To me its a confidence / mentality thing. Maddison has the confidence to just do what he does, we are missing him hugely.
Not that I want to bring it up, but a certain H. Kane doesnt piss about with the ball flicking it left or right to anyone else, he hits it first time so the oppo dont have a chance to set themselves - or at least shifts the ball and his body to create space to shoot. We dont have that clinical, assertive finisher anymore, everyone wants to pass the buck on to the next guy, which is bizarre when the football being played to GET us in that position to shoot in the first place is pretty damn good

We haven’t got the players to play the way ange wants at the moment so why not tighten up at the back instead of just looking like we are going to concede every attack
That’s true but all too often our first touch was off or our decision making was wrong
We were poor but still should have won
They were shitting themselves after our second!
Son back to his good every 5 games
I see what you are saying. But tomorrow never comes.
I would have accepted Phillips instead of Royal tonight.
He is our reserve RB. He ain't a CB.
Then he shouldn't have started.
We can't afford players playing with injuries when our defence is so depleted.
Relentless attack then becomes or best defence and we need for players for that.
Not injured players who disappeared for large chunks of the game.
I don’t mind Ange’s insistence on sticking steadfastly to his principles and ideals this season as part of instilling our new culture and identity. But I do worry that in certain future circumstances, cup semi finals, critical league matches etc, our refusal to be pragmatic could cost us. All top winning teams have had cynical pragmatism in their armoury.
Terrible today , think Ange took Richarlison off too early, he was getting caught offside but you felt he would've got one there
Overun in midfield we seriously need a quality centre back and midfielder, Lo Celso is just no good.
Veliz looked bright
This was a really poor effort, bar their third goal you felt we should've done a lot better each time.
One to forget, we won't get top 4 with this consistency

Son back to realising he wants to retire in his deeply nationalistic home land... Zero risk from him. And ducking all contact. Not sure what Johnsons excuse is..
Son was shit tonight. Nevermind
That's all well and good... and fine for the 'neutral' But surely there's a time and a place to mix it up and go defensive when needed...
Whether it's to protect a lead (unlike tonight), or nullify the opposition (like tonight) when they seem to be getting a foothold in the game.
I'm all for attacking football, when it's productive... But when it costs us goals, surely there's an argument to shut up shop for periods of the game, just until we can get our forward play organised...
Tonight felt either stubborn, or naive... Or just a bit of both.
Just waiting for Madders, VDV, Romero, et.al. to get back.
Bournemouth will be a massive struggle. They’ve had 2 days extra rest on us don’t forget. Will be a great win if we turn them over with no kulusevski.
Even that he doesn’t use! I really am struggling to see what he offers. His crap at holding the ball when received in tight situation. Just like Son. You can’t have any build up play with him as he loses the ball to easy.
We only woke up when the game was lost.
And to add insult to injury,Woolwich west ham is on the TV in pub now.
Watching it is torture.
It's like being asked,what do you want? A Dog shit sandwich or a Cat shit sandwich..Detest the fucking pair of them

We should beat Bournemouth mate.
It’s hard for us to judge, Phillips was brought for the future and if AP thinks he is not ready I think we should probably trust his judgement imo
Your mother cunt
