Match Thread | Bournemouth vs. Manchester City (19/05/26)

i dont think you take semenyo off. we need goals. he scores them

Actually yeah, Khusanov off for Gvardiol. Need someone in that area of the pitch to just have a bit more composure. Then Cherki for one of Rodri or Kovacic.

 

[wattle]

It’s almost like we’ve come into this to lose on purpose so that it doesn’t interfere with all the goodbye ceremonies on Sunday. Wank selection, even wanker performance

 

[hilts]

He gave up like he always does. Khusanov would have put him in row Z.

No he didn't, the player stopped nunes had him covered, he played a pass inside that gets done all the time and the guy wasnt closed down quick enough and it was a great finish.

You cant expect a full back to play high and always be goal side of his man. He chased him down, the Bournemouth player saw him getting close and checked. Watch the whole play.

 

[Allnightlong]

They won’t. They’ll be desperate for last day drama.

If they were goons would have seen red last night

 

[remember arthur mann]

its the exact same size as the etihad (and 14 other premier league pitches)

Get your tape measure out.

 

[Sky Blue]

Cherki and Foden please. 2-1 job done.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

We’ve had the ball in the net already

 

[M43 blue]

Wrong line up painful slow midfield with kova rodri and Silva in shows for there goal no one getting back hopefully foden and cherki come on

 

[BlueMonkey79]

I’d sell Semenyo this summer. Decent goalscorer, will never be good enough

He's a stop gap at best.

Yes he pops up with goals now and again. But his general overall play is awful.

 

[East Level 2]

We always struggle on these postage stamp pitches.

Same size as the Etihad and most others in the Prem.
What we always struggle against is teams willing to run their bollocks off.

 

[bluebarry]

We always struggle on these postage stamp pitches.

Same size pitch as Etihad

 

[Zenmanc]

Feels like a fooking funeral

 

[Blu1]

Khusanov and Guehi just aren't good enough on the ball. We really need Gvardiol in there.

They have no midfield in front of them is the issue especially against these

 

[cookster]

Great to see the lads working their arses off.
Look like their on the beach, waiting for the World Cup.

 

[ashleycaulcott1]

Pep looks absolutely lost on that touchline btw!

 

[super_city_si]

We need players in the summer.
We need energy in the squad.
This walking football can’t last.

Anderson an absolute must

 

[akrh215]

Manager has bottled it again. No creativity in the lineup whatsoever, the system is absolutely terrible and Kovacic - what is that guy even doing on the pitch? Completely finished.

 

[denislawsbackheel]

We always struggle on these postage stamp pitches.

Bournemouth pitch size 105X68 metres.
City’s pitch size. 105X68 metres.

They are all the same size apart from Liverpool, Everton, Chelsea, Palace and Forest

Even Wembley is 105 X 68 metres

 

[svennis pennis]

It’s almost as if we’ve played three games in 9 days including a cup final with no rest… whilst Bournemouth haven’t played in 9 days.

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Can we sign Kroupe?

Can we sign Iraola? Bournemouth play really well
