Unfortunately, many of you posters have not seen the OHEC report this morning of which states that Wilson, King and Fraser are all doubts for the Everton game. If this is the case then I'm afraid that the chances of getting anything from this game is practically zero.

This will mean, as a worse case scenario, we will be going to Everton with Moussett and Stanislas up front of whom does not exactly pose a direct threat to the Everton goal and there will be nothing on the bench (maybe Surridge) in order to change anything. We will have to go there trying our hardest not to concede, for once we do, it will be game over.

Don’t be so negative. Gosling was thrown back in after 2 months out without an announcement from Eddie. I expect all 3 will play a part, classic eddie if you ask me.

Im fairness, I do hope you are correct. On the other hand, if these three player are missing, then we will be in trouble.

Agree we dominated up there last season despite the result. I think Stan had just come back from Injury and played a blinder. We had a Surman / Gosling / Ibe combo with Defoe / King up front. On paper we look so much stronger this year.
It looks like its going a bit wibble up there results wise.

I think the first half in particular saw some of our best football all year should've been over by half time ...i think there were a few sitters missed if i remember correctly....great goal by josh though.
 
Just seen this on the twitter

“Bournemouth's 27 points mark only the 2nd season in the last 16 in which the team in 12th has had at least 27 points”

“It is only the 2nd time in the last 14 seasons though that as many as 27 points have been required to be in 11th as Everton are.”

Lies, damned lies etc....
 
Seamus Coleman is their weak link at the back, had a few suspect games recently.

If we can get the first goal the natives will be very restless as they’ve not been good at home lately.

Very true, but in the same vain we do not want to let them to take the lead as we will be the away side. Once you concede first away from home it is always an uphill slog from there on.

Can AFCB Break The Hoodoo Of Goodison Park?

It’s back to the bread and butter games of the Premier League after our exit again from the early stages of the FA Cup against Brighton at Dean Court. The Cherries make the journey up to Merseyside to meet Everton, this will be the second time these two sides have met this season. The Everton manager Marco Silva has a good record against Eddie Howe so far. In his short time as both Hull City manager and Watford manager in the Premier League, his sides beat AFCB. First at Hull C, his side won 3-1 at the Hull City Stadium. Silva then became the Watford manager and in only his second game in charge and first away game, his side travelled to Dean Court to play the Cherries, Watford won 0-2. He then took over at Everton at the beginning of this season, again at Dean Court in August and his third game in charge, his side drew 2-2 against the Cherries.

Our game against Everton last August at Dean Court, which was both clubs third game and the last league game of the month. The game that had two red cards shown, one to each side, the first to go was Richarlison for Everton a few minutes before half-time which ended goalless. Everton took the lead in the second half through Walcott and five minutes later Adam Smith was sent off for AFCB. Five minutes later Everton were two goals up through Keane and looked to be coasting to victory. The AFCB players had other ideas and hit back nine minutes later via the penalty spot where King narrowed the deficit. Four minutes later Ake equalised for the Cherries and that was how the game finished.

In September Everton had two games at home. They drew the first against Huddersfield Town 1-1 and lost 1-3 against West Ham in the second game. The last two games of the month were away against Arsenal which they lost 2-0. The next game was at home and they beat Fulham 3-0.
October started with a visit to Leicester City, Everton went home with 3 points winning 1-2. The next game was at home against Crystal Palace, Everton won 2-0. It was back on the road for the short trip to Old Trafford to face Manchester United, Everton lost 2-1.
November was a good month for Everton, in their three games they took 7 points. At home they beat Brighton 3-1. Drew away at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea 0-0 and then beat Cardiff back at Goodison Park 1-0.
Everton then went into the busy December period with 7 league games. They lost 1-0 at Anfield in the local Derby against Liverpool. Then they had two home games, drew 1-1 with Newcastle United.
And also drew 2-2 against Watford. Then it was a short trip to Manchester to play City, Everton lost 3-1. Next game was back home and Everton had a heavy defeat 2-6 by Spurs. Burnley away was next, after Everton’s recent heavy defeat, they took it out on Burnley by thrashing them 1-5. Last game after a busy month was the long trip South to face Brighton, Everton lost 1-0.
Into the New Year and Everton started it with a home defeat 0-1 against Leicester.

Don’t want to paint a gloomy picture before our team visit Goodison Park, but our team have never won there in any competition. Lost all our games there so far in the Premier League and lost on their ground in the League Cup and FA Cup. But as they say there is always the first time for everything! Both sides who have not been in the best of form are equal on 27 points, with Everton 11th and AFCB 12th in the table.

The Cherries record in the Premier League at Goodison Park. 2015-16 lost 2-1. 2016-17 lost 6-3. 2017-18 lost 2-1.
In all competitions AFCB have Won 2, Drawn 2, Lost 7.

Everton Team News
It appears Everton have a clean bill of health going into this game.

Everton Player To Watch
Gylfi Sigurdsson, strong all round player, good at set-pieces and can score goals. The other player and their leading scorer and the player who was sent off at Dean Court in August, Richarlison. The Brazilian is Everton’s leading scorer with 9 goals and will be someone our defence will need to keep a tight hold of.

AFCB Team News
Josh King who was ill for the Brighton cup game is to have a late fitness test, also battling injuries to be available for Sunday are Ryan Fraser and Callum Wilson. Dan Gosling was another player who missed the cup game through injury.

AFCB Player To Watch
Nathaniel Clyne who probably will start after having a good home debut against Brighton, although not fully match fit. He will be returning for his first PL game for AFCB, to the blue side of Liverpool and Goodison Park to play Everton, where I expect he will get a ‘warm’ welcome. Be interesting to see how he performs. If fit, Callum Wilson, who has been subject to transfer speculation, will it be his last game for the Cherries?

Sorry, as a Hull FC fan I have to respectively correct you; it's the KCOM stadium, not the Hull City Stadium. We share the stadium with Hull City.
I'm sure you knew this already :)

I feel better now – thanks
 
Don't Everton tend to play 4-3-3?
If so, I'd expect Eddie to play 5 at the back, with Clyne and Rico as the wingbacks.
 
Never won there, all records have to break eventually. Maybe a bit early to get going properly, normally mid February, but we slumped earlier than normal this year so perhaps my solar power theory is slightly off so hopefully we won't have to wait until the daffs are almost out before we kick on again

No problem, found the info that referred to it as also the Hull City Stadium. Our ground is called the Vitality Stadium, but to the fans it is Dean Court and always has been.

The ground has had various names, but as mentioned above, to the fans it has always been Dean Court.
 
Spotted an Everton shirt in Co-op today....a scarcity in Cornwall, this Red-Infested little county( no not Bristol City fans - every Dork, his Dog, Cat and Ferret support one of the 3 you know who! ) .. No, this Sane Chappie has predicted a draw or 'anything can happen'. He said Evertonians just don't know what's going on this season....he was almost certain the Cherries will score at least once!
