Match Thread | Bournemouth vs Man City (02/03/19)

We haven't looked right for a few games now. Maybe Silva will improve with KdB off, no idea why but they have both been off their games lately.

After a good start we failed to score again, Silva probably with the best chance again too. Then we lost some rhythm. Hopefully Bernardo's drive more centrally will help. And with Jesus on the bench at least we can go two up top or mix things up.

Key will be to fly out of the blocks second half and catch them out.

we need to start shooting from outside the box instead of trying to walk it in but we will b fine after a pep talk

We have the ball, all the time, are playing really well, so the oppo defend their 6 yard box, it's a lottery in there.

But if we shoot, they have to come out to block us, or one will likely go in. So then spaces are likely to open up.

I don't understand why we don't get this. It's not Pep. Barca & Bayern would shoot.

Really hope Mahrez can win this for us could be the making of him. Although think with this bus parking Sane would have been preferable.

Picking up injuries can happen anytime but at the vital part of the season now we have three key players out...

 

[Afterthefact]

Hate to see Kev injured. My favourite player but thankfully this will put an end to this 3 central mid/1 winger "experiment"

I feel like pep’s substitution doesn’t reflect that unfortunately

Whats happening blues??, just got in from work, kev fucked again??

Hamstring, had to come off. Bournemouth parking a bus; we’ve had all the possession.

 

[bluedaze]

Keep the faith blues. Big second half coming up. Get well soon Kev

 

[blueinsa]

Our attack just looks clueless at how to overcome a deep defence of late. Not a good sign, every game is a slog.

Based on what because our goals for column says completely different im afraid unless of course a 1-0 against West Ham has suddenly turned all our players shit?

 

[BlueMedic]

Always tough when a team plays this defensive and deep.

They have 10 men defending all the time, never going to be easy to break that down - but we need to find a way.

Mahrez adds something different with his willingness to shoot from distance, about time one goes in I reckon.

Plenty of time to get a goal.
