Bournemouth (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

First half was a great watch both teams trying to play football. Think they have some decent young players. As Pep said in his radio presser our quality in the middle of the park and Erl decided the game. Watching Gonzalez today just makes me question why he didn’t get picked last year. The lads getting better by the game. Cherki has an impudence and makes the game look easy. Nunes is the most improved player in the league I’m staggered by how he managed Semenya today.
 
No easy games in this league and that was a job well done against a decent side.
Not bothered what other teams are up to as this squad if we keep decently fit can be there at the end.
 
Bournmouth are a good team and played like Spurs did against us at the start with a 5 man high press - but CIty worked out a way of passing out from the back which kind of put the kybosh on their press.
Sadly Anthony Taylor then showed his true colours with a shocking refereeing performance. He normally allows all in Wrestling - and to be fair(ish) he alows us to do the same - but not today. We did a foul it was a yellow, we won the ball fairly and it was a foul. They did the same and nowt. Then to cap it all, they twice stick their arms out fror crosses and handle but Red Taylor waves it away. Just shocking.
OK, one was knee to hand but really, you can leave your hands hanging around in mid air - not even close to his body.
Cherki, Nico, Foden and Haaland were excellent. Cherki is an outstanding prospect - but Nico cutting inside to parter Nico was outstanding.
Haaland is the best striker I have ever seen. We need to counter attack quickly to give him the best opportunities. 2 well taken goals and a great save denied him a hat trick.

I enjoyed the game today. It was good to watch two teams trying to play football. I thought all of the starting 11 were really good today but standouts were Nico, Cherki, Nunes, Foden, O'Reilly and Haaland. I thought the two full back were excellent.

It might not change but it shows a lack of passion for the team. An outstanding game today with the lads playing against 12 men and 95%of the South Stand are scared of missing the rerun of Strictly Come Dancing.

When the fucking Metrolink is not running through to Altrincham and you have to go the long way round (because of away fans) to catch the No.5 match day bus back to Timperley, then you too would leave before the final whistle.

I only missed 2 minutes of added time by the way,
 
Kudos to Bournemouth they came to play and that made for a great game.

I think the team we put out today is our best team. It has a perfect balance of great defenders and scintillating attackers.

Well played City. Arsenal will be looking over their shoulders from now on!

Our best performance of the season. Napoli was good but they had ten men. You could see the latest Pep team starting to tick. We will be superb after Christmas.

Great match should’ve been 4-1/5-1 to City at very least… Taylor as always being the shyster of a ref…
Awful after match… taxi driver hit two City fans, one in his 70s with heart condition and his son… helped the 70 year old bloke up… the taxi driver sped off… awful…was on road between ashburys and Mary D’s

That sounds horrendous mate. Hope they’re both ok and someone got the number plate.

People have their own reasons but 5K remaining in a 53,000 ground is poor.

I had a 2 hour journey home btw
