Have felt like I'm in a dreamlike state ever since the final whistle, like many I feel like I'm still processing everything, it's all very surreal. Half expecting to wake up tomorrow and find out this was only a dream What a beautiful day, love you all

Not sure why we haven't gone after them with a far more aggressive press

Given the context of the game I actually didn't want to see that, but at least we'll always have this picture

Provisional DGW announcement is leading to a rethink for this week, as for many others - either going to sell Gakpo to use the assistant manager chip on Slot (already have triple Liverpool) or use the assistant manager chip on Moyes and then look to make manager transfers in the coming weeks.

It isn't really about meting out blame as such (at least not for me) but more trying to make sense of what actually happened for things to go so badly today. I think the structure of the press from Bournemouth absolutely was a contributing factor to our players looking so poor on the ball i.e. a tactical issue. Dan Burn alluded to as much in his post-match interview - "They set traps with the way they play. Their press is quite different to other teams and we played into it and suffered because of it" Actually looking forward to our next meeting with these because there is very good reason to believe Howe will analyse the game down to the finest detail to work out how to put this right. I remember a similar game we had against Aston Villa in 2023, where it was equally apparent that we were tactically outmanoeuvred on the day and unable to find any answers. We've done very well against them ever since.

Think they had a much better chance of staying up with Cooper, tbh.

Not for me - Debuchy better on a number of counts IMO (especially technically and going forward)

Looking like Saka is going to be out for an extended period - bit of a shakeup in terms of the template which has formed in the last couple of months. Anyone have a clear idea in terms of where they're looking in terms of replacements? Personally weighing up B. Fernandes, Diaz and Martinelli. If not, may look to downgrade to one of the cheaper mids and keep the cash for elsewhere/further down the line.

Cooper actually seemed like he was doing an okay job at Leicester from the outside considering the squad/resources at his disposal - certainly showed more on average under him than they have in the last two games.
