The Bonk

I'm picturing Mitchell, Howe and whoever else is in the Transfer Committee™️ sat in front of a massive screen with a spreadsheet of players with our dear Paul presenting targets, Eddie with his arms crossed and brow furrowed. "It's Guehi or I'm off to chat with the FA, PAUL"

Best we looked attacking wise all game when he did too.

Thought he looked much more comfortable playing CB as well. As cover for LB, he might be adequate, but looked obvious this match it's not his preferred position.

If he's off and this is our lasting image of him, I'm okay with it.

I'd rather we keep him for whatever fee he'd fetch, he's clearly more valuable to us than the money.

Could migrate some of the eyebrows upwards for better coverage.

At the price that Chelsea want? Yes.

The most telling image of the match today was poor Tripps with his face in his hands unable to watch the horror show on the pitch. Let Murphy and Longstaff start cup matches and sit on the bench only to come on when we're trying to see out a match.

Be great if they showed more intensity and lived up to their ability, but character is fine until they get their collective shit together. You forget how annoying Bournemouth are until you play them. They bullied us on and off the ball, need to do better against these scrappy teams in that regard.

Both should be firmly rooted to the bench. Eddie got that starting 11 massively wrong and was completely stubborn not changing anything at the half. At least he can plainly see what's not going to work and our muted performances can only improve as the season wears on.

that's gotta be a red for Big Joe to complete one of his worsts performances for us.

FUCK YOU BOURNEMOUTH!!!!

It's off his arm

Oh, do fuck off. Completely fell asleep there.

Neto is a great shot stopper.

Holding on for dear life here, you'd think we're down to 10 men.

Why did this 11 not start the match? Eddie man, that first 11 were complete piss, man.

FUCK! what a save by Neto.

Gordon has turned to complete bobbins.

HIT THE FUCKING NET!!!!!

Would rather spend the Guehi money on him.

Has to be one our top 5 worst first half performances under Eddie.

Tripps crying, thanks Bournemouth.

Stolen by a Nigerian Prince.

Brutal giving the ball away Big Joe.
