2nd half will see the Bournemouth ball pumped into the box and someone to fall over for a penalty.
Watch this space for a meltdown.

First of all it was not a foul and then the bugger issue is how the referee allowed Bournemouth to move the ball back 3-4 meters to help with the freekick. Great refereeing!

Aye didn't see him marking the pitch did you ? and with the new rules on free kick wall it would have made it harder for Wilson

They will get a bollocking at half time and hopefully come out a different team. Walker will not see the end of this game one way or the other

On a plus,Sergio looks better than last week,working harder and defending from the front.

Obviously the goal was taken well too.

David Silva has had a good half. We need to get Aguero involved more as he's looked sharp.

 

[Blu1]

Doesn’t help when he is being exposed by Kev, he’s at least 20 yards away from him consistently, drop back in and it shuts up shop!

All our players seem off today. Your right Kev giving it away far to much too. Not one of our players gets over a 5/10

We need to pack midfield now and control this half. They will be coming at us fast now.

Next goal crucial

It's Otamendi, he is the weak link at the heart of our defence, he can't defend high balls into the box, is rash in tackles, so gives away free kicks and is prone to giving the ball away needlessly.

get out of the sun

hmmm, glad to be ahead at HT but not played that well. Bit worrying about the indecision at the back. Not created much ourselves but been more clinical than last week. Very bad time to concede a goal when we were in cruise mode. I'm sure Pep will sort things out at HT. KDB has not been great, too may loose flicks in midfield not finding their man.

Needless challenge by Laporte ffs .

 

[blueinsa]

It was a foul and an idiotic one at that. Absolutely no need to try and go through him to get the ball. There was no danger.

It was a foul but it happened a good 5 yards closer to the goal than where he took it from.

Is Atkinson playing preferred lies?
