Bournemouth (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

[hinchcliffes bulbous conk]

Great tempo today, no one taking too many touches and crisp passing. One or two sloppy moments aside there is very little to moan about, which means this thread gets to less than 30 pages.

Pep 2.0 simmering nicely. Still work to do but looking promising.

"Alty" is a ****.

3.0, surely?!

 

[Sibierskii]

I agree. He shouldn't be playing for City.

The pile on from the ‘fans’ is Embarrasing. Nunes had the same treatment and now he’s having his name sang.

 

[Lord Blue]

So you might expect our attack to suffer without Kev and then you realise that we’re currently leading scorers in the PL !!

 

[Coatigan]

Needed that today. On so many levels.

 

[The Blue Eh]

Haven’t seen any “Are City better without Haaland?” clickbaits recently. Shocking, I know.

Well done you beautiful blue boys! We seem to be clicking at the right time in the season.

What a difference it makes having one creative player with spatial awareness and accurate weighted passes to the Norse beast.

It’s also time for others to step up and get on the scoresheet as NOR has done today. Otherwise Burnley defender Maxine Estevé might end the season as our second best goal scorer.

Dip into the Savinho thread. You'll have a ball mate.

 

[JULES]

nice to enjoy a good game of football.

 

[shemnel]

struggling to beleiev it since we basically had all the ball since the third goal

I saw it differently, bournemouth had plenty but less effectively.

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

If only Savinho and Doku looked up instead of going for glory. We could have scored 6 or 7 if they weren’t so frantic. Great to see Nic O’Reilly on the scoresheet, Phil was excellent, doing all the invisible creativity, Nico Gonzalez and Nunes and Cherki getting better every game, and great to see Rodri back for a cameo. What’s not to love?

Footnote: Forgot to mention the Viking.

What a difference when both teams want to play football great to watch, good win city.
No one can be critical of the team today Shirley ?

 

[oldius]

Haaland, Cherki, Nunes, Gonzalez, O'Reilly all brilliant.
Foden covered so much ground and dovetailed with Cherki superbly.
That back four is really performing well and gives a very solid base for the team.
Well done boys.

 

[Gray]

Nunes was outstanding.

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

Top scorers in the premier league...players getting minutes coming back from injury...up to 2nd having beaten a very good team....very pleased.
We need to keep the momentum going though as there are only 4 points separating us & 11th.

 

[Ajm1985]

Really good performance. Dipped a bit in the start of the second half (part us being sloppy, part Bournemouth changing their press), but overall it was good.

Nunes, Nico G & O'Reilly really great and I'm a big fan of the front 4 - Cherki is a genius! Get Rodri & Nico as a double pivot and we'll fucking flourish!

[NorCalBlue]

Can someone is US tell me — who was the colo(u)r commentator on USA paired with Jon Champion?

Sounded like Steve McMananofuckingclueaman

 

[BlueDan91]

Also want to add that the game was very enjoyable all round, we pay to go to the stadium to be entertained, win, lose, or draw.

Thought Bournemouth played well, thought we played great at times.

Pantomime villain in Taylor

Entertainment all round.

Happy to hear the stadium wide Nunes chants too near the end. Lad deserves it.

 

[hilts]

Enjoyable stuff, good work lads
