Match Thread | Bournemouth vs. Man City (02/11/24)

[I'm Blue]

Maybe we can order some inhalers.

 

[K-Bo]

Gundo-kovacic-Bernardo as midfield three has been rancid in every game used.

Wow that was bad. Ake is MILES off it. Better with the young lad on who looks good enough. If any of the subs are fit enough we’ve got to change it early. Gundo pointless. Get savio/Doku on the right and Bernardo/foden central. We’re just too many players short and have no rhythm what so ever. If we can grind a draw out today and possibly next week then I think I’d take that atm

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

They all just look fucked. It’s entirely understandable after the last like 5 years of world domination.

They’re allowed to be knackered this year. Nobody in particular to blame, just is what it is.

If we don’t win the league / any trophy this season then I won’t be blaming anyone. If the murderers or Arsenal win it then whatever, it is what it is, fair enough and we crack on next season after a long summer off.

It’s not for want of trying, they’re not bloody robots.

Some people on this thread are fucking entitled Johnny-come-lately bandwagon jumping dickheads and are not real blues.

 

[SebastianBlue]

thats never happening as he's english and therefor is never to blame according to everyone here

 

[Rammy Blue]

Pretty astonishing, but not surprising, how bad some of our players are currently playing.

Gundo woeful, Bernie just too slow nowadays, Phil just something not right.

Painful to watch.

 

[citytill1die84]

That's the worst I've seen us play under pep. It's not just the scoreline, but the football...were so fucking boring.

Not even close.

 

[ufo]

Get some fresh legs and we got a game
come on city we can do this

 

[Sibierskii]

What’s the point of Bernardo playing? He gets the ball in advanced positions with Haaland and Foden ahead, but always slows down to show off some skills and pass backward!

He’s been shite for ages. Never seems to come in for any criticism though.

 

[SWPISHOME]

I don’t think it was a mistake. The mistake is playing him in so many games

Also missing Rodri to give Gundogan license to get further forward is a problem, He's been asked to do a different role than when he was here previously, Gundogan is at his best being the midfield runner going in behind Haaland with his movement.

We are in a period with injuries and fatigue that we just have to try and see it out and grind out results.
