Match Thread | Bournemouth vs. Man City (30/03/25)

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Players should pony up for the traveling City support if we lose this….disgraceful and disappointing in equal measure.

 

[TueartsCossackSpray]

Phil’s season saddens me. He doesn’t make massive blunders, he just doesn’t catch the eye anymore. Feels like he’s just turned the lights off and gone to bed.

And once again you could tell how things were going to be based on the lineup, slow, no creativity and getting overrun, yes Haaland should've had a hattrick but only one chance came from our play and that was Nunes putting a good cross in, the other chances were a lucky pen from a handball and a Bournemouth player playing it through for Haaland, so again we created next to fuck all with this slow rubbish, and once again the "whiners" on the pre match thread were right.

Bboooooooo
Shocking tactics & team selection.

They are there for the taking play the young players ffs pep

At least Kev & Foden off NOW

This starting 11 has created enough chances to score. Fuck all to do with selection and tactics if you don’t take them

 

[Blu1]

Peps fault all this, Berny, Foden, Nunes, Kova, Kev(or gundo) all off at HT, moush, doku, Jack, Nico and O'Rielly on

100%

 

[Axel Freed]

This is becoming embarrassingly comfortable for Bournemouth without three of their best players.I’m so annoyed that Pep hasn’t taken this competition seriously.

I’m so annoyed that you’re so daft

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

Haaland, Foden and Nunes absolutely fucking disgraceful.

Midfield is an absolute joke as well.

 

[IronsideKozuch]

We played well, its a tough ground and we ve been better. Even though few players underperform, mainly attacking one, we were more dangerous, Boro usually create more threat against even strongest teams.

Would love Foden, KDB, Bernardo, Haaland improve second half, because we need more from them.

Second half surely Omar and Doku on at some point

 

[Keeper!]

I think Pep wants out of this competition. There can be no other reason to pick that team.

Not out of the club?

 

[chaddblue]

Well that was as predictably shit as I expected

 

[red 2 hats]

This performance isn't gonna help shift thousands of seats against Leicester.

 

[daztrueblue91]

I feared the worst with the team selection but I don’t think we’ve been that bad. We’ve had the chances to be 3-0 up and Bournemouth haven’t created much. Pep cannot legislate for Haaland being as wasteful as he’s been.

That said, Pep and the club definitely can legislate for how shit Nunes is. He’s a central midfielder who clearly isn’t good enough to play central midfield for us. Why on earth Pep thinks he’s good enough to play RB for us is beyond me.

To make it clear, the shittest, worst possible version of Kyle Walker is still a huge upgrade on Nunes at RB.

 

[Jezza11]

Dog
Shit

 

[Gazza]

Peps fault all this, Berny, Foden, Nunes, Kova, Kev(or gundo) all off at HT, moush, doku, Jack, Nico and O'Rielly on

Ha ha ha sorry ha ha ha

 

[bondsman]

Keane spot on

 

[OrigamiNinja]

we aint controlling shit with Kova, Gundo, Bernardo, Foden, KDB there.

early on created few chances Haaland missed everything and then complete fuck all since that.

it will take one good counter or run from Bournemouth to score another which we wont be able to bring back.

only chance if Pep makes two subs and changes our control and speed.

sad thing is him and Lillo had two weeks to think about this game and this is what we see.

Control is the only thing at this point that any of that trio could potentially offer. If they can’t provide that (and they haven’t all season), they should be nowhere near the side. This team should be starting one of them at most. We have all three playing. It’s fucking awful.

 

[Combat Carl]

We haven't got a player who breaks the lines from defence and deep midfield positions. Rodri does solve a lot of the problems going forward but we need better fullbacks. Gvardiol, Nunes and Kovacic were very poor signings.

 

[HypnoticBlue]

Complete crap, Nunes, Gundogan, KDB, Foden off, Nico, Doku, Grealish, Marmoush on.
It’s a cup comp go for it, don’t spend another 35 minutes watching it go to ratshit Pep.

 

[OntarioBlue]

All on Haaland that as to why we're losing. Nunes at fault for their goal but we should be ahead.

Haaland could have scored three and could be leading. But, to be honest,if we were it would be an absolute travesty. We’ve been awful all over pitch and have been totally outplayed.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Clearly Pep picking that midfield made Haaland miss a penalty and two sitters...
