We've been way better. No drop into 2nd half!

Cherki the least impressive of our attack this half.

God damn what a hit. As long as he is doing that he should keep playing. Make Phil play deeper if needed.

Gotta be kidding me, how have we not scored.

Like I said early on, this Bournemouth team concede goals for fun. I mainly am watching for Semenyo but doesnt seem like he is doing much so game off for me.

Solid half by Bournemouth. Funny enough I think Semenyo has been their worst player.

Nah Bournemouth have been conceding goals for fun for a while. Don't get your hopes up people.

Yeah alot of sites dont make it clear what they mean. In terms of assists Doku has about 4xA (expected assists)... and has 4 assists as you said. He is basically in line with the chances he has created.

He isnt much of a creator. But considering how often we go long to Haaland to bypass the press, we lack support or other options besides Haaland as a physical threat. Semenyo will actually help Haaland imo, he also adds a huge goal threat as well. We have enough players who can create, we...

Chances created is actually very misleading because I can see how people are misinterpreting it. Those 36 chances created dont refer to "big chances" , only if he made a pass that lead to a shot. That's it.

Personally prefer him RW and think he needs to be focused on creating more. We know the finishing isnt there, he and Pep knows it too. That 1st season on the RW showed how good of a creator he can be, his finishing wasn't good then either. Semenyo on RW will add the goal threat, while Savinho...

I know many have lost their patience with him, but I think Semenyo coming in is good for him to reduce the pressure. Getting those chances is a good thing, and we know the finishing is bad, he has to improve. Personally I like him better on the RW, but I like keeping him as a sub for now...

We were awful 1st half but much improved 2nd half, main issues I noticed. O Reilly very ineffective just staying back, or pinned back, maybe due to the players Sunderland left high up, but still not brave enough imo. Gvardiol pushed way higher when he came on. Nico G for all his physicality...

I'd do that too, get Nunes inverting more rather than bring wide so give the centre more solidity. The wide CBs in the back 3 need more athleticism which Gvardiol and Khusanov bring. This is a simple way to rest O Reilly. I think Semenyo being a wide RW would work really well in this system...

Its crazy how much better the attack looked when he came on, he drifted central in pockets and just wanted the ball. Rodri too, both of them made the control of our game much better. I bet if they started the game, we win that.
