ponsaelius Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Bench definitely an issue. It should have been our major advantage today from 60 mins on. The one bloke they had to bring on who is not a child had more impact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst possible team to have to face early today after playing Wednesday. They got us real good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Always awful to be outworked at home, like. Some baffling decisions from players and management, but it happens. Felt a bit like the Villa game in 22/23 - everything went wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Is it necessary to use words like embarrassing to describe a 9 game winning run being ended by a team that won at Stamford Bridge 3 days ago and are now 1 point behind us? We threw attacking players on to try and get an equaliser so the score looks worse than it might have done - big deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Using the word "embarrassing" to describe a performance in which our players tried but ultimately failed, falling short to a brilliant opposition performance, is frankly, embarrassing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Fair do's, the better side won. They had the equipment to nullify our game. My heart sank when Isak grabbed the ball for that free kick near the end. I appreciate that as our star striker he wanted it, but Tripps is the free-kick specialist. It astonishes me when I see that kind of school playground mentality among professionals. Either the captain or the manager should have insisted on Trippier having it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 There is not too much to take from this match, tbh. The team has been playing extremely well, but came out looking ragged and tired against a side that worked hard and was well-drilled. There are times you can overcome this, but you will not when the opposition is finishing like that.All four goals were very well taken. The sloppiness today was poor, but is only really a worry if it spreads to the next few matches. The question is if the team can regain positive momentum after getting their ass viciously beaten in that manner Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Fair play to Bournemouth. In my opinion the team that plays with the best energy and intensity in the league. Every single game they are at the opposition. Well done to them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, fuming as I was over how we went about the second half, they were outstanding. Had a great gameplan and executed it perfectly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danh1 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Reminded me of that Forest game last season. Shite early kick offs, players looked like they couldn’t be arsed, most of the crowd couldn’t be arsed and outclassed. Every single player was shite there.

ponsaelius Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Can we never let Isak take a free kick again btw? Felt like putting his goalscoring run above the game outcome. Would have Tonali, Trippier, Schar and Gordon all take it before him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 5 minutes ago, LiquidAK said: Feel like we need to reach an understanding that the other team are trying to win too and it's not always that we're fucking shit when things don't go our way. They’re not mutually exclusive, though. Their gameplan was perfect. How we set up and how we continued to try and combat it was confusing to say the least. It just made them better and played into their hands with attempting to beat their press all the while. I do think Howe was out thought on the day. Plus certain players were miles off individually on top of that. Unforced errors under minimal or no pressure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-421 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Aye, disappointing but the better team on the day won, and comfortably. The chances missed earlier, they got the scoreline they ultimately deserved. We looked very lethargic today, and maybe the run of fixtures just caught up with us, but we have a week to regroup and hopefully be back up for it next saturday!
