I'm tired of commentators complimenting teams like this on their 'resolute' defending. This is absolute mediocrity from Bournemouth - a League 2 team can also defend like this, it isn't difficult to play a low block.
When are managers going to learn playing like this gets them absolutely nowhere?
People are going to say "do you expect them to go toe to toe with us?" No, but those demonstrably aren't the only two options.
I'd be embarrassed if my team played like that, not because they are shit, but because they look like cowards and stupid cowards at that. They will get nothing from this game, so what have they achieved? I just absolutely don't get it - it's total dross.
