Gotta say I'm.impressed with how Robles is moving the ball. It's like having a sweeper to pass to.

I'm OK with that other than I would have rather saw Mirralas on the wing and Cleverley in the middle for osman...or even Besic.

Does everyone else have inside knowledge? Why does Mirralas have to play? Has been working really hard in training? Because he hasn't done much whenever he's came on to warrant a... Has to play... Don't get me wrong I would love to see him start tonight. But if he doesn't then he doesn't. He hasn't done enough for me with his opportunities to warrant a has to play.

Looks like Barry was subbed due to an injury on Sat, so both him and McCarthy will be missing. Hope Besic gets some game time.

For that much they can have him. He's not that good.

Everton 4-1 crystal palace Ross Barkley Stunner.

Cant agree mate. Manager may tell the players till he's blue in the face...if they don't perform then they need to take responsibility for thier performance as well. I don't think they played well in the second half. If they played well but got the tactics wrong then yes...but they didnt perform in the second half. Barkley was invisible. McCarthy was a massive blow. Full backs didn't defend crosses. Our attacking threat died. I think inexperience shone. The players thought they had already won.

His biggest flaw is the same as Mirralas....stop being I interviewed....after every interview he has a poor game..same as Kev. Stop talking and start walking! Though he still managed a goal. He will get a brace next week.

So exciting to see him improving so fast. And his touch IS getting better. And when it's bad ..he seems to be reacting false to it. There was a point when he had a heavy touch yesterday and in a split second he stepped forward to stop the defender getting round him and taking it....he kept possession. Big Dunc made this an art. His goal typifies this, heavy touch, but followed it with a step towards the ball and finished it off.exciting times.

Watching his interview I thought he questioned why the players came out and changed thier tactics for the second half. Which I agree with. I used to feel that once I crossed that white line that I was responsible from that point. Premiership players seem to he able to fall back on the manager to easily these days. I blame the players more than the manager for yesterday. Why didn't the fullback try harder to stop crosses coming into the box for example? Did the manager tell them not to? He should have made another sub earlier. But thats not the reason we let them back in for me. Our lack of intensity on the second half let them back in.

Going for Stones as he seemed to be keeping them at bay for 75% of the game...and when it did turn for them o don't think he was to blame. Thought he was the closest we had to leading by example.

See you next game...you know you will :-) Gotta give them credit for the second half...but what happened to us? Excellent first half, really good stuff...second half we sat there looking pretty.

Yep, Galloway was really exposed in the second half. One on one he was beaten to easily. Kone was great controlling the ball in thier half but then would give it away. This is why we need Baines back so badly.

Gonna go smash something. Couldn't write this shit. But to be fair...they deserved a poi t from this. Well done Bournemouth.

Haha that's what supporting Everton does to you...roller-coaster ride.

Kone redeemed himself with that play. And Ross.....I fking love you. Get of the pitch boys, don't ruin it.

Now that I would criticise Kone, had that under control and have it away. Put us immediate pressure.

Bit unfair there, nothing to do with Kone...just simply a great strike of a ball. You wouldn't mind a player shooting from there 9 times out of 10.

Seeing the replay, you can see that he's already gping down before they collide....if that was Jerry it would be a dive. No penalty.

Mirralas would be nice and fresh right now, give us a nice boost.

Is it me or does Stones seem to be on the end of everything on defence Dominant.

Yes that's right, he came out and didn't get even a yard to it..miles away. Stones cleared a yard off the line and Galloway was ready if he missed, never going f to he a goal. But worrying from Howard.

that's not telling the whole story. We have been dangerous with our attempts while they have been token get it on target shots. Possession has been mainly at the back or mid third easy possession, where as ours has been forward play. They remind me of us last season.

Kone is looking a different player than last season. Get the feeling he is working with big Dunc a lot. Excellent forward release for us.

He's been everywhere today, seems hyperactive. Point to prove maybe?
