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

 

Second one definitely. Easy to forget that he's really not a very good goalkeeper anymore.

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

We have been shit, Bournemouth have also been good, like I said. Both things can be true

Doesn't matter. Have you seen his passing?

[Ikon]

It’s like playing with two one legged CB with burn there and Botman on the wrong side. 

[southernmag]

This half will go a long way to showing how much tactical acumen Eddie has. Although, halves like that do raise some questions imo.

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. 

 

And Bruno looks like he's running through treacle when tracking back

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. 

 

 

I'm hoping the flurry of yellows end of that half means their press is scaled back. 

[ElDiablo]

Not great and looking at the sides you could see this coming. Back 4 looks very shaky and scared to push up so we're back to conceding acres of space when we lose the ball up the pitch.

100%. Second one is abysmal, wasn't even hit that hard

[Myleftboot]

Balls into the box have been shite.

[Pablo123]

That was infuriating, so slow and ponderous on the ball. Shift it quickly, man. Hopefully a rocket up their arse at half time because that was poor. Credit to Bournemouth, too. They're a really well organised side, especially going forward 

[Mazzy]

Hard to see a way we actually win this that doesn't involve relying on Bournemouth tiring or making a mistake. 

[black_n_white]

Still think there’s more goals in this, could easily end 3-2 either way

[KaKa]

We do look a bit flat overall.

 

Rough having to face these lot in the early game after playing on Wednesday.

 

Would do well to snatch a draw here.

[thomas]

Joelinton earning his yellow was the high point of the half imo. Like a pitcher beaning a batter after one of theirs gets hit. You gotta do it. That's a loving teammate right there.

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.

If you want champions league football you need to win these games

[alexf]

Not a single chance or moment created for the most inform striker in the league tells you how off it we were that half. Not playing yo our strengths and all our weaknesses are getting exposed.

Every foul on Bruno should be a yellow now, they are targeting him and the ref has let them.

Only Tonali been decent, everyone else been shit

It’s his worst game for a long time too, everyone has been playing poorly. Credit to Bournemouth though, they are really good.

A draw would be decent, would have taken it before the game.

Just need to show the ruthlessness and intensity we showed against Arsenal. Requires a complete 45 minutes and a bit more confidence on the ball.

[Ikon]

Joelinton should start focusing on his football instead of running around like a bull.
