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

[stan bowles]

Come on City. Let's see what you've got.

 

[ThreesKompany]

Pep already playing for Wednesday.

 

[Wellsblue21]

He’s taken Khusanov off!

Could be a knock from that tackle

If not, Atwells caused that with that ridiculous yellow

 

[Chak19]

The answer is easy

the players on the bench change nothing.....who on the bench replaces Gundo and KDB or Bernardo?

Nico OReilly? !!!! he is a young talent but he aint changing anything in this team....the players outwide dont sort the issues out which are in the centre of the pitch.

Grealish - what does he add centrally?

Marmoush doesnt change anything in the midfield...he just ends up isolated as our midfield dnt provide anything

Lewis just gets bullied

Yeah all of the players on the bench are utter shite and Bournemouth have so much more quality players right ? no surprise considering they spent 200 million in January and we spent nothing right ? if Pep can't get anything from the players he has it's his fault, end of story.

 

[Gaz76]

Not sure we can pin this performance on the ref, to be honest. It could be Buzzer out there, and we'd still be losing

We have had four big chances, they have had one and scored, we are still the best team on the pitch

 

[YatesA]

Of course we created them

Basic levels of football that, a handball and a mistake from Bournemouth. Any team could garner that

 

[Chippy_boy]

Oh brilliant our best defender of late is off. Can this get any worse.

 

[jimharri]

Will he have the nerve to come out after the game, and say we played well?

 

[Gobshiight]

Nice of the ref to ensure we see at least one substitution

 

[OntarioBlue]

So now we’re playing with no full backs. Genius or madness ?

 

[simon23]

Lewis in midfield would be better than what we have right now

i think time after time that has been proven not true - he is equally as bad

 

[deano ou812]

The one player running his bollocks off has been taken off

You couldn’t make this up although he is on a yellow

 

[bluegaz13]

Even the best of the City teams could be losing today….but we are so predictable and looking at the starting line up….i don’t think anyone will be surprised at the score.

I love Pep….but honestly think he is part of the problem.

He will not freshen it up with younger players….Echeverri is already being rumoured to be shipped out……if he’s not better than the current midfielders available he must be poor.

Too much of the same old same old with the vague hope of things turning around.

Still thing we will today though !

 

[OldhamBlue94]

oh fuck off pep what on earth is that substitution about

 

[Goater=Legend]

That's poor taking Khusanov off just because he's booked.

 

[Blueknows]

Nobody was arsed to run into the box then wtf

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Bizarre sub that, but with this ref dishing out cards for nonsense fouls there is a huge chance of going down to 10.

 

[lonestay]

Kush off because of the yellow or because he threatened to assassinate the squad ??

 

[Blu1]

Hate to say it pep is our problem now :-(

 

[ThreesKompany]

Back yourself and take that shot, Nico
