We asked for your thoughts after Tuesday’s Premier League game between Everton and Bournemouth.
Here are some of your comments:
Everton fans
Harry: I watched David Moyes football for 11 years and was bored off my head, now I have to watch dithering Dave football again! It’s just not good enough. We know some players are not up to the job but this is the best squad we have had in years and they don’t know what they are supposed to do. What kind of football are we playing? The supporters are fed up.
Percy: Disappointing at home again. Left-back and striker still a weakness. Any idea why Patterson does not play? We all want Barry to succeed but he’s clearly a long-term development prospect. We played better with 10 men on the pitch. A decent season in comparison to previous years and looking up rather than down, which is great. But now it’s how to cement a place in the top half and put in more complete 90-minute performances. Easier said than done in this league.
Stuart: Story of our season in this game. Poor at home, don’t take our chances, can’t defend from full-back positions and a stupid red card. So frustrating.
Tony: Poor team selection cost us again. With a centre-half playing at right-back and getting sent off while we have a right-back unused, sitting on the bench. We and Bournemouth got what was deserved. I don’t agree with the new stadium narrative.
Bournemouth fans
James: We deserved the win overall despite not playing well. Everton didn’t turn up until the last 20 minutes, ironically after going down to 10 men. One of the seasons’ success stories is James Hill stepping into the defensive void left in the summer. The £1m signing from Fleetwood is keeping his place above some expensive signings. Jimenez too played well as he always does. Another three points. Up the Cherries!
Drew: Gutsy performance in front of a baying crowd – showed real quality and took well deserved three points. What a player Hill is!
Tim: Nobody deserved that Player of the Match more than James Hill. He fought for his place in this team and each match proves why he deserves to stay in it. Our defensive displays give me hope; a stark contrast to the beginning of the season when Diakite was struggling to find his feet. That Brentford defeat was the turning point.
