thomas Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 (edited) 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. Edited January 18 by thomas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 (edited) 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. Edited January 18 by alexf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KetsbaiaIsBald Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Every foul on Bruno should be a yellow now, they are targeting him and the ref has let them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would do well to snatch a draw here. A draw would be decent, would have taken it before the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Just now, Mazzy said: Hard to see a way we actually win this that doesn't involve relying on Bournemouth tiring or making a mistake. 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.

alexf Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 If Schar is fit enough to play he needs to come on 2nd half immediately. We need his passing out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Just now, hakka said: I'm hoping the flurry of yellows end of that half means their press is scaled back. We need more though pal, their wingers are pushing back our fullbacks, Isak has hardly had a mention, he's going to need to come deep and make some things happen like he did against Wolves, our midfield need to be several seconds quicker with the release, Bruno can not expect to draw fouls with this ref and Bournemouths press, Joelinton also has a reaction delay, just need to be sharper and quicker at everything.

Although, halves like that do raise some questions imo. Agreed. Iraola has had his pants down that half. Have no idea what to do with their press and we keep plodding along trying to play through it to no success. Are all the players having an off day? Or is it because Bournemouth have executed their gameplan perfectly and we have no clue what to do against them? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bournemouth are our worst nightmare in that regard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
