Come on lads

 

[Eccles Blue]

Looks and sounds like Kev might just be morale support today.

If so good for KDB. Keep the team spirit up. :-)

Rico plays midfield and “covers” the RB position when given the time to get back.

Don’t hate the player, hate the game (he is asked to play!).

What he's asked to do is impossible, really. I don't see the player, anywhere, who could do both positions. That said, I do think it's not just the instructions from Pep. I strongly suspect that his natural inclination is to drift into midfield. Time and again, also, I'm astonished at how often I see him bustling in the box. Not around the box, but well into it. I think, “Well, that's great, lad, but how exactly are you going to get back into a right back position if they break?”

Scrape a win this afternoon, and we'll be 8 points (effectively 9, with the GD) ahead of the Tarqs. Yes it's only 25% of the way through the season. But I'll be disappointed (even with all the injuries) if we finish behind them.

Agree……playing out of position doesn’t help

Feeling a lot more confident now I've seen our team

Kdb and savio coming off the bench as well

Little bit of a long time.

I love our manager but he doesn't half talk in riddles.

Part of his greatness.

Always hate the long away games, against underdogs, with a record on the line.

Bournemouth have been playing very well and scoring on the break, two things that can hurt us.

A win would be a very good result today, because it’s clear we are the walking wounded, who have not been lighting up anyone’s life recently.

COME ON, CITY!!!

Any team can score on the break against us……..need an early goal to settle nerves and then a couple more before halftime

I hope so. I don't want to see him anywhere near the playing side of the touchline today. Don't rush him back.
