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

[5 Hit Gibbon]

Do you mean madness.

It's one step beyond anything I was expecting this season!

 

[SamBlue]

If he manages somehow to persuade this team to play with 50% more energy in the second half we might have a chance. I don't see it, but even 1% of hope will linger until May.

 

[deano ou812]

One week it's all wingers, next it's wingless. It must be difficult to play in a team when the manager is unsure of how we are trying to play.

He who hesitates is lost

 

[stan bowles]

The misses were bad but that pass from plug and his pathetic defending at the far post was disgusting. He’s utter shit that lad and I hate seeing him in a city shirt

The misses were "bad" ? Understatement of the season.

 

[come-on-barney]

2 or 3 players off it you can blame on form but the whole team?

Something very, very wrong

It’s not the players or the team

 

[WestGorton]

Yeah it seems that way. Knows we should have put our chances away and annoyed we haven't. Maybe he has a few bob on us!?

Bizarre but I think he likes us. Maybe Taylor marrying his daughter is a factor!

 

[BigJoe#1]

Not so sure I fancy facing Forest in the semi. May be better off turning it in now.

It seems like they're ready for the beach, never mind the CWC.

 

[red 2 hats]

I might stay on the concourse for ninety minutes

Think I'll join you

 

[I'm Blue]

I hope Fernandinho is joining the back room staff in the summer.
Cos performances like that need a bollocking at halftime.
Pep’s too nice to scream and shout so hopefully Fernandinho can oblige by telling them how shit, lazy and appalling they’ve been.
I get Pep not wanting to scream and shout incase the players really down tools, if they haven’t already, but these players need a rocket up their arses cos this kind of performance is quite simply unacceptable.

Very good.

I agree but what? More importantly how do we fix it?

 

[VOOMER]

Well in our house

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Really???
The keeper fucking HELD IT!!!!
Shit pen

That's what I said, was a good save.

 

[paulsimpson]

The answer is easy

the players on the bench change nothing.....who on the bench replaces Gundo and KDB or Bernardo?

Nico OReilly? !!!! he is a young talent but he aint changing anything in this team....the players outwide dont sort the issues out which are in the centre of the pitch.

Grealish - what does he add centrally?

Marmoush doesnt change anything in the midfield...he just ends up isolated as our midfield dnt provide anything

Lewis just gets bullied

Lewis in midfield would be better than what we have right now

 

[Fordyboy46]

This will stay 1-0

 

[come-on-barney]

That's what I said, was a good save.

Give over

 

[willipp]

Everything about that half just sums up this season. Sloppy and shite across the whole team.

Nico O'Reilly gives us an ariel threat and more pace.

Some people aren’t watching the same shit show as me !

 

[robbieh]

Or we clear out and get fresh players for who the ideas are new

Don't think playing the style that won us 4 on the bounce is likely to be successful even with new talent. Other teams have changed the way they play against us.
