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

[Pedestrian]

I will take that at HT. Pathetic. Same shit every week

Log out then bang your head against a wall.

 

[Haaland94]

Right, if fit, we need both Jeremy and Savinho on. Nunes to the middle. Gundo off.

 

[SamBlue]

The worst half of football Pep had with us, absolute crap. We are just getting worse and worse as the season is progressing. We have been so poor this half it will be impossible not to improve in the second one, but it is just not sustainable to keep coming from behind game after game.
It seems to me he put all eggs in one basket and that basket has fallen to the ground now.

 

[Twisted-wheel]

Better off with 10 men than having Gundo on the pitch.

Serious, like serious

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Creating fuck all
Wide open on transition
Opposition cutting through midfield with ease.
Can't control the game.

Pep needs to address this at half time.

Gundo HAS to come off. Just give him till after the international break to sort his head/legs/passing out.

Kova. Nunes. Mcatee

Foden. Erl. Bernie


For the Second half.

Another half of football without a shot on target.
This is probably the worst squad we've had since Peps first season.

Injuries, lack of options, playing ilkays twin brother who has osteoporosis, many reasons, but stylistically this season so far is just different from previous seasons. There's no endeavour. I'm annoyed.

Lucky to go in just 1 down. Awful once again. It's incredibly easy to create an overload against our back 4. it's remarkable how we have persisted with the major flaw, there's no way Pep cannot see it, every team creates multiple glorious chances against us. Matter of time before it costs us dearly and it won't be a one off, it will continue to happen.

Going forward we've created nothing other than Nunes getting a few decent balls across. Foden has been useless in and out of possession, bernardo looked like he had ran a marathon after the first minute and I've no idea where gundo has been watching that half from as he wasn't on the pitch.

Need a rocket up the arse and a major shift second half otherwise we'll be comfortably beat here, seen nothing to suggest we'll see that though. And it's nothing to do with injuries so let's get rid of that excuse before it's used.

 

[Bluemoonie92]

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

Yes

 

[Crooked_rain]

We have been pretty dire all season.
We played better midweek. More movement and fluidity.
Haaland up front makes us predictable and easy to stop

The last sentence in nonsense. Look what we've won since he's been here.

The problem today is we have no legs in the middle. Haaland is being left against 3 defenders because Bournemouth are OK with letting us knock the ball about in front because the likes of Gundo and Bernado have no pace to go past anyone.

 

[ProofMCFC]

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.

Who else is there? And don’t kevin we all knew he wasn’t playing any serious part of the season.
