Everton’s pre-match tweet backfires as fans send in their photos of Bournemouth’s comeback win

Everton’s pre-match tweet backfires as fans decided to send in their photos of Bournemouth’s comeback win at the weekend.

At 2:36pm on Saturday, Everton asked fans to share their 2024/25 matchday photos and videos for the chance to feature on club channels. You can see this towards the bottom of this article… (keep scrolling!)

They want fans to help ‘tell the story of our final season at Goodison Park’, but it seems it’s not going as well as hoped.

Everton looked to be on course for a win against Bournemouth, going 2-0 up thanks to goals from Michael Keane (50′) and Dominic Calvert-Lewin (57′).

But the Toffees threw away the two goal lead from the 87th minute, Bournemouth completing a remarkable comeback in the closing stages with Antoine Semenyo (87′), Lewis Cook (90+2′) and Luis Sinisterra (90+6′) getting on the scoresheet, sending the away end wild.

So as you can imagine, Everton and Bournemouth fans went back to Everton’s earlier tweet…

Mike Richards, Fan writer, said via BBC Sport

“As Evertonians, we thought we had seen it all in recent years. Points deductions, on-field disasters and off-field destruction. Strangely, nothing prepared us for the nine minute meltdown we witnessed on Saturday afternoon.

“The capitulation at the hands of Bournemouth just about summed up our recent history. The glimmer of hope instilled within us after a glorious first 85 minutes in the golden Goodison Park sun, evaporated as quickly as we could all mutter the fabled phrase –“Dyche Fit”.

“The majority of the fan base have been clear in where they feel the blame lies.

“From the stands, we could all see how both the heat and the intensity of the game had impacted certain players. Combined with Bournemouth making five substitutions prior to Sean Dyche taking off the impressive Iliman Ndiaye, it was a recipe for disaster.

“The players aren’t totally blameless either. When you’re looking for leadership and game management, responsibility was shirked and discipline lost.

“The international break should allow the manager and players to have some self-reflection. You win as a team and you lose as one.

“The season is in its infancy and it’s imperative the dying embers of this game don’t fester and dictate the outcome of matches immediately after the international break.

“The work done in the transfer window was solid and arguably better than many hoped for.

“With Branthwaite, Chermiti, Patterson, Broja and Mangala to add to the squad, there is still plenty to remain positive about and we must.

“Sometimes international breaks can be seen as an inconvenience and momentum killer. For us, it’s an ideal opportunity to press reset and look forward, not back.”
