Bournemouth (A) - FA Cup | Post Match Thread

[Legal Alien]

Well played CITY, seven semi's in a row, get the fuck in!

We deserved that and we should've won that by more.

It was a weird game, we looked sluggish in the first half but could've been 3 nil up.
No idea what Erling was doing & the penalty was particularly shite!
We were awful after that and gave up a shite goal with both Nunes and Ederson fucking culpable.

Fuck knows what was said at halftime but the rocket worked!

We dominated from the off and everyone played really well in the second half.
We played quickly and looked a threat going forward and with Dias and Gvardiol in the middle with Kovacic sitting in front, we were solid and started to look like ourselves.

Nico O'Reilly take a bow lad, a great second half!
What a ball for Erling's goal and his tenacity to win the ball and put in another great ball was brilliant, he has to start in the week surely!

Fair play to Nunes, apart from the goal he had a good game and i'd keep playing him.

Kev, Gundo, Bernie rolled back the years in the second half.

We need to keep this level up for the rest of the season, the top 4 and FA Cup final are musts now.

It's always great to win, i just hope Erling is going to be alright now.

1st half was a cluster fuck. 2nd half we took a bit of control. Good turnaround. Happy with the win.

Pep needs to change his selection. Forget the old guard to an extent. Look for pace and young energy; it’s there in the form of O’Reilly. He’s surely a number 10.

I thought some of the old guard were superb, especially the ginger prince.

 

[Goro]

those changes literally changed the game

 

[lust overlord]

One of the biggest thundercunts on here called Pep a coward for his halftime time sub!! A blue my arse

I'm pretty sure there is the odd wum in the match thread,however most of them are just typing the first load of cobblers that pops into their heads at times,heat of the moment thundercunts mostly;)

I think it’s clear Pep wants to win one last time with ‘his team’ he will be playing Gundo, Kev and Bernardo in the semi. Nico will be left back. Excited for it, Forrest were pretty poor against Brighton and they are playing the champions.

Never realised the obvious until you stated it. Pep really wants Gundo, Kev and Bernardo to win this cup and then they will be gone. Possibly Pep too.

Oreilly should be given a chance in midfield before the semi ffinal

 

[super_city_si]

Whatever happened at half time we were a different team second half. We had control. We played in those tight triangles and we moved the ball side to side. We had passages of play and it was recognizable. A bit of fight too.

Oreilly and Grealish were brilliant when they came on.

 

[Norman kneejerk]

Hahaha these cunts on ITV are seething. Good second half from everybody to be honest. O'Reilly set the tone, breakthrough performance from him, came on and grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck seemed to inject energy into everyone else around him even Kev and Gundo seemed to get their legs back. Simply has to start on Wednesday.

Commentator ' That's a vicious challenge there by Gundogan- was barely a foul"
Dixon - penalty was a s'hame"
2nd half commentator screaming for Bournemouth free kicks.
3 things I noticed - farcical.

Take it Lee Dixon you biased City hating Tarquin prick.

We played well in the 1st half and really really well in the 2nd

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

I’m struggling to understand this superhuman first half performance by Bournemouth as seen by some posters.
Looked like a classic city performance of the last few seasons, save for the balls up by Nunes.
Opposition run around in the first half like dervishes and yet create next to nothing. City have most of the ball and create some excellent chances. Second half kicks off and the dervishes are absolutely knackered. City score 2, should have got another 2, concede no shots on target and win at a cantor. Marvellous..

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Josko and Dias looked solid. Stick Khusanov and nico in at football and that looks a decent balance

 

[super_city_si]

Excellent second half and O Reilly should be starting now.

I’m all for it and it means moving Gvardiol to cb where he was a beast.

 

[ballbag]

2nd half was much more like it. Well played, lads.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

We played well the whole game unfortunately for some city fans.

One of the biggest thundercunts on here called Pep a coward for his halftime time sub!! A blue my arse though he has blue in his username

Who was it pal?

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.

Given 115 charges, he probably will.

 

[Marvin.]

Take it Lee Dixon you biased City hating Tarquin prick.

Yep. Dixon is an idiot and Ian Wright isn't far behind.

 

[levets]

When was the last time we went behind away and won?
