Okay, Bournemouth directly below is in the middle of the table. Yeah. Which, whatever, whatever. They're in 12th, we're in 11th, but mid-table battle. It's very much a mid-table battle, but always interesting games these. Always tight, but with goals. Q and 0-0. No, I don't think this is going to be a 0-0. I don't think, ah, the team we've got 0-0. We don't, Q and 0-0. Clean sheet, so there you go. Yeah, it is. Apart from the 6-3, which was the closest 6-3 ever. Oh, being 2. We are tight games. But with goals. Well, we've always had the goalie, yeah. But they're always quite tight. Last season, both teams won 2-1, and this season we had the 2-2, we should have won it really. Night and billions, looking at you. And then, obviously the season before, we'd lost the early 1-0 down at their place, and then we beat them 6-3 at home. So, you know, need the team. Need the team. Yeah. Need the teams, man, I'd stay in the way, but we couldn't do it this year. We didn't have to go. Yeah. Throw that in there, just get it. People will. In the Premier League. Yeah. Premier League had to have one of 1-3, one of 1-2, and there's been two draws. There's seven games they've won. So, even that record tells you how tight it's been. Good side, though. Nice football and so on. Well, you know, a lot of people sort of championed anyhow for the Everton job. Pesa, I always thought it was too early in terms of experience. And I know there's not much between Michael Silver in terms of, I suppose, age and Premier League experience. So, that Michael Silver has had a little bit more, weirdly, experience, I'd say. You know, Portugal and Greece and two teams in the Premier League. But I think the philosophies are very much the same. Play the same way all the time, no matter what. No matter what the score is, no matter. And I think that's the thing with Bournemouth, isn't it? It's very hard to put your finger on what they're going to be like, because if they play the best, they can be a really good side. But when they're at the worst, they're a little bit like us. They're so open. And they try to be attacking that if you catch them on the right day, you've got the potential to score goals. Well, a pair of us were on the end of the Tottenham Hammering over Christmas, where maybe we had a 6-2, and they had a 5-0, within a couple of days of each other. And I suppose that's Bournemouth like that. Liverpool have done them 4-0 again. They've done them 4-0 last couple of years at their own place. But they're capable of going and beating teams, because they have to be playing nice football. They've got a good side, not many stars. But they have got them playing in a way that they all understand and they're all good at it. And if anything, that shows you what stability can bring you with an ethos of where you're playing, and a bit of stability. Okay, the pressure, you know, would he get that time at a top 6 club, even at Everton, with the way they've bobbed their hand? I don't know. But he's done brilliantly. This is a team that have come up from, you know, come through the leagues and established now in the Premier League. When people talk about teams, they don't relegate it. Bournemouth are one who you think, you always think they'll be alright, regardless, you know, even if it was 14, 15, which I think they're a better side than that anyway. So he's done a really good job. He's got some good players. And in terms of Premier League experience, he's got more, obviously, it's been four years in the Premier League, but like you say, Marco Silva has had success in Portugal, you know, and has gone up to Greece and won the league there and stuff, and then he's had he's gone to a state Premier League club. So he's probably more, more worldly, like you say, but he's a good coach. Yeah, it's, I think something you just said, there's interesting, it is that idea of, because there isn't any pressure of Bournemouth, to just, you can, he can just get home with his job. I suppose, I think I see a lot of similarities in terms of the job he's doing with, when Moise was at Everton. The expectation, I think when Moise was in charge, because there was no money, it wasn't massive. It was, let him get on with it and create an expectation. I think that's what Moise done, and I think that's what he started to above. He started to create that expectation now. And it's not an unrealist expectation. It's just that fans go and think, well, we're going to be entertained today and they expect that. So, but I think the fans are still, well, I think they're very, very happy with it. Why wouldn't they be? You know what I mean? Okay, some weeks it's good, some weeks it's bad. You know, I think the last league game they had, you know, was the 3-3 with Wofford at home, which was a complete mad game, six goals in the first half. They expect that. Also, he's allowed to build. Maybe the fact that the extra pressure, doesn't it, might see them never quite get to where they want to go. I mean, I'm not saying top six, I just mean maybe stability around $7-8 all the time, but you never know. I just know that whoever comes in after him, the job's going to be really, really big for them, because he's going to leave a big seat to fill. But I just think that