Bournemouth (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

[ProofMCFC]

Performances aren’t improving are they. Still 3 points though, Nunes and Doku don’t think are good enough for City, hopefully I’m wrong.

 

[why me? Blue Manchester]

Tough game that, we dug in well
Greatl 3 pts
Foden and stones superb

 

[BringBackSwales]

Thought the ref was fair for once.

He reffed a home game recently and was good to. Get some more refs from Aus I say

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

3 points

No injuries

Happy days

 

[Stelea]

What has happened to Ake!
Got run ragged and not for the 1st time this season.
Looks like he is running in custard all the time

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Thought we were much more direct than normal, and didn't control the game like we normally do?

Also thought taking Kovacic off at that late stage was a strange decision, but we hung on.

 

[bluemoon32]

One nil to the Arsenal City

A win is a win but the proverbial game of 2 halves. Bournemouth deserved at least a point but our intensity and control evaporated second half. On to the next!

 

[cupsforcockups]

Got what we wanted but we looked poor 2 nd half.Nunez pathetic ,Bernardo not much better and for the life of it why doku on in front of grealish

 

[mackenzie]

That’s the spirit!

Bournemouth played well and at times in that second half could easily have scored.

 

[heslops barnet]

Winning by one goal is ok but we need to bolster our goal difference.

Hopefully doesn’t come into play at the end of the season

 

[jonah62]

Doku, luxury sub when 3 up

 

[hilts]

Very happy with the 3 points but that 2nd half was like watching Everton vs Crystal.Palace.

 

[jrb]

The Scousers in London for the Carabao Cup final watching that must be gutted. :-)

 

[Legal Alien]

Goals have completely dried up. Can’t rely on scoring 1 every week.

We're creating chances though, we just need to take them.

We're going to batter someone soon though.

 

[alexmcity]

Important win. Hopefully no injuries. Foden was our best player. Stones was excellent, too.

We aren't fresh in the moment. The games vs Chelsea and Brentford were physically tiring. Bournemouth played with a lot of energy in the 2nd half and made it difficult.

Can see Pep making many changes vs Luton. The league is more important. If the result is not good, we can sub in the big guns. We can't win the big trophies without rotation.

 

[Revolver]

Most top teams during a transition season drop off and totally fail to challenge for the league. (That’s you Liverpool and Arsenal)

We are blessed with a manager and squad who I think are tired and have injuries but are still working their socks off.

I think he’s been fantastic, especially when he spends most of the time playing behind someone who won’t track back.

 

[applecentral]

Probably the best I've ever seen us play. Up there with the semi against Madrid last year

Somebody is fishing. Reel em in!

Goals have completely dried up. Can’t rely on scoring 1 every week.

3 goals from 70 or so attempts.
