Bournemouth (A) | Post Match Thread

But the crickets on at the same time?!?
Not on my tv ; )
I used to play cricket when I was younger at a pretty good standard, had a trial for Lancashire boys.
But I can't watch......I do watch the ashes though.
 
Didn't think we were that good or that bad really, just clinical in the first half and that gave us a buffer in the second half.

Our discipline in the last 30 mins is shocking these days and Bournemouth could have easily made it nervy with better finishing.

Can't remember the last time we were good for a whole game or won both halves of a league match. Before the World Cup?

Don't think we've adapted to the 5 subs rule either. Shape of the team always goes to shit after more than 3 subs.

Lewis good. Ake good. Foden good. Perrone good. Pleased for Haaland. Phillips a real worry - doesn't look anywhere near ready.
 
Three points and a nice boost to the GD.

There was an element of luck to three of our goals but on the balance of play we deserved the win.

Actually thought we played better against Forest and could've easily been 3-0 up at HT there but that's football.

Second half was disjointed but to be expected with all the changes.

Rodri getting a much needed rest was a bonus.
 
Good win.

I have been a bit critical of Pep use of substitutions,or lack of.

5 Subs killed the home Derby where we looked like scoring 7,8, goals against the Rags, before he subbed all the best players letting the fuckers save face and some respectability escaping with an unlikely 6-3 defeat. When 8-0 looked more likely.

Today after our 4th goal i knew it was going to be Derby 2.0,,it was game over at that point to be fair.

Yet again after dominating we went to shit,a bit like the Derby.

My thinking now is maybe Pep has zero trust in any the fringe players to make Subs in tight games.He literally needs us to be 4,5,6, goals up before he can trust making major changes.And to be fair such is the drop off you can see why.

Our depth is a myth.