difference with Everton is quite interesting. Like, I'm not saying they don't want expectation at Everton. You just always wonder whether, if you took that expectation away, which way would it go? You know, would the manager be able to just get on with things and be fine? Or with that lack of expectation, suddenly people would rest on the laurels at Everton, which is what we've seen in the past, where you go. Well, there's no expectation, so we don't have to buy this player or do this or get a new glance. Do you feel like there's been no expectation up? I don't. Do you feel like there's been mad expectation for it? Not when Mudge was in charge. I don't think there was. I think the expectation, because he delivered, I don't think anyone ever said, when we were finishing like fifth and sixth, I don't think anyone was going, and it might be just a difference in the time we live in, but I don't think anyone was saying, we should be finishing fourth. Why aren't we finishing fourth? People used to say, we're one striker away, and we're very happy with, you know, Bill Kern writing stuff because of that. But I don't think that expectation, I think that's just, that was just anger in that, look what this manager is striving to do, and you're putting box up in front of now, whether that was real or not. I don't think that expectation, I think that's just perceiving where we could have been, whereas I think now it's a little bit different because the money's there. It's like, why aren't we doing that? Why are we struggling? The owner said to himself this week, he's not happy with 11th place, and he's saying, I'm giving you all you need to get us towards that top six. Why aren't we getting this? Well, the manager said, if the owner's saying it, then I suppose he's expecting it, so everyone else should expect it. Yeah, I think, you know, I've always felt the expectation of 11th because of growing up with what I saw and where and then talking to people across, you know, when I'm just in the ticker office and stuff, and people are going, you know, wherever, and we should be winning leagues and we should be winning. So I think there's always been that kind of the expectation, I'm not saying people expect us to win the league, but with Moise, maybe it wasn't as the way it was now because we were fifth and sixth, if everyone would have been 10th and 11th, he wouldn't have survived because the people wouldn't have had it. There would have been an uproar with him because he over-delivered really with the tools he had. Well, he was a very good coach, whether people be writing or don't, he was a very good coach and he was allowed, but again, the stability, he was allowed that by Bill Kennaith, knowing what a good job he was doing and realising he didn't really have much money to give him. So then, because he was allowed that time, he created a team that was always able and obviously, Man City money wasn't there and Tottenham were in as strong as they are now. So after the Skype Four, it was easier for Everton to bob an army. But Moise had a bit of a run like us, you know, we've only had one win, you know, for one win and eight, isn't it? It was about a month of shame, I think, of one win and seven. I think they lost last week in the Cup as well. They need to fly one around. I think this is a really important game for us. We really have to come into this one flying. You know, we'll have eight days to recover. The manager will have taken all that information he's laying into in the last few weeks and hopefully put that into the team. And I think we really have to come out and be out the box because they will be. They've got a couple of new players in their squad as well, Slanky and Klein. I mean, you can't really, you know, we've seen this before. You know, Danny Ings springs to mind. So I think we've got to really be at it on Sunday because I think if we can pick up a... This is a team, I mean, if they were to beat us, they go above us and suddenly that's again another place. You know, if Brighton do their job on Saturday, they could go above us as well. So we've got to start looking at the... Because, you know, we've got this game and then we've got Southampton and then we'll have the trip to Millwall, which is looking like it's a R5 Saturday game, apparently. It's on the Saturday. I don't know, it's R12 or R5. Then we've got Huddersfield on the Tuesday. So we've got games there. We should be winning. And if we win, you know, the way that middle is at the moment, I mean, I keep looking and thinking back to the Leicester game. If we'd beaten Leicester that day, we'd be seventh right now. And I think if we were seventh in the fourth round in the FA Cup, people would be thinking about things very, very differently. I think the people would be looking at United and going, well, they go to Spairs next week and if they have a bump, we win. You know what I mean? So it can change very quickly. And that's why we've got to start picking up results, not one, two, three, back to back. You know, you look at Wolves, that's what they did over the Christmas period. They did it in September and October. Or October, November. We won three games on the run and all of a sudden it was like this. You can get in the