It’s certainly not the first time, it’s Bournemouth’s first timeHearing that's the first time in PL that a team has not actually had a shot in a game. Utterly pointless exercise on their behalf.

He certainly did today. I actually thought that was DeBruyne’s best game for a while as well, unfortunately.Looks better without KDB.
I think they’ve both looked a bit tired / low on confidence recently, so when they’re both in the same side it probably doesn’t help either of them.
Bernado is such a livewire in there, so good at pressing, it left Dave more licence to get on the ball and control the game.

PEP John (came off as a) precaution. @DeBruyneKev has a little muscular problem, he may be out for a while - hamstring. When they play 25 games in 92 days it doesn't give them time to recover.

Commented before the game , i was looking forward to a good game and a few goals because Howe doesnt park the bus , that was pathetic from Bournemouth and their whinging f*cking supporters , Howe and his team got what they deserved , f*cking nothing and deserve no credit whatsoever , anti-football alive and kicking at Dean Court or whatever its called now.
Its often said the opposition dont have to do what suits us as in try to play but fuck me, they are a PL club and that today from them was an utter embarrassment.
Managers like Howe get lauded but then they come up with a game plan like that and wonder why they dont every get a job at a bigger club?

I don't think we looked tired today - maybe a bit too languid first half. But we were up against an understandable and well organised bus. We're sort of ticking over at the moment before we go through the gears. Just hope the injuries aren't too bad. I was worried when Kevin went off, but hopefully the way he walked off suggests this is just a niggle.Huge three points after a tiring couple of weeks, we are running on empty on energy and numbers and desperately need this rest.
KDB, Stones, Jesus and obviously Mendy are becoming a huge problem. It's no good having great players who are always injured. I think Pep will have a big look at it close season, some uncomfortable decisions may have to be made.
Credit to the lads though in spite of everything one cup in the bag and pressure on the dippers. I expect them to win comfortably tomorrow but it would be wonderful if they drop points.
Hasn’t he already said we would be looking for a LB and DM in the summer window....
Yes I'm aware of that but I feel we need another top forward and a creative midfield player too. Unfortunately I think Mendy will soon be finished, there are only so many long term injuries the body can take. KDB and stones are now injury prone with Jesus not far behind.
Could be much worse. Thought it was gonna be Kev's knee again.Pep says that John Stones and Kevin de Bruyne have muscular injuries!
“When you play 25 games in 93 days it is a physiological issue. We do not have time to let players recover."
That's not so bad ?

Not a great performance but showed good character there.
