Bournemouth (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

this thing with playing meh or bad and losing and then showing up in last 10 minutes has always baffled me when it comes to football, if the team can do it why wait so late?

Seems like the final 15 mins were better. I turned the game off at half time because I was a bit disgusted by the play and effort.

Eddy man of the match.

We need bodies in January can't be playing gundo and kovacic in the middle all season.

We got lucky against Wolves and Fulham

January is a nightmare time to buy and shape a squad, so I see us persevering with what we have. If that means taking this season on the chin, so be it.

Absolutely shocking, only turned up for last 10 mins. We need a big big overhaul next summer, makes you wonder if Txiki has ‘retired’ or if he’s been told to leave cause this squad is a disgrace, far too many old and injury prone players.

Joined 2016 the day after the dippers beat us 3-0, hmmm and hmmm

peps biggest mistake was convincing walker to stay, total liabilty these days
stats on 80 mins
shots on target bournmouth 8 city 0
says it all.
biggest worry for me is the amount of players coming to the end of their city careers at the same time

It's only one game we lost, and we are panicking here.
The day is coming when we lose the league title and win nothing Get a grip, some people on here can not take losing and point fingers and blame Pep,

Yes Injuries, Yes players are not fully fit, But you don't lose titles on a day like this you lose titles because you can not ask any more from this squad of players that have won it 4 times on the bounce and add Champions League and fa cups and you realize how lucky we have been in 5 seasons,

Nobody likes losing, but it is football and today was not our day

Yep, thats the problem , being so used to winning all the time. I take myself as an example , i let this poor game get in to my head and ruin my mood, shouldnt be like that lol, i can 't control anything they do :d

Our defense has been terrible this season. Mancini first job was get the defense solid and the spine of the team in midfield and the rest takes care of itself. Today we got caught lingering on the ball and fair dues to Bournemouth they kept on nicking it whilst playing some good football. On a brighter note we are I think in a better position this season then last and that ended well. So no dispair just as yet it’s a long season and other top teams are dropping points.

 

[Sheik Battle and Goal]

First PL defeat in 33 games. One defeat with an injury ravaged squad and still 2nd.
We can’t play well every game and can’t win every game. It’s impossible. Everyone has a bad day at the office sometime.

Not withstanding the 115, Pep uncertainty and injuries, the foot taken off the gas since the Treble is concerningly palpable.
