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

[Immel & Dibble]

A cure for insomnia

Yes sometimes some games have that feel to them. To be honest we've been getting away with it for a few weeks now. Who knows though, a fluke, a worldie, anything to get us back in it and it could lift us. Our problem is we always look like shipping another ourselves.

Yep, but we're also looking like a shadow of previous Pep's sides even though we're somehow still top of the league. You couldn't name one City player who is consistently putting in good performances, they've all been bang average.
Lose this game and I can see us going on a bad run before the international break

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

When you carry a small squad like ours that's intended to be full of quality and rotation then you should expect to play.

Unfortunately part of having a small squad is that you can't afford to have any passengers, and at the moment he's one.

 

[JULES]

we are playing ok, we will win this.

Can’t see big erl coming out second half

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

You didn't watch much of us around Christmas 2016 or that 1-0 defeat at Villa last season then.

 

[Jam Tomorrow]

Just back home, are we as bad as the comments seem to suggest ?

 

[117 M34]

Far too slow.
Mcatee on for gundo

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Crazy how a team can look so outnumbered in attack and defence. Really is sad watching gundogan atm.

We need more movement and speed (thought/pass/runs) in the middle, don't know what we've got on the bench to create that, but that's what's needed.

They're organised so pull them around a bit and create the spaces.

That half we had zero attacking threat. That needs to change.
