City v Bournemouth post match

[KentBlue]

Were there rags on the match day thread? There seemed a lot of negativity on there for genuine Blues.

Ball retention is still periodic across the course of a game. We just need someone who has the energy of Fernandinho but the passing paddles of Toure.

I agree, think there are some concerns in that area, Fernandihno has been subpar so far.

Bournemouth were unfortunate not to get anything from the game, but they were slow to get back into shape when we took two quick free-kicks.

The referee will be scrutinised for the Sterling sending off, but I'm just glad that the officials added sufficient injury time that enabled us to score. Rather odd how many players go down and call for the trainer at key points in the game.

They added after Pep complained vehemently.

Great game but it's time for Pep to speak up about the piss poor refereeing.

Mendy likes it

this guy mendy is going to be a star

Funny thing the game was played at Dean Court ...ref really was the king of the show today and Raheem was treated like a jester

Eddie Howe was just praising his players for 'slowing the game down', which is a euphemism for killing it at every opportunity, so losing a goal in the 97th minute might make him think again.

Curate's egg of a performance. Still plenty of improvement to come. Lots of positives but it's not completely clicking just yet.

Good to see vinny get through another game unscathed but he does seem down on pace

How fast do you think a team can play against 10 men inside 20 yards in two banks of five? Honestly.

Spot on, we've got some right fannies supporting us

Dean is a Joke..

Gabriel Jesus was great on the ball today and a great goal..
I think was a great day absent of that red card, we were barking on the door all day, Eventually we broke through, Converting chances will come.
