Barry looks lost up front. He wins headers but can't score with them. I'd like to see Jack in the 10, with through balls to Beto. Get Ndiaye back left and try Dibbling on the right, where we bought him for allegedly

Decent approach play but absolutely awful final ball/cross, zero service to Barry.

Ndiaye having his poorest game for a while, looks like he's nothing in the tank.

Not sure how we change it up, got to give Dibling more than ten minutes at some point, can't be arsed watching McNeil come on and do fuck all again.

It seems like one of those weird games where Beto/Mcneil score and we win.

Tim looks petrified, everyone else looks petrified of the ball going near him.

KDH and Grealish managing to keep up appearances but as soon as they get on the ball they're playing a different game completely.
I think if we're dreadful, by the same metric Bournemouth were too.

I'd say it was a mixed bag from a group of players who are a bit of a patchwork. Some ok passing up until the final third, but we didn't seem to create any real chances that half.

I thought we'd create a bit more with Alcaraz in there too, but outside of some decent crosses/corners from KDH it's been nothing from the rest.

Another example of Beto getting better by not playing.

Honestly not as bad as I was expecting in some respects.

Bad delivery/decision making in the final third a few times.

No trust in Iroegbunam by his teammates or honestly in himself. He is going to get caught at some point and they will either break on us or he'll foul them and be sent off.

Not many options to change it other than bringing one of Dibling or McNeil on and moving Alcaraz beside KDH.

Played alright but we just arent fast enough with the ball to get behind teams. Ndiaye has been awful with the ball today.

Would like to see Tim off but then who do we put there other than Patto RB and Garner back in midfield?

Maybe it’s my failing memory or spending a lot of time blocking memories of Everton games but has Barry been given one presentable chance all season apart from the one he missed?

Looked as good as we could there.

Tim is having another shocker unfortunately.

Looks petrified of making a mistake.

Grealish and KDH playing on their own at times.

Terrible match.

I love the lad but Alcaraz has been very poor. Give the ball away pretty much every time he's had it. I think Moyes will be happy with a point, so not expecting any changes unless we concede.

Bournemouth have also been poor.
