[Nellies left peg]

Big question for me is why have the goals dried up?

When the ball goes to Doku there is no end product

Great result but fucking hell we have lost the ability to bury teams haven’t we? 3 goals in the last 3 games and we just look so pedestrian! So frustrating how poor we have been for half a season, Erling needs to get back in the goals properly and we need to start hitting the goal trail as the dippers and the arse are scoring 4-5 a game the last few weeks and the dippers certainly have a load of injuries. Are the lads knackered already or is Pep holding us back?

The result flatters us. That second half they overwhelmed us physically.

Could easily have drawn that so grateful for the win but we need to start scoring more.

Could easily have lost. Only Bournemouth's dire finishing prevented it. Has it been Liverpool we'd have conceded 2 or 3 seconds half at least.

Saving them for the rags next week.

The lads are human - not robots. We've played more games than any other side - more intense games as well - travelling round the world collecting two trophies - those games were tough. Hard though Bournemouth made life for us with their hard work especially second half - with us not at capacity - we deserved the win however you look at the stats - especially the important one - goals scored.

There was no end product before he came on- he just continued the dross we were playing up front

Cudda, wudda, shudda. If we want to review our performance on that basis we 'shudda' scored a few more. We had more 'shuddas' than Bournemouth.

Third clean sheet in five games - that also has to be a positive considering how few clean sheets we’ve had this season

For all the Eddie haters AGAIN he's making crucial important saves.
Obviously having jonny stones back is also assisting with the cleansheets.
Foden is world class and showed it again tonight.
My only negative is how poor we are at corners especially after watching Arsenal keep scoring from them.
Keep the faith CTID
