David Moyes accepted the decision to send off Jake O’Brien after the Irish international collided into Amine Adli.
O’Brien was guilty of bringing down Adli after the forward was through on goal and saw a straight red card for hindering a clear goal-scoring opportunity. The 24-year-old was sent off shortly after Bournemouth scored two quick goals to complete a 2-1 turnaround.
“I’ve not got a view,” David Moyes told BBC Match of the Day when asked about O’Brien’s red card.
“The referee has made his decision and he has chosen to give him a red card. We probably put more pressure on with 10 men than we did with 11. It’s the referee’s decision, he makes them.”
Despite taking the lead from the penalty spot, Everton were guilty of squandering chances. They were duly punished for their recklessness as the Cherries came back from a goal down to complete the turnaround in the second half.
The loss extended Everton’s winless streak at home and they haven’t won at Hill Dickinson Stadium since December 6. Asked whether he was disappointed with the result, the Everton boss said, “No, the players here are doing fantastically well but we are disappointed because it is a game that we could have won and we didn’t. We had a couple of opportunities to make it 2-0 or 3-0 at one point and we didn’t take them so you get punished when you don’t do that.”

It’s like some switch gets hit and they just crumble very very quickly. It’s happening often this season but in games last season it happened too, especially in the first half of the season under Dyche.

It was gross mis-management giving Coleman another 1-year contract — he is no good to our club. He played 3 games last season, 7 the season before.
With Patterson always injured Moyes put himself behind the black ball. Every Everton fan knows O’Brien is not a right-back… but Moyes ignores the fans.
Please go away from our club, Moyes, and take that free loader Coleman with you.

I can only think that his unfamiliarity with the right-back role caused that lapse.

Eric, Spuds fans are amongst the most entitled egregious fans in football, globally. Its hardly a reason not to think he wouldnt do a good job. Mind you, Benham and his scouting network made his job much easier at Brentford. I cant take another season of dithery Daves KITAP1 when were actually far better than that. Hes done a decent job, absolutely but its time to move this football club forward. For fucking once
