Bournemouth (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

Great display but still a few sloppy moments at the back.

We needed those goals in the bank. Bernardo & doku unplayable

Honestly the ball had barely hit the back of the net

A few years ago there was a bloke who continually just shouted “hoof it Yaya”

You would think our fanbase would have learned but there will always be some.

Team Grealish vs Team Doku now. They’re both City players with different skill sets entirely and each is suited to different opposition but it’s easier to say one is shit.

Great position to be in and different players. I was starting to feel a bit frail about our strength in some positions this season, but bizarrely for once, left wing does not seem to be one of them.
 
Played absolutely dire for first 25 mins and then got into it and smashed them. Doku outstanding.

Was in 242 for this one, but SS were class throughout the game. Was there for Brighton and 100% going back there in the future. Best seats in the house imo on all tiers.

An absolute canter. Seven minutes to win the game, then just play out the 90.

You don't win premier leagues by beating the likes of Bournemouth, but you do set down a marker to show what you have in the tank.

Don't see anyone getting near us this season, despite a couple of fairly early losses.

I personally don't see it being THAT easy, given our schedule this season. But we shall see

It’s pretty ominous. Played in second gear and still scored 6. If we’d needed to score 10 today we would have.
 
Great performance, love how patient we stay whilst trying to break teams down that have no real interest in attacking play. Some on here thought we were poor for the first 25mins which I totally disagree with. Everyone was ace with the exception of Nunes who doesn’t look that excited to be playing for the champions and shows in his football.
 
Doku will get all the applause but Silva was excellent and agile. Rodri was also quietly great. Kova played two really poor passes in the first 10 minutes then seemed to settle down a bit. Alvarez was probably the worst of the bunch and couldn't really get into the game.

Doku has great ability to beat a player from a standing start. He's not the kind of winger that needs lots of space to run into and he rarely gives the ball away.
 
We’ll be some team when we actually get into third gear
Poor attitude post the half time break, like v Brighton. But even a 10% increase in intensity killed the game
Enjoyed Bobb and Rico’s cameos. Still need Kovacic and Nunes to show a lot more than they have done so far
