Match Thread | Bournemouth vs. Man City (30/03/25)

[chesterbells]

Really? Bournemouth are pretty much known for their intensity, pressing and fitness. Best pressing team in the country. We will be the team that tires, not them.

We have a much better bench. I think quality will win out. Let’s see.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

We’ve played much better than the league match against them so far.

We’ve just missed gilt edged chances and conceded from their only real attack.

 

[Keeper!]

we are playing this like some sort of warm down practise match ffs

 

[dublin-blue]

Peps gotten too big now. Surely there is someone who has to be putting pressure on him to change it up. This line up hasn't worked and won't work. You may as well experiment with a new tactic than throw a game away with this

 

[Blu1]

What the Fook is our game plan ???

Slow & sideways is all I’m seeing

 

[wolviedinho]

The team badly needs new ideas.

Those long corners of Kev’s are horrible.

 

[TFC]

Seems Pep has learnt absolutely nothing. Keeps doing the same things and is surprised we keep getting the same results

This is my concern going forward. If he's adapting in no way shape or form now, what guarantee do we have that next season is any different? I'd be willing to wager next would be his last season so big fucking decisions to be made

 

[Chippy_boy]

Has Pep lost the plot ? Genuinely?

After about 20 games where we've had to ask that question, you really do have to starting thinking yes, he has. Ludicrous team selections and substitutions, week in, week out.

 

[Alexia_Ko]

Kovacic has been playing well here

 

[WestGorton]

Exactly

 

[frothy]

Harrland has one job to do to justify his wages and he fucked up, he will now be sulking, hope he proves me wrong but he does my fucking head in

 

[Jim Tolmie's Underpants]

Best player on the pitch by far!

 

[Bluemoonie92]

That better be a yellow

 

[Nellies left peg]

Pep is going through the motions. I just cannot for the life of me see why he carries on week on week making the same choices when even the fans can see it’s not working, and this guy is a football genius apparently

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

The tempo of this game is totally wrong for us. The energy of this team is gone both in attack and defence, therefore the team is gone.

It's 30 minutes in and we're out of gas, and they're running around like rabbits!

 

[Tb1981]

There is no point in Pep taking the blame for poor performances then choosing a team that typifies all of the problems that the team has faced over the past 5 months. Really bewildering.

This is the most mundane football we have played under Pep, team just seems apathetic about things.

Fucking show a bit of desire and fight ffs.

Yes
Pep really needs to sort himself out
A lot of this is the players and Txiki fault but he just keeps picking the same shit teams and hoping

 

[Blu1]

Kovacic has been playing well here

Always works hard

 

[SiMCFC]

How much will we get for Gundo, Kova and Kev

We will probably end up paying Kova to play somewhere else as per usual. He'd be the one I'd keep though

 

[Norbert D]

Silva bottling out of challenges.

 

[MMA]

How much will we get for Gundo, Kova and Kev

I'll give you 10 bob and a ten pence mixup..
But I've eaten the flying saucer...
