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

[remember arthur mann]

Comms making a big deal of us fooking up.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Feel like a goal is coming. Sadly not for us.

Pep leaving Rodri on and taking Bernardo off was a very odd switch

Think he wants us to be more direct in our play. Bernardo slows it down.

Sadly, him going off ceded any control we had of the midfield.

 

[jimharri]

Just Fookin watch Arsenal lose

Of course. If there's nothing riding on the game, they're hardly going to bust a gut, are they?

 

[eyalluvitt]

Since the subs we’ve been awful.

Not Peps finest hour

 

[Tb1981]

Doku or nothing
That’s us at the moment

 

[chesterbells]

I was of course referring to the speed in which a team attack which is tactical and decision making.

But you still have to be able to execute the desired or chosen sprints mate - it’s not all in the mind.

 

[akrh215]

can't watch this anymore. we're absolutely hopeless, can't control the ball in midfield at all. we're not scoring here, that's pretty much certain

 

[Scottyboi]

Please can we buy 2 fullbacks if Pep is going.

What's Fabian Delph upto these days?

 

[sh249]

get Phil and Cherki on they shouted at HT...well, we've been worse since they came on

To be fair, no-one said take off the whole midfield and leave an obviously fucked Rodri alone in there.

 

[Brooklands Blue]

Let's see how these tory voting scumbag team go on next year when they have European games to play. Bottom three, I would imagine.

 

[stan bowles]

That's part of the reason we look slow and labored by comparison.

But we're also slower, less athletic and intentionally play more deliberately. It's not going to be better next year without Pep, but I am encouraged that we might see a midfield that's not as old, slow and unathletic as those we've fielded the last 2.5 years.

Give us 10 days off and them 2 extra games in that time and see how we'd compare to them then.

 

[Blu1]

We need at least 4 new players & not squad players

 

[domalino]

Feels like I was watching a decent game until the Nico chance and since then we’ve just been shit?

 

[brummie blue]

Can these professional footballers not run fast on three days rest? Interesting.

We've played 20 games more than them this season, it adds up.

 

[Gray]

That news had the opposite effect. Instead of galvanising it has demoralised the team.

They should just act professionally and get on with things.

 

[ScottSinclair]

Doku has been shite

 

[waspish]

Doku should of crossed it first time there instead of coming back on his other foot!

 

[Metal Biker]

those subs have worked a treat Pep

Everyone on here was screaming for them

 

[mick10]

This is why the Cup final should be the last game of the season

Absolutely

 

[Zenmanc]

Pep out
