He had 220m on the bench last week you fuckin nugget 😂

He did, but that was in a team set up to sit deep and counter, with plenty of space for him to work in. Put him in tight areas though, and he looks completely out of his depth.

Every time he gets on the ball, he looks completely uncomfortable, like the ball is a grenade that’s about to blow up. Really poor signing

He can’t really have any complaints if he’s moved on. With the amount that’s been spent, failing to qualify for Europe should come with consequences.

Consistently bang average. Sell

If an offer around £70m comes in, I think you seriously have to consider it. He’s a good player, but that’s a huge fee relative to what he consistently delivers. I’m still not fully convinced by his ability to get goals in key moments, and at 25, it’s hard to see a significant jump in his overall game.

Howe now has the benefit of full weeks on the training ground with the squad, but it’s hard to see that making much of a difference at this stage. Too many players look mentally checked out, and that’s not something extra training sessions alone can fix. At this point, it probably feels like the right time for him to part ways with the club. Right now, he doesn’t seem to have the answers to the issues we’re facing. I’ve also never been entirely comfortable with the level of control he appears to have taken on. It feels as though he’s surrounded himself with people who won’t challenge him enough, and the appointment of Ross Wilson, given his close ties to Howe, only added to those concerns. There’s growing evidence that he’s too loyal to certain players. Decisions like making Murphy captain, let alone starting him, are hard to justify. I remember seeing a Bournemouth fan say loyalty is his weakness. It would be hard to argue with that. There’s no doubt Eddie Howe is a talented manager, and will go on to do very well elsewhere, but it does feel like his time here has run its course. I just hope it doesn’t turn nasty towards him

47 touches of the ball today and lost possession 22 times according to the stats ffs 😂

Mind Murphy prob uses his “leadership team” bonus card to get him game time. Fuck nahs what he did to captain this team today

220m worth of summer signings on the bench 😂

Howe wanted Strand Larson as well, who was hauled off today for being absolutely shite, like he is

This 100%. Also Ramsey should have started imo, looked like he was trying to prove that point when he came on.

Reactive subs again after each goal. Giving Murphy the capt armband is laughable, he can fuck off with that shite. 7 defeats in 10 PL games. Bye

Ramsey looked brighter when he came than the useless cunts who started

He’s gone, and rightfully so with no Europe

Why is Murphy captain btw, let alone starting?

This is horrendous 😂

I still think he’s better when he plays at left back. I think he’ll start for England there during the summer

It would hardly need brainwashing. He’s nearly 29 and I would imagine he will want CL football. If anything, I’d be more surprised if he wanted to stay

Too late, they bought traore for 8m

I’m really not sure he ticks all the boxes for them clubs. Not a chance they’d give him the control and freedom he created here

13 league defeats is a shocking return with the amount of money he’s spent. He’d be out of a job at most clubs so see don’t see why it should be any different here. Looks a broken man at the post match stuff

He’s squeezed everything out of his ability, but that ability has a ceiling, and you can see it every time he’s plays.

He’s fuckin shite
