Bournemouth (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

[Stoned Rose]

Every dog has it's day, and Walker has had his. Great servant but he needs to be gone at the end of the season

Still confident of the league, but it's going to be a slog; a long fucking slog.

Camera panned to Walker in the warm up and he looked absolutely knackered (in the face).

Nowhere near fit, let alone match fit, but he’s dug in and helped as best he could imo, so he needs some leeway today imo.

Problem with McAtee is that when he gets a chance, he doesn’t grab it and say you can’t drop me now. His performance against Spurs was lacklustre and I thought he was outshone by O’Reilly.

For me, Nunes needs to move into the middle now to see if he can do it there and Doku can come back in.

Maybe if James got a run of games instead of sitting on the bench, could give Gundo a rest as well he certainly isn’t justifying his place in the team

"Games won" is not a stat sheet. You can use your eyes to go and look at the 18 trophies he's won here aswell if it helps.

Yep

He's won more than the whole history of Manchester City up to 2011

We are going to come up short and don't win anything that's football, The Foundation of this great club was built on not being glory hunters and fans wanting to turn up for the right reasons, Supporting your Club through thick and thin and in the good and bad times,

Still think Bournemouth are a bang average side @jimharri ?

The monumental head loss with people claiming it's actually some huge underlying trend and we need to change everything every time we lose is getting a little embarrassing tbh. Sometimes you just lose.

Poor from all involved barring Ederson today.

Thin squad is visible to a blind man but we still had 11 internationals out there today who had more in them than they showed. I’ll give a lot of credit to Bournemouth who went forward whenever they could and took their chances.

We’ve been nursing ourselves through games and have got through them thankfully, but playing that way and trying to just do enough is going to see us come unstuck.

What it’s massively getting on my tits is our reluctance to shoot. I know the stats show that we sometimes have 20/30 shots in a match but we seem to pass opportunities to put a foot through it in favour of slowing it down and passing it sideways to someone who is marked by 3 men. Yes, I know today was our first loss but it really has been noticeable to me.

McAtee shouldn’t be at the club if he can’t get on the pitch in a game like today. If we’re going to run with a small squad we need players he trusts.

Anyway, let’s see what this week brings. Tough one on Wednesday and if we play this way again next Saturday Brighton will twat us.

 

[Gordyola]

Can't help but think we have talked ourselves into this defeat.

All fucking week all I've heard is injuries, fatigue, too many games etc etc
from Pep and the fans.

Fuck all should have been said, and anyone needed today should not have played last Wednesday!

I hope those idiots demanding a strong team at Spuds midweek are happy now!

I and most couldn't give a shit about losing that, today though means a lot more.

This

EDS midweek instead of a strong squad absolutely ridiculous to play that team the players needed a rest instead we picked up more injuries stupidity All this about not wanting to knock their confidence, if they had got hammered so what? They shouldn’t be professionals if that would knock them back

 

[Hgblue2]

Been coming this. Rodri and KDB are such big misses, I was interested to see what Pep would come up with. Presumed it would be something creative, but Kovacic and Gundogan? I could have dreamt that one up.

yep, sporting away and brighton will be really tough games ,if we keep playing this way. Our defending needs to improve a lot.

Yep.They weren't today, though. They'll finish mid table (at best) in my opinion. Which I'm guessing they'll be delighted with. That is the ultimate definition of average. In my opinion*. I see you want to drag up old posts. Fair enough; if that's the way you want to go, okay.
