“Wow guys, you play like that in front of our fans who travel & can’t pay for their heating, wow”

"We were there, so good so so good, but the final action, but so good.". Ah, it's the little things I'll miss.

 

[Doc_Testosterone]

Congrats to Arsenal, not sure why we are playing with the geriatric trio today in midfield.

 

[Chak19]

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

Oh piss off will you.

 

[samuelyeboah]

can't even blame the players we've been thoroughly fucked by the schedule to be honest. 4 games in 9 days! we've won the most important of them so it is what it is

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

Bernardo had a couple of decent performances in big games which have distorted the fact he has been utter wank for 2 years.

The least effective player on the pitch every week, I don't care if he pops up in 8 different positions over the 90 minutes.

 

[waspish]

Pep plays like this puts the skilled players on second half! Semyno ahead of Haaland form his pass pity he was ofside but that where he should be for me!

 

[Gabriel]

Don’t think Maresca (if it is him) is going to stray too far from what we’re seeing.
It’ll be more of the same.

Much will depend on how well the midfield is overhauled this summer.

 

[eyalluvitt]

Anyone could see a tough evening coming here. Our run in has been horrid compared to Arsenal’s

The stars definitely aligned for them, and a sprinkling of favourable VAR decisions

 

[69FACUPfinal]

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

No. They are not all the same size. I've got a book about Northern Footy grounds and every one has different dimensions.

I always find Klanfield to be cramped, and down south Chelsea.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Foden has to come on at halftime. Take your pick between kovacic and semenyo at who he replaces. I'd personally get them both off and get savinho on the right, at least he'll go at his man and probably won't just run the ball out of play and generally look like he's never kicked a ball before. Showing tonight exactly why we don't deserve to be champions this season. We aren't champions calibre.

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

No shame in acknowledging that Bournemouth in this form would give every team in world football problems at home. Second half will tell us if we have it in us to pull something out of the fire.

 

[Ric]

Was always going to be difficult tonight after the cup final, and the Pep stuff probably hasn’t helped either. Need some changes at half-time to liven things up, but struggling to see us getting the win we need at the moment. Not even that gutted really, the title was effectively over after the draw at Everton.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Well, that could have gone better. I checked out of this season after the great win on Saturday so not that concerned, will just ignore all Arse media for a few weeks.
Need to make changes at HT...get some pace on. Rodri has been ineffectual I'm afraid to say. Created one chance early on and nothing since.
Mind you, we were a goal down in the cup game here last season and came back to win so we can do it again.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Starting to feel like the Wigan cup final.

 

[jimharri]

Match thread playing a blinder tonight. I might as well join in....

"SELL EVERYONE, THEY'RE ALL SHITE".

 

[ALDN_Ko]

Oh ffs he has been here since January relax. He literally won the cup for us this weekend..

They want Messi mate. 99% efficiency every game. We all know he’s better as a CF but because Savio can’t shoot we have to play Semenyo RW.

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

Very half arsed performance so far. The finish for the Bournemouth goal was quality to be fair to them.

We need to change something. I'd rather have a go and get beat by 3 than continue as we are. I'd get Cherki on for Kovacic.

 

[mick10]

This season might be the end for me too. Can’t stand the fucking diving. It’s gone to new levels this year.

Really has. Ridiculous

 

[N1985]

Is what it is. Bournemouth have been fantastic. We look knackered and out of ideas. Get Phil and Cherki on and go for it.

 

[Sky Blue]

One of many unfortunately

The state.
