Bournemouth v Everton

[Lxxx]

I know I've appealed for a bit of patience for Allardyce but if he carries on serving up this shite, regardless of the players at his disposal, then I'll be asking for a ticket for that bandwagon I can see is filling up.

[sam of the south]

You can only play three defensive midfielders if you really go for it with wing backs and attacking wingers.

Lennon can do it, but Lookman and/or Vlasic should've been on the bench, I feel; expecting Bolasie to be that one spark from the bench after so long out is pie in the sky at this stage of his recovery.

[Smingers]

Fat Sam would be happy with a draw against these. Not good enough

[Cuttyblue]

Hear them boooooos...

I've been a Sam stalwart.  This is crap; our manager's got this all wrong today.    

[SANA_DR0]

i think Koemans given the team talk and made the team selection the last 2 games.

so fucking negative we deserve to be behind.

[Dr. Sponge]

That was so bad. Poor team selection from a poor squad.

[Bluedylan]

That was a disgraceful 45 minutes.

And weirdly it was still better than West Brom.

[howard1334]

No, no what I'm saying. I'm providing the context.

It's hard to win away in the Prem. Apart from the top teams, others don't set up to try and win away from home. Historically, we have very rarely tried to win away from home and very rarely actually won away from home. Even when we did try, we generally didn't manage it. Recently we have been a year without winning away from home so it makes sense to try and play for a point to begin with to try and build some confidence.

Uninspiring away performances were here long before Sam Allardyce and will be after he's gone.

This sort of game is not how you build confidence; I suspect it will have the exact opposite affect. And we have drawn or won seven games or so in a row, so I think everyone in the squad could handle in mentally if we went for it just a wee bit and lost.

[Shogun]

Thought the moment when we were breaking and it depended on James McCarthy playing a through ball to put Idrissa Gueye in on goal just about summed our attacking threat.

Get McCarthy off at HT and put Rooney on.

When our managers going to realise McCarthy is a waste of space?

[Faceatthefence]

Shocking performance,these are really poor and weve gifted em a goal and never troubled them,i wanna choke martina with my bare hands,keane over rated and dcl looks burntout.

[Everton Mint]

One bad error and they score, not the manager's fault.

Game plan out the window now. Changes at HT rather then last 20 mins.

[eyesalwaysblue]

Big half time for Sam.

[loroloco]

so this is it then is it? playing for nil all draws in all of our away games. add to that the top 6 that we just accept are better than us and so play for for nil all against them at goodison too and that leaves us with 13 games per year that we´re gonna actually try and win? not having that.  complete and utter dog shit playing for a scoreless draw against bournemouth. i understand keeping it tight but not even trying to score a goal is utter bollox.

[Fynci]

i think Koemans given the team talk and made the team selection the last 2 games.

so fucking negative we deserve to be behind.

I don’t know what has happened. The Chelsea game was understandable in part but there are zero reasons why he has set out like this against West Brom and Bournemouth. Pathetic.

[Macca77]

Can't defend his team selection and tactics at all, hes clueless
