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

The final third has become our worst third. Bournemouth shouldn’t still be in the game but they are.

Every game this season bar a few. Should be way out in front with the level of dominance on show.

Happy with that first half. Stay disciplined, more goals to follow. And a clean sheet hopefully.

 

[heslops barnet]

Yes because otherwise we know the script.

1/3?

 

[ThreesKompany]

Game is screaming for De Bruyne.

 

[MCFC1993]

Good first half, just need that 2nd goal.

Fair play to Bournemouth though, they play out from the back quite nicely.

 

[WickyWain]

Is John Stones playing the false 10 position?

Yes




And false 9, false 8, false 7...

I really don't think we play to Haalands strengths.

He's up there, walking about, clearly told not to move and we don't put crosses is or play quick balls into his feet for him to run on to. He's constantly feeding off scraps despite the dominant possession.

I was watching the Overlap podcast this week and Rooney was on it and talking g about that's how Fergue wanted him to play but he got bored and so drifted further in field.

Considering we're not helping Haaland, I hope he doesn't get bored and move on to actually play football.

 

[I'm Blue]

Happy with that.
Playing well.
Just need another goal or 3

 

[super_city_si]

Good half. Bournemouth should tire. But we need to start scoring.

1/3?

That's usually Dips after going 1 zero down.
