For the 16 other people in the world playing the FPL Challenge, they've wildly overestimated the volume of blockbuster January signings for this week's gimmick They should let Chalobah being recalled from loan count at least.

Howe mentioned it:

Agree that it's not a disaster, but Bournemouth have beaten or stymied us too often IMO to call it a one-off, or a bad day at the office. We only play them twice or three times a year, thankfully. But that doesn't give me that much comfort.

Same, joke's on the Bournemouth fans. Suckers!

Can we sign Iraola for our coaching staff?

Respectfully, what has this got to do with today? Our first XI is considerably better than theirs. As was our bench. They were better coached and had more intensity. Not a disaster but it's definitely a wasted opportunity, and opens the door for others to apply use a similar blueprint at SJP.

That second goal is annoying. Each possession becomes that much more loaded, as they'll sit back and invite us on to them. Hard to get the ball off and danger if we press too much. Plus time wasting and irritation for our hotheads.

Just need to show the ruthlessness and intensity we showed against Arsenal. Requires a complete 45 minutes and a bit more confidence on the ball.

Feel my own blood pressure up after that first half But mainly pissed with how lax we've been. Defence has been utter shite on the ball. Missing Schar badly.

Well exploited by Bournemouth though.

Agreed.

Can't argue with that, they've absolutely boxed us in our half. Well coached and physical team. Been outplayed.

Beginning to feel discomfort with the wall-to-wall hyping up of Isak.

Time to reset this relationship with Bournemouth.