top six here from nowhere because we got those wins. You know, if we were to lose again on Sunday, that'd be 300 feet on the run. You know, that's what people are forgetting. I think, and we've said this before, not our expectation, but our hope this season. And maybe for the next couple of seasons is get seventh, hope that, and you look at, you know, the way the other teams are doing, hope that one of the top six wins, you know, if we don't win the FA Cup, one of the other top six wins it, you know, and wins and looks like the League Cup is going to be won by one of the top six as well. So that's, you know, it's going to push you down to seventh place. And be one of the top six on the FA Cup anymore. So it's a five, so we've got five to look for. So let's hope that, you know, and that's what for me, I look at six now and I just think, well, that's, that's not, that's not to worry about that gap is getting bigger and bigger and bigger. It's seventh place and, you know, you look at, you look at, you look at the likes of walls who look good against top six teams, but then against everyone else, look a little bit ropey. You know, you look at, you look at Leicester, we played them in the years dead and didn't do anything special. You know, they won a couple of tough games and then lose a couple of, again, mad. West Ham. West Ham, you know, hot and cold. The hot and cold score goals and then, you know, getting beat by, they're like some, like some, Three were brightening their own there. Tunel down. And beat by Bailey. So I look at all those teams. And they've got Arsenal this weekend and Arsenal need to. I look at, so I look at Bailey as well. I look at Bumph as well. I think you're, you're, you are like us. You, you, you've, they're all, everyone, everyone between seventh and third, fourteenth at the moment. They're just struggling for that consistency because it's the, and that's probably comes down to the squad more than anything, not having that consistency of squad. So you can go out there every weekend and maybe make a couple of changes. But I think we've got to, we've got, you know, this at the time now, especially in this run of games where we've got to be picking up wins, getting the confidence and, you know, we pick up a couple of wins back to back. Soon everyone will be like, yeah, looking upwards, looking at that seventh place, head of the fourth round of the FA Cup in. It's a different world then, isn't it? It is, it is. And it gives the manager that breathing space to just do his job. I just think, like, this is a real big test for us on Sunday because they are a good side. They've had the rest the same as us. They've got players that can hit you. There's a, there's a big concern over Ryan Fraser for them. He's a very good player. He's, in fact, he's had nine assists this season so far. Is he not the biggest link between two plays, him and Callum Wilson, is it? I think it's Callum Wilson. So he's up there in the top of six. In fact, I think he's the top assist in the Premier League. So if he doesn't make it for them, that's a big miss for them because, you know, he always cuts all of us apart. That's born with last Christmas. So that's a big one for them, you know, and hopefully we've just got to get back to winning ways. As good a side as these are, they let you play football. They're two very similar sides. So this is a team, you know, without being disrespectful to them and they'd say the same place this is a game we've got up in. The round us, they're our rivals. So we've got to beat, we have to beat the teams round. For me, I think this will be a game where it's whoever takes the chances and that's what we've got to start doing, becoming clinical. Yeah. You know, if you only get two or three chances a game, you've got to be at the target with all three of them or two of them, whatever, because we're just not clinical enough. And I think that could be the difference in a game like that is that they've got someone, they've got a couple of decent strikers up front who've got good move and make good runs and tend to hit the target a lot and we don't seem to do that. So that's, again, something we've got to do. Well, it's madness though. You know, Callan Wilson obviously the quote, people are quoting 50 million and he's, you know, hopefully then conversations continue over the next couple of days and he's unsettled. But I had a look at his head-to-head with Retialison this morning and Retialison's better than everybody. They've both got nine goals. Yeah. The only, Callan Wilson's got assists, more assists. I think he's got four or five assists, actually. Retialison's got one, but for everybody else, Retialison's better than everybody else. Pass and shooting accuracy, runs, Rambo, one headers, one target. So when people are quoting 50 million, say, you've got Callan Wilson, we've got our own. Ladi's got nine goals and 20 games and he's got better numbers. Callan Wilson room, the transfer market. I don't know. Okay. Possibly. But, you know, he's done well. Callan Wilson obviously had to come back with a couple of terrible injuries to establish himself in the Premier League. It's a good strike and he's one you've got a look out for. Slanky, obviously because of the