Makes a big difference when the opposition don’t play this low block shit this is what’s making the game boring can’t beat two teams having a go makes it more entertaining.

 

[big gaz]

Again I mean his touch, no problem with his shooting.

Winky face mate after comment, come on lol

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

Great block before the end of the half there but he was caught too far forward when Bournemouth got their best chance and Evanilson hit the post.

 

[Haaland94]

Nunes like prime Kyle Walker tonight. Incredible defensively.

Kova is our player of the season, IMO.

Akanji shaky defensively.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

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

It’s quite odd that they’ve played this way. They must have seen how much we’ve been struggling against 11 men behind the ball and quick counters. I can’t believe how open they are. They’re doing us a massive favour at the moment.

 

[Beanhead]

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

That’s my point. He’s versatile and just a good mobile footballer. Something we lack.

 

[AliAdel]

Swap him for Alvarez.

Just watch the first minute here and you can tell that we sold the wrong striker.

 

[wolviedinho]

The match sums up the season.

The good and bad and everything in between.

The slow play, the misses, the suicidal defending. The passing about and causing issues.

Anyway, plenty of work to be done but brilliant for Kev and hopefully that’s the champions league sorted.

 

[CumbriaCity]

Tonight has confirmed for me that Doku should be a 60th minute sub and not a starter until he shows signs of vast improvement. Marmoush should have that starting spot nailed down next season

 

[wolviedinho]

Wanted to go. Nothing you can do about that.

 

[Gabriel]

Jolly good half and fair play to Bournemouth for making it so open.
When we’re in our pomp like this, you appreciate just how good these players are together. Their movement and running off the ball and their shifting of the opponent is a joy.

Great block before the end of the half there but he was caught too far forward when Bournemouth got their best chance and Evanilson hit the post.

Akanji was nowhere near Evanilson. Nunes stopped several dangerous 1 on 1s.

 

[jimharri]

Does that miss rank up there alongside Sterling's at Burnley and Lyon?

 

[Nellies left peg]

Bernie seems to have a bundle energy tonight, point to prove after his comments perhaps?

 

[paulsimpson]

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...

He's tiring a lot for sure but has looked like his old self in the first half.

 

[Kun Blue]

Instead of spending 100m on a fullback or centre half. Surely it would make more sense just to clone Gvardiol? Absolute immense again.

 

[Sky Blue]

Double 200% like.

Another Pep final brain drain strikes again.

He was fucking ill.

Makes a difference when we actually play it quickly instead of allowing the opposition to set back by being so slow, Kova and Gundo have been excellent at that, missed them big time in the cup final.

 

[Beanhead]

Great half. Looked like City of (not too) old.

 

[mcfc64]

SKY in funeral mode !
