Oh great well done Gundogan.

He's been absolutely dog shit since his return.

He’s been poor by his former standards, but he’s hardly been dog shit.

 

[citytill1die84]

Josko, Matheus, Rico & Jez.


Rest were a disgrace

Ederson was good.

 

[Phil1]

Stubborn Pep is the worst Pep.

 

[cookster]

We had a higher xG. Just shows what fucking nonsense that is.

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

Expected to lose today

Piss poor but can’t ignore the injuries and 4 or 5 half fit / out of form players having to play

I totally expect us to lose in Lisbon as well

There will be a response in Lisbon. I am sure of it.

 

[Gabriel]

Gundogan, Kovacic, and Bernardo together may give us plenty of calm possession, but it’s pedestrian paced and largely lateral. Bournemouth looked hungrier from the opening minutes and found us easy to contain.

 

[BolinCell]

Prob the wake up call we normally need. Wouldn't be surprised if we go on a 10 game unbeaten run!

I would, I would be very surprised if we went on a 10 game run with this set of players.

 

[Akira]

How did we not win this, what are we even paying Michael Oliver for?

 

[BlueMonkey79]

He got the assist today !

Doesn't mask his awful performances since his return.

 

[balotellishaircut]

Unfortunately I can’t argue with any of that. We’ve got to try and hang on within 5 points of the dippers by about Xmas then we have a chance. If we don’t win it at least we’ll get rid of some of the shit fans we’ve inherited

Plenty of twists and turns to come, this post is over thinking in my opinion.

 

[Sleeping_Easy]

Injuries and fitness taking its toll on the squad at the moment. Let’s not over think it lads.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Can't afford to do that and risk two extra games in the new year.

We’re likely to lose with our best available team too. My priority would be trying to hang in the title race until January because our season absolutely can unravel from here with the injuries and the flogged players.

 

[Blue2202]

Josko, Matheus, Rico & Jez.


Rest were a disgrace

Ederson stopped it being a humiliation

 

[Withnail]

Second best today and Bournemouth were full value for the win. Yes we could have snatched a draw, but Bournemouth spurned several chances. Quite evident several players were n't fit, Doku was excellent when he came on and perhaps should have been brought on earlier.

Our defence just could not handle Semenyo's pace and power. Worryingly up until Doku came on we created very little and despite his assist Gundogan does n't warrant a starting place.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Poor for too long in that match. Our midfield is really struggling to create anything. Performances are slowly getting worse as this season progresses.
Plus points...good from Ederson again, Doku looked dangerous when he came on, we're only a couple of points off the top
Bad points - Phil still not at his best, Walker was mince, Gundo had another off day
Something is just not quite right at the moment

 

[jimharri]

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.

Averaging one post a month. Hmm.

 

[N1985]

Well done Bournemouth, they've got some absolutely brilliant players. We look like we have nothing left in the legs with players just not able to get to the ball first or players shying out of tackles because they're half fucked anyway. Is what it is. I'd be more than happy with a top 4 finish, and possibly the CL or the FA Cup. The Rodri injury has absolutely done us in.

 

[footballmanager]

i mean, its the same mini crisis every season right around this time, i somehow doubt that we will be able to turn it around with away games vs brighton and liverpool coming soon but stranger things have happened

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

We had a higher xG. Just shows what fucking nonsense that is.

It was all in the last 10 minutes.

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

Appalling.

Walker and Gundo embarrassing!
