Massive game tonight given the fixtures elsewhere. Have a real opportunity to create a buffer to teams below and also leapfrog the teams ahead of us.
{Ed025's Note - it wont be easy though BN, they are good side and even though they have lost a lot of good players they seem to get players in that are just as good..unlike our scouting team, im a big fan of Iraola and think he will get a move to a much bigger team even though thats a bit harsh on Bournemouth, im going for a 1-1 draw tonight mate with us starting slowly and conceding a sloppy goal, then second half coming out with more gusto and battering them but only scoring once unfortunately..

I agree ed 025 think iraola has done a brilliant job at Bournemouth if am honest think there recruitment over last few years been pretty impressive with likes of krupi Kluivert evanilson and also the departures of semenya kerkez and huijsen so everton as a scouting recruitment need to look at that and take note but on tonight's match I think we need to get at them from the off if am honest cause think Bournemouth are going to cause us few problems if we sit off an let them have the ball that being said am going to stick me neck out and say everton to win 2.1 KDH f.
g UTFT.
{Ed025's Note - i hope you are right Andy..

It is BN mate and to get to the magic 40 points, hope Tyrique starts 2-0 for us KDH and Jimmy to get the goals.

There new £30 million 19 year old winger looked quality at weekend Mykolenko is going to be up against it.
10 Feb 2026 16:18:50
We got £30 million strikers Ron mate.

It's going to be interesting to see what first eleven Moyes picks. Are we going to look forward with Branthwaite and O'Brien as center-backs and some of the youngsters playing or is he going to rely on the older favorites? I think that he will keep the older guys in defense and use George from the start.
{Ed025's Note - i think you maybe right Mike..
10 Feb 2026 17:38:35
I think you will see JB andOB Mike.
{Ed025's Note - hmmmmm..

Can we scout Bournemouth’s scouts so we n ow what a scout does? Maybe request some work experience for our scouts?
Maybe we don’t actually have any scouts… it could all be a elaborate ruse and it’s just been Moshiri or TFG playing football manager all this time - it would certainly explain our approach somewhat.

Our scouts have a camp outside Chelsea’s training ground apparently.

Will never happen I know, but would love to see some youngsters tonight. Bournemouth players all have good engines and really put in a shift.
Pickford, Patterson, O, Brian, Branthwaite, Aznou
Garner, Rohl, Kdh, Armstrong, Alcarez, George
Feel that Ndyiee and Gueye need a rest after Afcon to recharge.
Play George as Striker, can’t do any worse than Beavis and Butthead.
Subs can always be used second half. As I said will never happen, but would, nt it be nice to be more adventurous.

Far from it Ed. I am never confident watching us because we are so Jekyll and Hyde in what team shows up. I also don't ever feel confident that our striker will score us a goal. I am less confident when we are at home because it does not suit how Moyes sets us up. To add, Bournemouth have really picked up after their poor run.
Agree mate, they have plenty of dangerous players. I am a massive fan of Tavernier myself and think he would be a proper Everton player.
I am not going to pick a score Ed. I just hope that we drop Keane and bring Branthwaite in. Whether that is Jake at RB or Jake at CB with JB at LB. Has Keane had his best season for us this season, absolutely. Does that mean he should be starting ahead of JB, absolutely not. He cost us again at the weekend. Personally, I would love us to go with Jake and JB but I know Moyes won't drop Tarkowski.
Hopefully he also gives us some balance and plays young George on the wing after his decent cameo. If Armstrong is to play, have some bollocks, play him central and drop Gana.
10 Feb 2026 15:06:44
Us starting slowly? Why would you say that, Ed?
{Ed025's Note - i was wrong JB.. :)
