Bournemouth (A) - FA Cup | Post Match Thread

[Jocks Y-Fronts]

Eddie didn’t have one save to make.
Ref was abysmal

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Oh do fuck off! Would you or any of us have brought O’Reilly on for Khuzanov? A centre mid, at left back to replace a centre half. Would you bollox

Take a run yourself.
We improved after the first 2 subs, neither of which Pep had anticipated.

Interestingly Bournemouth did drop off in the second half. They were seriously high energy first half but sat off and allowed us to control it second half.

 

[mosssideblue]

Not good enough because we waste three big chances in first half.

If Haaland chances went it in first half, it will be fucking different games.

Three chances to score one goal sadly not three

 

[flb]

Got a great replacement in Marmoush.

100% mate , more than capable

 

[Blueknows]

Great 2nd half performance , Twatwell and Dixon fucking disgraceful bias throughout and where the fuck did they find 7 minutes from ?

 

[Vic]

how did we win that

By having eight shots on target to their one?

 

[eyalluvitt]

The commentary verbal pro Bournemouth diarrhea was absent 2nd half, just lots of awkward silences, delightful

 

[oldius]

Well played boys. A good win, and that's all important. Well played to Nico and Jack who both played well when they came on, Nico being a huge game-changer.

 

[MichaelFrontzeck'sBathroom]

Fucking get in, o’reilly absolutely immense

[Eccles Blue]

how did we win that

Because we played well and because the BOYS IN BLUE NEVER GIVE IN, THEY FIGHT TO THE END!!

A few key points...

I thought we were brilliant. Not just in the second half, I thought we showed flashes in the first with some neat play in the middle and would have been ahead comfortably if we just took our chances. What did Bournemouth create in that first half apart from their goal? Nothing really. We made a slow start but despite the hysteria, Ederson wasn't required to make a single save. Overall, it should have been more comfortable - could easily have been 4/5.

The complaints about Kova, KDB and Gundogan in the middle - "too slow/too old/Pep picking favourites is costing us etc." - well they played 83 minutes and we won away against tough opposition... We'll just forget about all that, I guess?

And for the people saying Pep should walk in the Match Thread at half-time... Seven FA Cup semi-finals in a fucking row. The man can take us down to Division 8 for all I care.

Three chances to score one goal sadly not three

I said three chances in first half and one of them he fucked up the penalty spot.

He only scores in second half.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Another who appears gutted we won not to much to moan about eh

Not at all.
I said we improved as the match went on and the first 2 subs changed that. Pep didn't want to make them at that time.
What's wrong with that.

 

[levets]

Great gritty 2nd half. Well done blues. Nunes despite his monumental fuck up, had a good game.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

You’d think the TV company would be celebrating a memorable victory for the plucky underdog…….

 

[mscenterh750]

Easy peasy lemon squeezie.

 

[BlueAnorak]

You can't miss penalties in games like this - how many is it now?

 

[stan bowles]

7 successive FA Cup Semi FInals. Is this a record ?
