Bournemouth (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

[5 Hit Gibbon]

The positives are we got 3 points & kept a clean sheet. Phil Foden was brilliant.

Second half was a lot closer than I would have liked and we rode our luck at times defensively.

Should have been out of sight after 1st half but had to dig in 2nd half. Good 3 points away but need to up the performance for tougher games to come.

Another meh performance

Another 3 points

Not particularly inspired but think it was always going to be a tricky game

Move onto the Derby which I think will be a difficult game

Probably the best I've ever seen us play. Up there with the semi against Madrid last year

Our best 0-1 win at Bornemouth in decades

Bournemouth got what they deserved: nothing. As well as they did, City were better and actually scored. Bournemouth were not unlucky not to score and City were not lucky to score.

Take the blue tinted glasses of mate , the positive was we played so poorly and still took the three points , lets hope its a blip and despite a decent points return the last three games have been underwhelming against teams that last season we would have pummelled.
We are missing a fully fit KDB to open up teams and relying too much on Phil to provide the magic at the moment , will never give up on the league title but we need to shake off this wastefullness in front of goal.

I have to say, Izzy is a brilliant pundit.

Has she finally stopped willing Bournemouth on for the win ?

 

[Gone for a Burton]

Game of 2 halves,could've been 2/3 up at half time.

Credit their coach, he took Phil,Bernard & Rodders out of the game for most of the second half and pinned us back...we lost control.

However... 8/9 wins, clean sheet, no injuries, no card for Rodders and the out of town imposters next week .

"We're still on our perch,
We're still on our perch,
Fuck off back to Mon Ar Cho,
We're still on our perch" !!

Bournemouth had 13 attempts today and 9 of them were second half. Few misplaced crosses too. We lost control of the game. Rodri must be knackered now though. We can’t play him at Luton.

Exactly, worst I've seen Rodders, he needs a rest for the March schedule.If we have to sacrifice the FA Cup so be it,Lewis and Bobb need another run out.
Bottom line rather have 3 points, no good playing well and dropping points now.

Bang on. At this point, it's all about results. Performances, while a nice addition, are secondary.


That being said, a "blow them out of the water" type display next weekend would be very nice.

We HAVE to be up for that one, both first and second half. Blow them away and keep going, don’t stop or take the foot off the accelerator.
