Bournemouth PL (H) | Man of the Match

[TheBlueCat]

So many great performances.
Those that caught the eye were Nico O, Cherki, Gvardiol and obviously two goal Erling. Nico G was outstanding.
Special mention for Foden. So much effort, tremendous quality and a different player this season. Much more responsibility, playing centrally and deeper. What a player. Already linking with Cherki and this will get better. Beat a good team today..

 

[spiny]

Of course Haaland and Cherki grab the headlines. Lots of other good performances but my vote is for O'Reilly who has established himself amongst big signings as a City academy youngster. We seem to win with him playing which cannot be coincidence. His goal was a bonus today.

 

[Cityfan]

I gave it to Haaland as he was very good as well as scoring twice, but it was basically a very good team performance. Nico G and Foden were both excellent in midfield and Bernardo more than decent .Cherki and Doku were excellent supporting Haaland. Both full backs were very very good and our central defence solid.
Good match really.

 

[TFC]

Honorable mention for Phil too, gets a lot of undue slaggings but I thought he was great today. Worked his bollocks off. Him, Cherki and the big lad could be quite something together I reckon if we can get them all firing

 

[Ilovehappyendings]

Nunes for me. He was on course to be the next Kalvin Phillips. And has kept his head down and learnt a new position. Fair play to him. He can let Semenyo out of his pocket now before the coach leaves...

 

[cmcm0808]

Went for Haarland but it was great seeing Nunes prove the doubters wrong again.

 

[mattcity5]

I'm one of 2 who voted for Bernardo.

There were about 7 I could have voted for and on a different day I'd make a different choice, but he showed exactly how and why he is still important for us this season. Just a superbly intelligent player who helps other players perform better and always gives his all.

 

[cleavers]

Tell you what mate @kun was watching Foden closely at the game today, and he did put some miles in out there tbf!

Phil's performance will go under the radar, along with Bernardo, both did so much running today, they didn't stand out individually, but they were everywhere.

 

[Franny 1234]

What a great place to be in.
When the big guy gets a brace but isn't running away with the votes and rightly so.
cherki,Nunes,Oreilly all had very good games and deserves the votes there getting.

 

[Sam69]

Nico Gonzalez.

 

[Martinblueboy]

Cherki motm for me, but very honourable mentions to Nunes, Nico G, Phil and Nico O'R. In fact pretty much the whole team played well.

 

[Eaststander1]

After last week’s vote I did for the O’Reilly cameo it’d be rude not to give it for Savio’s today, it took some doing but it was worse than O’Reilly’s last week.

Wow.

He’s seriously shite.

Yep, and he's not improving either!

 

[69FACUPfinal]

There’s another Rayan in the academy with many admirers, Rayan McAidoo. Must be a policy: recruit Rayans.

If I was back to my offspring producing years I'd really like RaeAnne as a girls name :-) Piece of useless info there BTW, unlike yours - so we've 3 Rayan's? Wowsers!!!

 

[Eaststander1]

Tell you what mate @kun was watching Foden closely at the game today, and he did put some miles in out there tbf!

Yep, Foden worked hard, was always prominent ....

 

[HypnoticBlue]

Went for the big lad as goals win games, but Cherki, Nico G, Nunes and O’Reilly were all good, backed up by Foden & Silva.
I note 3 voted for Savinho I’d love to know his pass success rate, its gotta be something like 15-20%, I struggle to justify a position in the squad for him.
Good overall performance and 3 points, despite Taylor’s best efforts.

 

[herrock]

Apart from a couple of brain fog passes, Nunes had a great game and had Semenyo in his pocket .

 

[Saddleworth2]

I looked down the starting eleven and for the first time in ages thought any one of the out players could be motm with some justification. They really were all very good.
Phil, Bernie, both Nico’s, Nunes, Josko, Cherki, Erling….
I need to watch the game again.

 

[BringBackSwales]

I am looking forward to Nico G and Rodri in the same team from the start, midfield control would be immense

Has the letter D offended you? You mentioned everyone apart from Dias Doku and Donarumma

 

[cleavers]

Donnarumma would have had a clean sheet had the yellow-clad clueless impostor with the whistle done his job along with the useless collection in the VAR shed

Much as I can't stand Taylor, there is no way he would see that from where he was, and that is what VAR is there for, even the views shown on TV are not very clear, but the none penalty is all on them for me.
