City v Bournemouth post match

[Silva_Spell]

Ederson: 7 - Good catch, couple of good saves
Danilo: 7 - Not excellent but got up and down without tiring
Kompany: 7 - Steady enough
Ota: 7 - Won alot of duels but his inconsiderate pass to Dinho set up Bournemouth to hit post
Bendy: 7 - Some dangerous crosses. Gonna be huge for us.
Dinho: 6 - Caught in possession too often.
Silva: 7.5 - When we were on top he was the one dictating the play
KDB: 7 - Worked the ball pretty well, not at his best tho.
Bernardo: 7 - Spells of real quality. Think he'll get better and better as he acclimatises
Sterling: 6 - Some intelligent off the ball runs but poor on the ball throughout. Extra point for the goal even tho it was lucky. Surprised he wasn't subbed before then
G.Jesus: 8 - Everything he did he did well. Great pass from Silva for the goal but it was all Jesus

Things even themselves out mate. Pep has just called the FA out albeit indirectly about the incidents and good on him. He even suggested that no fans should be allowed in the stadium, that reply came after the sky sports interviewer tried to be a smartarse. I think we'll see a more hard-core pep this year, last year was a massive eye opener for him. He means business this season.

no they don't, otherwise we'd have won something last season. Instead of which, we were screwed out of 3 of them.

Positives: lots of character. Effort until last second. Brief patches of sublime football. Two great goals. Dominated possession and scoring chances.

I remember last season Bournemouth going 3-0 up at home to Arsenal and playing them off the pitch. We started slowly but won a game where we up against the odds

Hands up if you are impressed with Ederson? Mine is up high.Two crucial saves, a few good catches under pressure.

Count me in.
Been one of his fiercest critics so far but two good crucial saves today and a clean take from a very difficult cross bodes well for the future.

Against the dippers would anyone be against playing Walker and Mendy as fullbacks and putting Danilo in the midfield holding role ....Dinho looks a yard slower this season

Can't beat a winning last minute goal can you!

especially when they time wasted from ko!

i also get a kick out of knowing the anguish the fans of other title challengers must have felt :)

 

[vmsuhail]

I'm not convinced this type of football will win the prem, prove me wrong City .....

Second your opinion. A clinical striker could well make a difference though as we are creating chances plenty.

18 seconds, the bloke in the black shirt is easy in the pep won't succeed at city brigade. Boring bastard.

 

[Ghandi's Flip Flops]

Great win.Good first half,not so second.
Good to see time wasting getting punished.

Excellent point BB. They wasted 2 mins celebrating their goal, Ake was down injured in the first half for about 3 mins, our equaliser took 1 min and then there was the constant time wasting by them at goal kicks & throws. Only 2 mins added in the first half was a joke but until refs book a keeper or defender early doors, we'll get games where the ball is only in play for 45 out of the 90.
