t buy one mate?

I’ve literally no idea why you get pissed off wjth the concept of food and drink costing more in a brand new stadium.

In all the years I had.a season ticket at Goodison-don’t thjnk I ever bought more than the odd bag of chips or pint of piss…

But hey- you keep taking to people who only go and who only agree with you- that’s never been this place, mate.

Can’t remenber the last time I mentioned a sausage roll on here tbh- I suspect it was a few times before you have…….

Sorry it resonated so much with you whenever it was I had an opinion on it…..

But seen as you continually bring it up- the brand spanking new stadium was always going to hike food and drink prices up - and I still thjnk that’s understandable. Whether I can afford to buy a season ticket or not.

I appreciate that’s a bit crass to hear from someone who doesn’t go anymore- but surely the point is irrefutable.

Oh- and happy for you, if you can afford a season ticket.
