Looks abit burnt out today but it's mainly his lack of athleticism here which apart from Tino is evident and across the back 4 and has been a clear tactic from Bournemouth. They know they are quicker and have been aggressive with it.

Played 17 games in 2 months and a week. Pretty much twice a week. Most the full 90mins.

Maybe in need of a rest?

Said it before the Arsenal game. We are in danger of running him into the ground. Not sure thats the reason today, because the whole team played poorly, but he has played a lot.

Yep. I know that has been a tactic of ours a lot of the time. But you would have thought we might have made a slight change during the game to help him. 
 

Gordon used to be renowned for his defensive work and the shifts he’d put in. 
 

I’d argue Gordon was our worst player today overall.

Tough day for the lad, looked like the August version of him had been transplanted in today. He'll be fine, all part of his learning.

 

We really missed his distribution. Not having him or any other defenders on their passing game was a big problem.

This. Gordon hung him out to dry. It was obvious he needed protecting to calm the storm, but Gordon just strolled around or stopped too high up the pitch.

We were 4-2-3-1 with Joelinton in behind Isak in possession first half, too, which exposed him even more. He’s remarkably consistent for his age, but it did feel like Bournemouth targeted that side of our back four yesterday and got rewarded.
