I'm now far more invested in Everton - City than I would have been otherwise! Richarlison is a horrible cheating player, can't stand him, rolling around at every opportunity. Foden is way too good, I'm very happy he's English.

Good performance, very happy for Redmond to get the goals and the assist, hopefully that will boost his confidence for the next few games. Adams scored a great goal too, VAR or no that should give him encouragement too. But how shite were Bournemouth?! Not paid too much attention to them this year but haven't they been in the argument for automatic promotion most of the season, never mind playoffs? I know they've had some injuries but surely they should be doing better than that against one of the worst defences in the PL.

Time to make some subs Ralph! We've got 20 mins left and some kids to blood, and important players to protect. Bournemouth already used 3.

Billing is a bit of an over rated player.

They've taken a midfielder off for Surridge, we're now dominating the midfield, more chances coming for us - and probably them.

GTFI Redders! Bournemouth their own worst enemies. And the fishy few losing too!

Go on, rule that one out too.

I'm a big fan of VAR normally but we have had some crazy decisions against us this season. Bournemouth going 4-4-2.

You can't rule that out for offside... What am I talking about, of course they can.

Boom! Great shot Adams.

Wake up please Saints...

Confidence player, great assist, great goal, shame it's half time already!

Christ, the lad's just played a pinpoint ball for the goal and people are still jumping on his back.

MOUSSA! First time in ages we've had some space in the middle. Front three did excellently, Bournemouth's defending was awful.

Gotta be making more of our corners, we've had two and they've both been wasted.

Bizarre seeing Diallo trying to shoot from 25 yards, he's tried twice now already. Hope he's been practicing.

Need to keep Danjuma quiet and a few clatters in on Wheelchair and we'll cruise through this. COYS.

Not sure Ralph has much choice with Ings and Obafemi injured and Minamino is cup tied. The only other options are Tella, who I thought was very poor against Brighton, and N'Lundulu, who hasn't really done anything of note to deserve starting an important game. Redmond can still have his moments, we'll just have to hope he can take one or two of them today.

Line up as many expected, Forster gets the nod over McCarthy. Jankewitz back on the bench.

If we're genuinely concerned about Dominic Solanke being "in good form" then we deserve to lose and get relegated!

Won't be enough to save their season, still gives them hope for next season... perfect.

Back to Ralph basics, lots of high pressing and not letting them have time on the ball at the back, the pressing system is a lot less common in the Championship so they should be less practiced at playing around it. Got a mate living with me who is a Bournemouth fan, I keep having to tell him "it's not a derby" but I'd feel much happier if we smash them anyway.

Not even a little bit. Though a lot of the Blue Few seem to think it will be a tight call between Howe and Wilder 😂

Lmao I love that their players keep rolling around on the floor and the commentators and refs just ignore them.

Not sure McCarthy saves that one! Great save/awful finish.
