That Kova’s run there was sublime but expected Haaland to be running ahead of him. Only just realised he was in the midfield.

 

[TrentGrisham]

Poor ball from Bernardo.

 

[super_city_si]

Foul throw that

 

[Tricky_Trev]

The final third has become our worst third. Bournemouth shouldn’t still be in the game but they are.

 

[heslops barnet]

Foul throw that

Only we do….

 

[striver]

bernardo kinda poor with the final pass fors ure

 

[69FACUPfinal]

Need a goal here

Yes because otherwise we know the script.

 

[Josh_D]

Thought that when he made that excellent interception in the box just before we scored. It made me feel a bit uncomfortable seeing his leg awkwardly outstretched like that.

Not the only one but always happy when he’s playing

 

[paulsimpson]

need a second goal

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Nunes...chump...a minute before half time and tries something stupid in our half

The final third has become our worst third. Bournemouth shouldn’t still be in the game but they are.

Every game this season bar a few. Should be way out in front with the level of dominance on show.

 

[RobinHood]

Happy with that first half. Stay disciplined, more goals to follow. And a clean sheet hopefully.

 

[heslops barnet]

Yes because otherwise we know the script.

1/3?

 

[ThreesKompany]

Game is screaming for De Bruyne.

 

[MCFC1993]

Good first half, just need that 2nd goal.

Fair play to Bournemouth though, they play out from the back quite nicely.

 

[WickyWain]

Is John Stones playing the false 10 position?

Yes




And false 9, false 8, false 7...

 

[HolisticJim]

I really don't think we play to Haalands strengths.

He's up there, walking about, clearly told not to move and we don't put crosses is or play quick balls into his feet for him to run on to. He's constantly feeding off scraps despite the dominant possession.

I was watching the Overlap podcast this week and Rooney was on it and talking g about that's how Fergue wanted him to play but he got bored and so drifted further in field.

Considering we're not helping Haaland, I hope he doesn't get bored and move on to actually play football.

 

[I'm Blue]

Happy with that.
Playing well.
Just need another goal or 3

 

[super_city_si]

Good half. Bournemouth should tire. But we need to start scoring.

 

[69FACUPfinal]

1/3?

That's usually Dips after going 1 zero down.
