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

[ALDN_Ko]

Remember we have won 2 cups and maybe finish as runners up. Some people on here need to give their heads a wobble.

For me the league would be a bonus. It would be nice to take it to the final day though

 

[bg1968]

Can he play 3 games in a week ?

Pep worked a miracle winning 2 cups this season but he’s also made some poor tactical & team selections this year.

Love him but it’s time for a new city

Would rather Pep stay for another decade and win 20 more trophies

Fair play to Bournemouth. They play great football and are an athletic bunch.

They expose our weaknesses perfectly. We need 3-4 top signings in the summer.

And a new manager.......I think ...

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

"SELL EVERYONE, THEY'RE ALL SHITE".

Can you imagine state of some of them next season when Pep isn’t here and it doesn’t all go rosy from the start? Ironically it’ll be the same bunch who slag pep off.

lol.

 

[spacecadet]

Surely this game should have been tomorrow at the earliest, from a Saturday Cup Final? Every corrupt decision they can think of has gone Tarquins' way.

If we really need to go for it, could even take both full backs off, as they’ve not been in the game at all anyway.

——-Khusanov—Guehi—Gvardiol——
——————Bernardo—Rodri———-
Semenyo—Foden——Cherki—-Doku
————————Haaland—————

Or leave Nunes on for Khusanov, whose head is all over the shop.

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Gone from 1 game a week to 4 in two plus travelling

Gone from decent facilities and staff to a world class facility and staff.

 

[Beanhead]

Come on lads just give us 45mins. And take it to the final day.

 

[Ajm1985]

Put all the players that aren't tired in. foden, savinho, ait nouri, cherki

RAN not on the bench

 

[malg]

Right.......come on Chelsea you cunts

 

[N1985]

So; let's see if the team has the "minerals" to turn this around. Reading the thread, I'm in a minority that thinks we can. But you have to believe, don't you?

We can fully turn it round. We just need the right players on the pitch to do it.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Looks like one game too many this. 4/5 changes might have been a better idea. We didn’t play well Saturday and looked sluggish at times.

Goal was a very poor one to concede from both Nunes and Khousa.

Shit or bust now so I’d bring Foden/Cherki on at HT

 

[thyer64]

How Kovavcic and Bernie get more time on the pitch than Nico G is baffling.

Because Nico G turns like an oil tanker about to topple over. Would be taking extra touches and inviting more pressure on us

 

[roach3]

Trademark, side to side, boring, blunt performance this.

Its side to side because there’s fuckall movement up front, infact apart from Haaland there’s nobody up front.

 

[Roachy]

Fair play to Bournemouth. They play great football and are an athletic bunch.

They expose our weaknesses perfectly. We need 3-4 top signings in the summer.

Midfield needs a mini overhaul.

 

[I'm Blue]

Regardless of the starting lineup it’s a pretty piss poor effort considering we’re supposed to be going for a league title.

 

[Wigan_Citizen]

The leaked news that Pep is leaving seems to have had a negative effect on us. It seems strange that it was announced just before this important game.

 

[DWIFF]

Might get a draw.
Definitely won’t win.
All motivation gone now.

 

[Kippax77]

Bernie off for Cherki.
The guy looks fucked trying to pop up everywhere, especially after the big Wembley pitch 3 days ago

 

[WhyAlwaysMe03]

Rodri, Kovacic, Silva all individually great. But really? We used to employ D Silva/KDB and let them cause havoc. The obsession for control has cost us here I think. Honestly would’ve rather seen Foden x Cherki like earlier in the season, we need to win.
