Dixon is **** when he commentates on our matches and he seems to hate Foden.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.
I thought it was weird they never showed replays, or barely mentioned, the fouls on our players especially in the second half.
Erling's injury was the only one, but the "tackles" on Khusanov, Gvardial looked nasty and nothing!
Nunes ! neverThis should be the back four until the end of the season

Spot on mate; second half brilliant and all those subs were outstanding.OReilly Marmoush and Grealish changed the game with their energy and drive which made Bournemouth defend deep.
A very frustrating first half but we redeemed ourselves 2nd half with a solid performance. Bring on Forest.
By “to an extent” I recognised that we need some of them but the team has to be leavened by sprinkling some pacey players in there. O’Reilly is the obvious one, maybe Doku is the other. Pure pace maybe not necessary, just play at a faster tempo.I thought some of the old guard were superb, especially the ginger prince.

I disagree with you on the 1st half. We were really competitive in the 1st half but didn't take our chances.The first half was a groundhog day of our season. Slow, pedestrian missing easy chances, including a penalty then concede with the first effort against us. I will admit I thought fuck this and went to cook the dinner, get showered and changed to get out early. I followed the score on the match day thread. Made up.we won obviously but by God are we ever going to click into any sort of decent consistent form?
A place has to be found for O'Reilly.
Agree with your comment about O'Reilly. I have been a bit disappointed with Pep that he hasn't used him more earlier but he was so impressive today in such a big game that we can say he has arrived

As much as it was a good performance Bournemouth defo looked leggy what pleased me most was I could still see a hunger from the players especially 2nd half they still want more medals. I actually think we destroy forest. Villa would be tough in the final tho.

Hope that’s not the driver. Fella looks like hes a few shandies in ;)
Just because some people might think we'll not do well because of the adverse results we've had recently doesn't mean mean that we're any less blues than you. We're not soldiers going over the top to war, you do know that don't you?A big f%&k off to all the pathetic wet wipes in the pre match thread

Forest have got exactly the side that will cause us problems. A solid defence, MGW, and Elanga.As much as it was a good performance Bournemouth defo looked leggy what pleased me most was I could still see a hunger from the players especially 2nd half they still want more medals. I actually think we destroy forest. Villa would be tough in the final tho.
But if we play like we did today we should win. Superb effort from the blues today.

According to stats from whoscored.com & Sofascore , O'Reilly has the highest rating
And the old needs to be gone asap KDB is second
For me, KDB was our best attacker this game.
His calmness, control and vision created the chance for the first goal

Today's game shows you how important confidence is in football. 6 weeks ago Bournemouth were flying. Not now! After City equalised they collapsed. Mentality is huge in football.

Absolutely, but we weren't and those failings have haunted us all season.
Better second halve subs were excellent. I just wonder would pep have made those changes had Khusanov not been booked or Haaland got injured. We looked miles better (nunes aside he’s wank) with the lads who ended the game than we did who started.
