Bournemouth's right back looked good, Jimenez. One to keep an eye on

Very good performance against a very good team. It never felt like Bournemouth were totally out of but still a well deserved 3 points IMO

Probably the cherries worst performance of the season & playing the high line was all wrong

Might be something to do with the fact they were playing us

Most teams play 11 behind the ball, that’s not cherries game & they came unstuck

He got it wrong today though.Thought they could go toe to toe with us with a high back line and got punished by fast moving counters.
Great team performance just missing some set piece success now

Not sure he got it wrong, we were just very good and have better players.

Really impressed by how they sold 3 of their starting defenders in the summer, replaced them for less, and are now better for it. Impressed by their approach today also - if we hadn't been quite so good we'd easily have lost that.

Because they were playing us

And most teams, when they play 11 behind the ball, still come unstuck against us. So they might as well play their game.

I was hoping it would be that kind of team. Congrats to B&BAfc for coming and playing an attacking game. Nothing suits us better. It was a good solid team performance from front to back. The only poor performance on the pitch was from that shitehawk in the yellow.

OMG was he corrupt...

 

[JewelZee]

Neville was in the U.S. doing studio work. We had Champion and Mcmanahan (I think) doing colo(u)r and he couldn’t have been more biased against City, whoever it was.

Neville picked us 3-1. Still a prick...

 

[supercity88]

Was great to see Haaland just attack the space knowing with Cherki in the side he would play the pass. And good for someone other than him to get a goal too!

 

[cleavers]

I like it that we're mixing it up more as well - when we play that ball for Haaland to chase, it's game over.

We can only play that though, if the opposition are high, most sit along the edge of the area, so we need a different plan than we've had. Iraola played to our strengths today, and we took them.

We might be able to catch the dippers next week, as they might do similar.

Not trying to be critical, just realistic.

 

[TheBlueCat]

I really don't get him, he's useless imo. He's young so I'll give him time to improve!

Nowhere near good enough

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Fuck me. We won 3-1. I used to love reading in the Pink of any and all victories. You cunts not celebrating- fuck off and then fuck off a bit more.

No one’s not celebrating, or at least I’m not not celebrating. But I think too many people think Bournemouth played well. I think they defended like shit. Still, in tight spaces save for the opening part of the 2H, we were also excellent, and effectively every one of the starters contributed a good performance, so I’d say we gelled in probably the best way we have all year against a solid side who made tactical and execution errors.

And that’s gotta put Slot in a bit of a quandary since they aren’t built to sit back.

English is my first language, but what do you mean by ,

"Savinho just do one"

I get you are not being complimentary.

He means he should just Fuck Off!
He’s right too…

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

Nowhere near good enough

He's a spurs level player. I said so in the summer when most on here were bleating about not wanting him to go. I can see us getting half the money next summer.

On a more positive note. Really happy Cherki has got in the team and he's got to be given a run of games now. Also Really pleased with Nico G. If Rodri gets back to full fitness I'd play them both. We need his consistency.

 

[Micky Blue]

Most goals scored.
Joint 3rd lowest conceded.

It’s not been pretty at times. But the stats are good.
I don’t think we’ll win the league, but it’s hopefully the start of a team which in a season or 2 can challenge.

 

[Lee the Blue]

Entertaining game that against an opponent who will give most teams trouble. Haaland razor sharp, Gonzalez again really good and O'Reilly also excellent. Good first half from Cherki but he tired in the 2nd and gve it away a bit too often then so his subbing was timed right, but again he showed huge potential - his quick first time pass for the 2nd goal was something Erling has been craving.

Im not his biggest fan but Nunes was notably excellent today. And there was also still time for Savinho to serve up another 15 minute cameo carnival of crap - the cheek of him waving his arms at crowd as well. Hes currently fucking useless and not worthy of a shirt or any mins on the pitch. Mulder and Scully will look into how he crowbarred a 6 year contract from us.

We'll challenge this for me.

Great match should’ve been 4-1/5-1 to City at very least… Taylor as always being the shyster of a ref…
Awful after match… taxi driver hit two City fans, one in his 70s with heart condition and his son… helped the 70 year old bloke up… the taxi driver sped off… awful…was on road between ashburys and Mary D’s
