[Nellies left peg]

we would have won the cup final with nunes in the team 1000000%

And Kovacic

 

[BlueBlood81]

Richard’s on that we buy any car ad is cringy as fuck

 

[Dubai Blue]

Much better intensity tonight. Helps that we're up against a team that actually wants to play rather than sit 10 men behind the ball!

 

[sh249]

Played well. Probably the shape that suits us best at the moment, we’ve been miles better at moving the ball through the middle of the pitch.

 

[Ajm1985]

Pribably worth the money we paid for him .

Easy and hopefully he pulls it together next season. Not sure he's been fully fit at all this season but he definitely has lacked awareness as well

 

[elbearos]

Good half, and credit to Bournemouth , not parking the bus

 

[YatesA]

Bournemouth are there for the taking. They don't look up for it. Need to come up fast and put this to bed

 

[mosssideblue]

2 nil good HT result but no time for sentiment here. KDB in top 3 players in our history but it's like playing with 10 men, so sad to see him struggle like this. Needs subbing at 50 mins for his rightful ovation...

You’ll catch a few with that

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Best performance for a while. I think we will be back challenging next season. If this is a slump, I’ll take it for what lead up to it.

...one swallow doth not a summer make !!

 

[Paul1970]

I think big erls confidence is shot atm and he looks nervous as fuck infront of goal . One goal and he will be back but tonight he has run all over the pitch and is putting a shift in .

 

[Blue Abroad]

Truth is the wonder goal has papered over the cracks so far

Reckon that was Pep’s post-match comment to the players after Vinny’s goal against Leicester, just with a “so important” stuck in there somewhere.

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Nunes is a great player. People that disagree are clowns/

Nunes definitely a decent squad option but not a starter. But 100% keep

 

[Legal Alien]

Good half City!

We rode our luck at the back, but we're in control and should be out of sight really.

An amazing goal from Omah!

I still can't believe Kev missed that chance, wow!

Keep it going blues!

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Watch haalands reaction. That should put fire in his belly

 

[69FACUPfinal]

And Kovacic

Double 200% like.

Another Pep final brain drain strikes again.

 

[CambridgeExileBlue]

He is terrible and should never be near our first 11

Better than in the final by a mile.

 

[RayCTID]

A good half. Just a little sloppy but we managed to ride it out

 

[M Gaudino]

we would have won the cup final with nunes in the team 1000000%

i like akanji when hes fit but he aint a right back. so many times in the cup final he was up the pitvh trying to play triangles in the final third did my head in why was nunes benched at all these last few weeks

 

[Dax777]

matheus nunes is a fine fine full back and we absolutely have to keep him

Im not going to bring up old wounds. I swear! Im not. But how could you have Pep!?! :(

 

[phargrave]

Some good stuff but some poor passing.
Akanji, Dias & gvadiol are all pissed. Thank god Nunes is on it tonight.

Haaland needs to start moving he’s stuck to the ground. Poor so far

Should be 3 or 4 here

Agree Haaland needs to get more involved
