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

[Nellies left peg]

Could do worse than put Lewis on instead of Gundogan….or even McAtee…some quick feet are required….same pattern as most of the season….we won’t always get away with conceding first.

Lewis is more of a midfielder than a right back and our midfield needs legs

Would just love a shot on target atm

Gundo sad but way past it

Was thinking the same in recent weeks… that said he’ll likely come alive at the business end of the season.

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.

This is quite easy for bournemouth and Pep must see it.

Bournemouth build on a wing (say left wing) with a triangle of 3, then we match them with our RB, RW and RF (Bernie), then they pass it back to the CB, triggering Bernie to press them, quickly get by him and now have 3v2.


Such easy wing play, and awful pressing by us.

We won’t though.

Trust me mate, we’ll be fine

He literally said "Same shit every week". Clearly not just talking about today was he.

Any response yet? @East Level 2

 

[pudge]

we are playing ok, we will win this.

More chance of Jennifer Lopez joining in when I'm hanging out the back of Jessica Alba

 

[WorthlessPoster]

To put it mildly, we've been dreadful.
BUT.....

We are only one behind. There's 45 minutes to go. We can only improve, shirley? I have to believe that.

Nothing lost so far. Come On City!

Gosh some actual…sense

They are knackered. Thats it. Mentally and physically.

I still think come Jan…VROOM.

We have that world club championship in summer, so no rest again.

Wasn't brought back to start every game, Kovacic shouldn't even be playing every game. Neither are starters.

Injuries and not buying a starting midfielder has cost us.
