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

[Feed the Elk]

State of Kev’s hair then fucking hell lol

His game went downhill when he let his fashion sense get the better of his barber

 

[Goatmeal]

Kush to RB . Gonzalez to cb

 

[Don Karleone]

 

[sir baconface]

Playing like Rachel from Accounts has cut off their PIPS.

 

[Dax777]

We're missing seven judging by the performance. - Two full backs, four midfielders and a striker.

Nah, we are missing no one. The manager has just picked who he picked

 

[youngbob]

Diabolical from Nunes for the goal.

The midfield is about 3 yards to slow.

We’ve got to fuck this “control” concept off as the midfield is past doing it.

Get Marmoush and Doku on and go direct.

Our best moments have come from just getting it forward and picking up the loose ball. But we keep insisting on watching Kovacic, Gundogan, and Bernardo doing two third of a triangle before Bournemouth nick it.

 

[Gumzy97]

My expectations were low when I saw the starting XI, but fuck me that was bad. The collective drop off in quality this season is alarming to say the least. We're a pale imitation of ourselves these days.

Peps loyalty to these players that I hate to say their legs have gone is hurting us badly. Next season will be the same unless we can hate to say it but take the choice of picking those players away from Pep.

I genuinely think if we signed Wirtz and Kev stayed. Kev would start ahead of Wirtz. Gundo is still playing now when we have Nico who is an actual 6.

 

[mexico1970]

What side is the footy on because I think I have been watching beadles about for 45 minutes.

 

[Luke The Blue]

On Pep to change it now

Hahaha he might make a sub around 88 mins if we are lucky.

 

[YatesA]

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

Didn't really create them did we, shitty pen, mistakes. For 60%+ possession we are shite

 

[WallyA]

I like the system, but dont like how Pep has used the players here.

I think wide fullbacks is a good idea, we should be up 3-0 if Haaland could stop being crap.

Nunes brain fart is typical, we need a proper RB in the summer, this is a priority.

Id like to see Marmoush for Silva at 10, then Doku and Savinho have a crack as inverted wingers for KdB and Foden, Doku would thrive here.

O Reilly and Nico is better protection for the backline than Gundo and Kova.

 

[colorado blue]

I think the new signings this season all look like they will be start of rebuilding but we still need a clear out. Bernie, Gundo and Kova all need to go. I wouldn’t mind if Kev stayed another year because still think he can produce with the right team around him or at least be worth having on bench. Not sure why we didn’t start with Omar and Nico today. A Haaland missing a hatrick of very good chances is why we’re losing regardless of how bad Phil, Kevin and others have been.

 

[Wellsblue21]

Pep should be plamed for his selection. By this time he should have diagnosed the City problems but he keep repeating the same mistakes!!. No difference between City 4 months ago and today. We can not creat chances, poor overall performance.

We’ve created 4

 

[HorlocksWalk]

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

I might stay on the concourse for ninety minutes

 

[deano ou812]

Books one of ours for an accidental coming together, but no booking for a deliberate pull back, a scything mistimed lunge and a goalkeeper time wasting from the first minute. Stuart Atwell is a corrupt ****.

He needs investigating it’s as if he’s under orders of some sort,give City nothing and be lenient on Bournemouth..

 

[Sky Blue]

I’m so annoyed that you’re so daft

Oh he’s got good form for being stupid.

 

[Brewster's millions]

We’re so far removed from being a top side it’s almost laughable, or at least it would be if it weren’t so fucking horrible to watch.

We look like some mid table to relegation side. No pattern of play, no discernible formation and players running around, half arsed and doing the bare minimum.

It’s been a piss easy game for Bournemouth, who haven’t even had to play well.

Big changes required in every area.

 

[Tevez City]

When everyone is playing bad, the we know who's fault it is







The manager

 

[Deleted member 10327]

Keep the faith Blues.
Life’s too short.

 

[blueinsa]

Nunes with a howler and the ref is fucking awful.
