this refereeing ineptitude is awfully one-sided

7 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses when he's started in the PL this season.

Different eras, innit. There's not as many high quality number 9s around as there was then. Imagine how many goals peak Shearer would score against a high line like Spurs' today

This Kerkez lad looks amazing

hahaha

The Anderson/Barnes partnership reminded me of the peak Willock/Joelinton combination. They were great together.

Yeah, Isak was always on Bissouma/Hojberg which left both Barnes and Gordon free to press/intercept and just generally prevent them from building up properly. Also left them free on the counter which was lethal. It was great to watch.

Gerrin. Bournemouth are creating chances for fun down Kambwala's side. I think the kid might be a bit shit.

Bournemouth are looking good here. On top in general play and leading, which almost certainly means Man U are going to win.

We were defending man-to-man so Anderson was defending wherever Porro was. Both their full backs come infield sometimes so sometimes we were defending in a back 4, sometimes it looked like a 5. It was some seriously good coaching from Howe and the team to drill it as well as they did.

He's way more involved than I expected him to be based on his Leicester days. Rodgers must've been tactically instructing him to stay out of the game.

I mean his man in the man marking system was Maddison and you barely saw Maddison at all in the first half and certainly not in threatening positions. Thought he was really, really good out of possession.

On recent evidence I think there's an argument that Gordon might be just as good on the right as he is on the left anyway tbh!

it's really frustrating that after that game people are in here talking about what they would or wouldn't sell him for

said it in the pre-match thread but he really isn't doing anywhere near as good a job as the media make out. Out of both cups at pretty much the first opportunity, no Europe to contend with, and yet they're still only 5th in the league behind Aston Villa despite all the praise. Very happy that we gave them a good humbling today.

An absolute masterclass today. Went man-to-man and we won the physical battles with ease.

beautiful man

We really could've scored a few more here

man, Werner is so bad it's funny

Barnes > Maddison and this is my evidence.

Kulusevski is pulling us out of position a bit. Smart player.

I think Anderson is potential future captain material . He's organising the midfield ffs

Murph with the memes again

This Barnes/Anderson combination is fantastic.

If that is not endangering a player I don't know what is
