Bournemouth (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

[wolviedinho]

Not having wasteful wingers but players who assist was a step in the right direction.

Long may it continue. Sav and bobb should not be starting.

Cherki with 2 simple assists and Foden tenacity led to the 3rd.

 

[BluestBlue]

Not sure he got it wrong, we were just very good and have better players.

Really impressed by how they sold 3 of their starting defenders in the summer, replaced them for less, and are now better for it. Impressed by their approach today also - if we hadn't been quite so good we'd easily have lost that.

Anytime that tries to play man mark us is practically obliging to tactical suicide. It’s the easiest way to make us feel confident. It was literally the only few games we played well last season, Villa did this and it backfired. You can’t leave Haaland 1v1 and give players like Foden space in the pockets

I'm still fuming over the two handball shouts in quick succession the rag twat didn't look at but just casually waved away.

I don't think either was a handball to be honest. Ref was still shit though.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

Didn’t realise that Bournemouth were above us going into the game, just shows how good they’ve been and how good that individual game was for us.

That’s why we love football, the underdog can prevail ;-)

 

[bluemanchester]

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

I had a 2 hour journey home btw

5k ffs. Don't go on countdown or anything that requires vision;-)

 

[argyle]

Ps. Keep savio the fuck away from this team...

People said the same about Nunes and he's playing well.

At the time they looked like they were and he just waved them away, to be fair I haven't seen the replay and my eyes were bulging in fury at the time ;-)

 

[come-on-barney]

Just got back, thought Pep got the lineup and tactics spot on today. Great to us play on the transition. Haaland unplayable. Nico G pulling the strings and orchestrating the side, excellent. Nunes played very well, and even got a few shouts out from the crowd, Cherki is going to be some player. NOR was solid and a good goal. Pep’s building again folks :)

 

[simon23]

Anyone spot Nico G do the Bernardo spin move where he just turns in circles but somehow manages to lose the player trying to get the ball off him...he has definitely got that off of Bernardo!

And if either had been given against us, you'd be fuming! Neither were penalties.

 

[kurious oranj]

English is my first language, but what do you mean by ,

"Savinho just do one"

I get you are not being complimentary.

Do one means get lost/fuck off/piss off/go away

Fuck me I didn't know Stephen Fry was a member :)

One was reviewed, don't think Taylor could see what it hit from his position. VAR looked at it and the decision was correct imho, as it deflected up off his knee/thigh onto the arm. Had it hit his arm directly VAR would have sent Taylor to review it.

 

[Franny 1234]

Taylor how’s your bank account doing?

I don't think it's down to payments
But it's definitely down to a dislike of things in Blue from Manchester.
Its not as if we have battered his Altrincham each time we play them.
Maybe there's another reason?

 

[Franny 1234]

First time this season we've performed good in both half's against a decent Bournemouth side to.
Loads of positives to take from today midfield looked great and that's without Rodri. Well deserved 3 points CTID

 

[Gingers Dad]

Ps. Keep savio the fuck away from this team...

Is that really what you took from the game? Give it a rest

 

[Gingers Dad]

The pile on from the ‘fans’ is Embarrasing. Nunes had the same treatment and now he’s having his name sang.

I wouldn't bother. Haters just need to hate

 

[JewelZee]

We can only play that though, if the opposition are high, most sit along the edge of the area, so we need a different plan than we've had. Iraola played to our strengths today, and we took them.

We might be able to catch the dippers next week, as they might do similar.

Not trying to be critical, just realistic.

Cherki unlocked a packed Swansea with Marmoush and did the same today with Doku and Phil when Bournemouth were all back. Doku played it a shade too heavy or Foden would have had a great look from the 6...

 

[Gingers Dad]

Can I just check that other than the fabulous fans of the South Stand - if anyone else was at the game? From the Colin Bell we could hear Earling breathing - Jesus what an embarrassing fan performance. Worse than Everton, despite some good football too…maybe I should stick to Away games only and boycott the Etihad…

Sorry
