Bournemouth (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

I thought we were very good tonight. Their goal was a blot on the night and really frustrating cause I thought Nunes had had a great game up to that point.

Bernardo motm for me, marmoush superb and what a goal, Nunes and Gvadiol superb at full back, really good performances.

That and the red card. Both due to really poor back passes. Pleased (very) about the result, but those two passes say quite a lot about the season and its shortcomings. Also have you noticed how teams have taken to the long throw into the box against us? They've clocked that we're curiously weak in the air in defence.
All that needs sorting badly during the close season.
Considerably better in midfield and up front than on Saturday.

omar great
Kova great
Nunes great Dias was slow to react

Kev thanks for everything

Defence and Håland needs to prepare for next season and focus.

Great to see Godri and Bobb again

 

[roach3]

Where have those ten years gone?
Can’t believe he’s going
Thanks for everything Kev

I thought we defended it ok today to be fair. Their only chances came from our mistakes. The one in the first half where they hit the post was horrendous from Akanji. Then the red was totally on us and the goal sadly (thought he had a great game) was so typical of Nunes.

Don’t want to dwell on the bad as there was so much good tonight.

The Bournemouth manager always seems to come across well when he's doing the media stuff.

 

[Blue2202]

A red card just over the halfway line stopping a goal scoring opportunity.
Yawn.
3 days after Haaland is stopped from one 20 yards from goal.
I rest my case you fucking WUMS

if only Kova could have chased back and swan dived forward to palm the ball away as we all now know this wouldn’t have been worthy of a red card.

(Yes, I know sarcasm is the lowest form of wit)

 

[vomit]

Imagine the Pep send off just around the corner…

RAG!

 

[xgorton]

Just get the win at Fulham then breath.

We don't need to win.

 

[borassic]

Must be me I never get sentimental about any players! I'll miss the peak Kdb though and wish him well in Italy

Same here. Will miss him but his time is finished here as we’ve seen on the pitch the last few weeks. Maybe I’m still scarred from when SWP left us to go to Chelsea. That fucking fucked me up!

 

[bennyboy]

Great entertainment.
Kevs miss typical City.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Huge result.

Didn’t reckon much to that Huijsen.

 

[David White]

Decent enough performance overall but some very rigid, slow play again for long spells. I don’t mind it as much if it’s for game management and we occasionally go for the throat at pace. There must have been 10 times tonight when a forward ball was on and either nobody (mainly Haaland) ran for it or we chose to stop, turn and play inside.

A sublime strike out of nothing from Marmoush and a great run and finish by Nico obviously the stand out moments.

Great to send Kev off well and monumental to have Rodri back. You could feel the place lift and flood full of positivity when he started warming up.

Lots of work to do and lots of things to figure out. Maybe they’ll be allowed to take a risk or two when he’s back on the pitch. As soon as he came on he was organising. Wonderful to see.

I can’t help but think we’ve seen the last of a few of those lads tonight in that game (Fulham apart).

Great win, as they all are. Let’s cement the best finish possible this weekend and move on to next year.

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

Haaland looks lost at the moment. I just hope it's a touch of rustiness and bangs an hatrick in on Sunday. Cheerio Kev, you really were The best!

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Ah man, what a game and the perfect send off for kev. Atmosphere matched the occasion

 

[Saddleworth2]

Lots of positives in that performance. It was fantastic to see Rodri back pulling the strings like he had never been away. Great sendoff for Kev and sounded a great atmosphere.

 

[HypnoticBlue]

Tell you what i want the boys in blue song at my funeral.Its timeless.
Great win.
KDB we love you.

Still got that tune on 7” vinyl, about time it had a remix .

Still got that tune on 7” vinyl, about time it had a remix .

Me too.Funky city on the flip side:-)

 

[Zenmanc]

We don't need to win.

And if even half of our starters play with that limp approach we won't take a single point.

 

[fulabeer]

Well that was a match with a bit of everything!
A thunder rocket (Marmoush)
A cluster fuck (Debruyne) "Ok the ball did bobble!"
A red card (Kovacic) "Typical City, we just cannot do things the easy way can we?"
A red card (Cook) "Thank fuck for that!"
Rodri back
Bobb back
A vital win
A legend leaves...