link, he's one you've got to look out for. Joshua King, you're what I really like. He's another one you've got. So they've got dangerous players, but evidently they've got very dangerous players. What do we do? It's great. It'd be great to sit here and go, oh, they're only boomer from where Everton and we should be going on to beat them, but we're too long in the tooth to say that about anybody because we know that's not how football works and say, you know how Everton works. You know, our inconsistency is... Our consistency. That's it. That's what would really go. That being inconsistent. So, you know, therefore, Q5 and Everton win and that brilliant performance because you just don't know what you're going to get, you know, and therefore, they're very, very similar. So it should be a good open game. I expect it to be the goals and like you said, and hopefully we're the ones... We've got to start finding that consistency, the only... Do you know, even like at a base level, we've got to find a consistency in our play because from a season defining... This to me is a season defining game and that people might look and go. But it is really because we've got both with their own, Wolves with their own. And then the next five after that are all teams in the top six, the next five home games, and then we finish with Burnley. So if we were to not win this one and then Wolves, then we're going to have to start winning away games otherwise we are going to finish where we are or lower, which is totally unacceptable for the outlay we've made. So it's about building good of some part, back up again and making it so people go, there is a tough place to come here. The last two games, less there. Listen, it was a flip of a coin. It was a bad performance by both teams. Fadi took the one chance, we blew our chances. Spares, they were brilliant and we were naive. But everything in general at home have been very good. You know, the West, up until Tottenham, we lost one game, we're getting about 15 or so. That was West Hampton. So we've been a bit soft the last couple of home games. So we have to get back and it starts on Sunday. We've got to win the game. And if we win the game, 30 points on Sunday night, you start looking up then and going, right, you know, what can we do? We go to Southampton next in the bottom three. We should be beating them. It's a tough game, but we should be beating them. Huddersfield at the bottom, we should be beating them. If everything could win those next three, you're right, you know, we've got 36 points next minute. You'd be going, what are you united on 41 or something and not far away from them. But what we've done is we've put a gap between 10th and us now. And that gives us safety and effort for when you do play those bigger sides at home on cities and stuff like so. Just going to start picking up the wins haven't we, get that? Yeah, you know, it's as simple as that. Just got to get back to winning ways. For me now, we've got to start, we've got a little bit of a situation. We've got to start playing. The players have got to step up to the mark. Now we start putting in eights. Instead of being six and a half or whatever, we've got to start having a few weeks where you come, where we're sitting here and going, what a performance that was. Everyone's on it there. And we haven't had too many of them days yet, really, where we've been able to sit here and go, you know what, everyone is on that. Don't get me wrong, we've had some good performances, but we haven't had any consistent performances where we could, you know, two of our final words on the run wouldn't be the same because we've been a little bit hitting this, but the thing is we're resting this little slide because we've lost as many in the last month than we did in the first four months. I think what we've got to do is, just finally is, we've got to start just like chaining out, chaining out victories, you know, not standard soon. Yeah, yeah. That's what we've got to start doing. Goal in the first half, goal in the second half, get the game done. I know it's from clean sheets. Yeah, I know that's easier said than done, but that's what any team that wants to finish in the top six, seven, whatever, you know, strive for is just, you turn up and you beat the team, you get the measure of them, you get the first goal and then you go out and try and get the second goal. Whereas we've fought them many times, they've got the first goal and then just gone, yeah, okay, watch it. What do we do now and let teams back in the game? What would we be saying if there was a club like us spending the money and where we are, we'd be going, they should be much higher with the resources they've got and some of the players they've got, but they're a shot. And we are a shop centre at the moment. We've got to get back to defending clean sheets and then like you say, just winning the game. So it's going to be a tough one now and clean sheets will be lovely, but I won't hang me out. Not at all. Yeah, let us know your thoughts in the comments. Are you confident of beating Bournemouth, getting back to winning ways and hopefully hitting a bit of a run and a bit of form in the next few weeks and months? Let us know your thoughts.
