Bournemouth vs Everton: Preview, Predicted Lineups and Where to Watch

On the other hand, we haven't won there since the Cup in 2016 and never in the Premier League... surely that has to end eventually?

Looking forward to see Alcaraz get a start with Dewsbury-Hall playing deeper alongside Jimmy Garner, it could be one of those forced decisions that actually improve us overall?

Safe journey to all those who are travelling.

Not looking forward to this, bogey ground for us.

On the other hand -- they are exactly the sort of team who could carve us open.

If we play the same team, I think we will lose.

Our (Moyes's) options are severely limited. Whoever plays tonight needs to be an 8 or 9 out of 10.

Does anyone know when Jarrad Branthwaite is due to return?

I don't think even Moyes knows but my own view is that we are not likely to see him start till February at the earliest and even that might be optimistic given our track record.

It's a serious injury, needed an operation in the end.

We didn't see anything from Grealish or Ndiaye in our recent pasting. And surely to god Alcaraz has to start.

If they can't get back, they shouldn't venture into attacking positions.

If possible, I would bring Ross Barkley back.

We had plenty of possession but seldom anywhere to go.
We need capable full-backs to allow our weakened midfield to play higher up.

Does anyone actually believe that Ross Barkley would want to come back to Everton?

I'd have him back in a heartbeat but I think the abuse he took would make him think twice.

I was gutted he left

I thought now we have a new stadium we were going to work on our new outlook. Forward thinking, not Kenwright-style dewy-eyed backward thinking.

It's time to forget about past players.

That's exactly what I observed, they doubled up on both Grealish and Ndiaye but, with nothing coming down the middle or any back-up for the wide men, we were useless.

Only when Charly Alcaraz and Tyler Dibling came on did we look anywhere near threatening.

He got injured again at the weekend.

They have had a few poor results this season and usually because the offence has been weak. Bournemouth are no great shakes but they play a good game and can be awkward as Everton found out three times last season.

I don't care who scores but a 1-0 win would do me.

I've not seen much of him but whenever I've seen Semenyo I've thought he is just the kind of player that we never seem to sign: pace and can shoot/finish. Their lad Brooks always seems to turn up against us, as well.

I would love us to get a win tonight but a draw would be okay. We need to see some sort of response because Dyche will have Forest fired up for the next game and we're only ever 3 bad results away from a crisis at Everton.

New stadium, new forward-thinking owners... the last thing we need is going back to the past in signing players.

Before you know it, we will be going looking for past managers ... oops!!

Where's Davey's big match smothering suffocating pillow? Still there's always the hope...

I'd love it there was some way that you could say that to a coach of travelling blues, but if there was you wouldn't, would you?

If they score first though, all bets are off. Can you still mention bets on here?

I was very nervous Saturday fearing the “after the Lord Mayors show” that materialised but when asked by a friendly Geordie for my prediction I replied that I don't do predictions in case they bite me in the arse.

But I NEVER give up on a game before the team is even announced. In fact, whilst I didn't think we'd come back at half time on Saturday I stayed until the end as a 3-3 could perhaps maybe possibly have been there to witness.

Fingers crossed for tonight. I really want Iraola in next season but tonight I want Moyes to give him a good old schooling in devastating counter-attacking football!

This is another Moyes write-off fixture because we've got Forest on Saturday

Dont know why given our record there but I fancied us tonight, and it was well deserved.
