That is never a red for Joelinton. Stop being soft. It’s the Premier League ffs. 
 

Young Eddie been let down by his players here. Also your fullbacks are overrated. That Livramento is worse than Wan Bissaka going forward and he can’t cross or pass. Lewis Hall can’t defend. See ya later. 

At least Burn has a better dance than you, you fuckin old t**t.

Absolutely he was clearly marked.

 

It's Bruno's complete lack of effort once he loses the ball that does my head in.  He should at least be sprinting back to try to put pressure on the player on the ball.

[Lush Vlad]

They’ve been great. But absolute insanity from us to continually try and play through their press. When we’ve barely managed it for 50 minutes. Defence all over the place and the forwards have been anonymous and we’ve not got them service, anyway. 
 

Massive 45 this. Not many decent options. But Joelinton needs to come off before he’s sent off. Not as useful on a yellow, anyway. 

[SiLvOR]

Wish we'd stop with these shit performances against Bournemouth man they have been good today though. Ref has been a joke as always. 

[Pearljam10]

Schar in for Burn 

[ikri]

Some very sloppy play and the really weak refereeing hasn't been helping.

[ponsaelius]

I did think I'd take a draw today. Bournemouth are really good but even aside from that I felt we're a bad matchup. Their physicality in midfield is capable of matching ours while the pace in attack is a nightmare for our slow backline. Even our quickest defender in Tino can't keep with Semenyo.

 

The ref has allowed some really robust challenges away from Adams in particular which has helped them suffocate us. Second half he should not be able to do as much being on a yellow, and they don't really have any replacements on the bench.

 

Like I say our best hope is they tire second half like they did against Chelsea.

[et tu brute]

Howe needs to give them a rocket up their arses. Not one player has had even an average game. Bournemouth have half a team out also. Murphy not existent and the whole back four have been shocking. Typical Newcastle this in a great position and fuck up

[Ronaldo]

Poor half. I’m hoping that the last time we’ll see that CB pairing as good as they are backs to the wall but Botman is on his wrong side and we miss Schar on transition. The front 3 haven’t really been in the game.

[Ronson333]

Only Tonali been decent, everyone else been shit

Botman on the right has really affected us playing out of their press I've noticed.

 

Keeps playing it back to Burn. Doesn't seem comfortable using his right to get it out to Tino when he's being pressured, and Tino has been free.

 

Adams has also been all over Bruno, who is making things harder for us to play out by dropping in deep alongside Tonali and inviting more pressure by trying to hold off players instead of moving it on quickly.

 

Seen this on a few occasions when we have had the chance for a break, we are holding the ball instead of releasing it quickly while the gaps are there to hit. The extra touch is killing us.

[Stottie]

They've done us here, with their press, the clinical finishes, and the fouling, but the ref hasn't helped. Guy clearly stands on Bruno's foot and nothing given. Mackem on US commentary says "no intent" or some other bollocks.

[Deuce]

Adams is way too much of a bulldog for someone made of papier-mâché

This is really poor. Its not like we could not expect this, they have been playing this way all season. And plenty of teams have beaten them.

TBF Bournemouth are a bit of a bogey team for us. They are undefeated in 9. We have won 6 in row in the league which isn't sustainable. And we aren't Real Madrid.

[nufcjb]

We have been so weak on the ball. Getting dispossesed so easily, losing out to 2nd balls. Really need to turn up in the second half and have to do it early.

[Lordshola]

Is it just me who thinks Dubs should have done a lot better for those 2 goals?

Good summary. Crazy really that the whole team has been so poor.

Not sure it’s been shit, Bournemouth have been excellent

[mighty__mag]

Think I was a bit arrogant or over confidence with our form, but Bournemouth have bullied us, however, that's mainly due to an aggressive press and the referee allowing them to do what they like, there's been multiple fouls all over the pitch, Stuart Atwell has blatantly turned a blind eye to.

 

Sound like a hard loser here, but the ref is killing us with his lightweight decisions.

 

Eddie is going to have to change what we're doing, it's not working at all. 

 

[andycap]

Gordon and Murphy have been missing when bournemouth counter. only really got tonali out the middle three that's playing well. 

Isak hasn't been in the game the defence look shaky to say the least. 

Burns passing has been shocking mind. 

Dubs should be getting a mitt on that second goal. 

 

[nufc4eva]

Livramento and Hall been really poor today, not tracking runners enough at all and letting them drift behind

Second one definitely but I assume he was screened by Burn. First one was good football.

[hakka]

We haven't given Isak a single chance have we?

[Ed Vinegar]

Bournemouth fully deserve to be ahead. They're at us the instant we get the ball and they're rapid at progressing the ball forward. 

 

Not sure what else to say, we look bad because they're outplaying us. 

 

I think we'll still have chances but we need to be 100x more clinical, can't make lazy mistakes against these because they can exploit that easily.
