Bournemouth started the New Year in style on Saturday against a terrible Toffees. A number of Cherries fans were expecting the Cherries to steamroll Sean Dyche’s side, but true to form, Everton were purposeful and pragmatic. With 11 men in blue behind the ball and seemingly little drive to go and win the game, it was always going to be a scrappy affair, with something special required to win the points, but thanks to a delightful David Books volley, three points eventually came to fruition for Andoni Iraola’s men, who remain seventh in the Premier League.

Sam and Tom are at the QP to discuss the weekend's game where we question Everton's immediate future. Does their current plight mirror the situation at Dean Court a couple of years ago? Fresh from a new takeover, they have a playing style that isn’t to the liking of the majority of the fanbase, and a manager that perhaps doesn’t fit the bill - is it just a case of getting through the season before an overhaul in the summer?

Visit the QP at 482 Holdenhurst Rd, Bournemouth, BH8 9AR. Check out their Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/queensparkpub - or give them a call on 01202 301747 or 07876213400.
