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

[spacecadet]

Why the fuck is Iraola leaving this team

Dippers I think

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

If we could find some chemistry in the final third, we’d be an amazing team.

Sadly, we’re still at the vibing it stage and have no real patterns.

 

[phargrave]

Schooled by Bournemouth FFS!!!

 

[christened at st marks]

Nothing left in the legs we cant judge this

 

[skillman]

Body language on a lot of these players stinks of an unexpected punch in the gut from last night’s news IMO

 

[TFC]

Off to Liverpool

He would do a cracking job for us. The fact that Bournemouth (no disrespect) are giving us a tonking speaks volumes about the job he's done.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

I guess we're seeing why despite everyone being shattered, Foden, Savinho and Cherki still didn't get the start.

 

[Coljj]

They might anyway, if Villa win the Europa League it’ll be 6 champions league spots.

We have to beat Villa and Liverpool beat Brentford for that to happen.

 

[Bez]

Come on City. Need a miracle now. Someone needs to step up. Need prime KDB right now tbh.

 

[Tevez City]

Tijjani & Marmoush should be brought now

Its now or never Pep

 

[TinFoilHat]

Omar coming

A fantastic 90's porn film.

 

[madloaf]

Erling had done absolutely nothing

He did play semenyo in and oreilly in for our only two clear cut chances. But yeah. He's done nothing.

 

[cupsforcockups]

marmoosh not for me

 

[GLBlue1995]

Short list of things about the last several years I'll never understand:

(1) Pep's insistance on playing Rodri at less than 100%. He kind of ground him to dust before the knee injury (which might have played a role in said injury) and since's he "come back" Pep's played him into the ground again. I don't rate Gonzales much so part of it, I guess, is that we didn't find a suitable sub, but it's not helped us or Rodri at all.

(2) Why we didn't snap Levy's arm off when he offered 70M for Savinho. I think that's a worse transfer mistake than Phillips or Bony or Mangala, to name a few. I'm not sure we could sell him for 7M at this point.

 

[thyer64]

Is 6th not Europa?

my bad thought you said CL

 

[MCFC1993]

Still time, 15 + 5 to fight for it.

 

[OntarioBlue]

Erling had done absolutely nothing

Tbf, I wouldn’t mark any of our players higher than a 4/10 except Donnarumma because he’s done nothing wrong.

 

[Gray]

Khusanov looks like he is going to cry.

He's not alone.

 

[SuttonColdfieldBlue]

We’re 15 minutes from losing what is effectively a cup final.

When Bournemouth won the ball before in our half, they still had 3 players ahead of the ball.

We instantly retreat as soon as possession turns over, so if we do win it back there’s no one to play it up to… so we wait for everyone to pile forward again, and meanwhile Bournemouth get everyone back.

It doesn’t matter whether we lose 1-0 or 5-0 now so we may as well throw caution to the wind and take some risks. Get up and stay up.

 

[super_city_si]

Shows the difference between this current team and those of years gone by when we could bring on proper game changers.

Still a team in major transition with work to do.

We’re ahead of schedule. Pep was surprised we were even in a title race.
