Tiring Blues well beaten after some embarrassing lapses

Patterson OBrien Myklenko - no other centre half in squad

Keane, Coleman - injured ??

Hopefully that means Harrison is definitely not coming back...

Perhaps we have retired the No 9 shirt as it was such a poison chalice for the last incumbent... or does this confirm (as rumoured) he is coming back because we are so short of players!!!

Surely it's the No 9 skirt we've retired?

Seems Beto has nabbed the No 9 shirt, so panic over!

Cant say I am surprised.

Shown as an Everton sub???

Maybe it's like kids “soccer” and they even the teams if some kids don't show up?

But good to see how frustrated David Moyes was getting with how they were playing. At least he seems to be taking the job seriously.

Alfred Molina... that's gonna stick like an earworm, thanks, Kieran.

The turf is dry grass – slow and bouncy. We could win this one.

That's 'hilarious'!! But I didn't realise we had some 10 year olds contributing to ToffeeWeb!

i'm thirteen

Why do Moyes's teams (like Dyche's) always come out of pre-season half-baked and find form only after Christmas?

Simple answer is the pre-season preparation, with fear of modern methods at its foundation.

Dyche loves to roll out his ‘Gaffers Day' stories on a regular basis. Whilst at the same time failing to point out that his management record in August is absolutely atrocious throughout the entirety of his career.

I can recall many Moyes seasons at Everton where we started well and I know for a fact that a couple of weeks prior to playing Villarreal in a potentially history altering Champions League qualifier – that the whole squad was running for an entire day around Woolton Woods in what can only be described as a 4-hour cross country 1970s PE lesson.

That was 20 years ago and hopefully Moyes has moved on since then.

Get real, people. Everton are embarrassing.

Second half extremely discouraging.

Everton that.

He does nothing game-altering with the ball. It looks good, fancy, lively, tricky... but produces nothing.

And Alcaraz was also very disappointing.

We need to sign real quality who will make a difference, we need pace and wingers who can cross a ball - otherwise it's going to be another tough watch.
Three pre season games, no wins ( not counting the port vale behind closed doors ) game.

What else did anyone realistically expect, though, when you look at the squad Everton, have taken all the way to America?

I watched a championship team play a team from league two today, and can honestly say that the gulf in class between the two teams tonight, was a lot wider than it was earlier today.

Have no fear it’s only pre-season, but whatever excitement we had hoped to generate by moving into a new stadium, already has a real chance of disappearing before it’s even began.

Hopefully things improve over the next few weeks. I’m sure they will, but if they don’t, how many of us have got the stomach for another season of struggling?

Better team in the first half and 2 individual mistakes cost us in the second half. It was a make shift team. Can't be doing with people panicking, have some perspective.

Ndiaye entertains with his dribbling but can’t cross or pass the ball. But that’s what you get for £17m. A player with limitations.

Thought Tim was hardly in the game and Ndiaye can play a lot better than he did tonight.

Doubt if we can expect the team to shine at the moment with the squad we have so the next two games look likely to produce the two more defeats let’s hope the performances are better than the second half one tonight.

Will we even score a goal!?

At first I thought it a surprise when I saw 3 at the back, but then it made sense, with Tarkowski presumably not ready and Keane out. Little choices for the manager.

Decent first half, with high energy pressing to get possession back and we were the better team. The usual direct forward running from Alcaraz, who had a good effort saved and put Beto in, but the keeper was again alert.

Similarly, Ndiaye had a few good moments with his trickery and jinking.

Then we seemed to leave that all in the changing room at half time and out came an Everton team with the energy and pressing gone as Bournemouth grew into and took over the game, making space as we increasingly backed off them.

Not a lot to pick out of the first goal. The player makes a yard and then hits a sweet strike.

Patterson gets to the ball, but his touch lays it on for the forward, who didn't need a second invite for the second.

And then a moment O'Brien will want to forget. He seemed unaware of the Bournemouth player in close proximity and then under hits the back pass.

I don't think we really had too much opportunity to judge the substitutes. Barry will need more minutes, Harrison

Ultimately, half a performance, poor result. Next.

The squad is like the Dirty Dozen, but near the end of the film when most have been shot.

Play one, hopefully two, very good footballers alongside him, and he will also become a very good footballer.

I'd probably go with Dave Abrahams on Ndiaye. I thought he also did well, first half, but we've seen him play better. But he's one of our best players.

I know the formation was forced on the manager, but I thought James Garner looked uneasy in the wing back role.

Also, on the forced makeshift back 3, I thought Mykolenko coped okay, but Patterson looked uncomfortable.

I don't want to get carried away, and keep some perspective, but I feel he's running out of time at Everton.

**I didn't finish above. Harrison Armstrong didn't get on the ball enough, not his fault and Ony Ango wasn't involved enough in the short time he was on the pitch.

Moyes not to blame he has already said he needs 10 outfield players..

Yes, hit by lack of options and numbers tonight.

Trying to watch this United v West Ham match, but don't think I'll last too long.

Without those, we were shown up for what we currently are, a mediocre to poor EPL team.

If I stretched to find positives, there were a few in the first half. Beto actually looked good for a time, not just 'a handful', there was a threat from him, Charly and Ndiaye and I thought Tim looked promising. Then the second half, they all disappeared and the weaknesses became all too apparent. Tough times ahead

When we are on top we don't score and opponents seem more capable of taking advantage when they have a spell. It's all a bit Moneyball but it's just fact. There's a change needed that shifts that statistic.

Idrissa playing 90 (I think he did?) is crazy stuff. All last season we had this same issue where we ask a lot of our midfielders but can't change them... there desperately needs to be an answer to that.

Patterson and O'Brien both made terrible errors. But let's be honest, Patterson really didn't need that. There are some legitimate concerns about him, and there are some pretty lazy opinions about him. Well he just confirmed both so no need to differentiate now.

I don't really know what the positives are. It's only pre season so I'm not worried about the result at all. It just would have been nice to have some kind of positive.

Imo it is an absolute disgrace to send a squad like that to promote the club in a prestigious tournament.

There are no excuses. We have known for months we had the weakest squad in the premiership after letting so many senior players go.

We supposedly recruited the cream of the football world as a recruitment committee. Well you just failed your first big test and confirmed to the American market what a third rate club we have become.

Take note Angus the natives are restless.
