Our worst pound for pound signing in premier league history . I can’t think of one thing he has done since he’s been here , you don’t even know he’s playing .

Also ability. We don't have the players for a positive system right now. We had 7 games to try and just grind out results. We don't have time for bedding in another system.
But everything these clowns in charge do is the wrong thing, so no point in even caring about it. Made my peace.
Repositions his hair band on a regular basis
I just see a squad who can't see or believe in a win.
We csn debate quality until the cows come home.
Bournemouth went how many games without a win? Now they are however many games without a defeat.
It's the fragility of confidence and them whatever else in my opinion.
Worrying that a) De Zerbi started with Gallagher and b) that he didn't take him off until the 85th(!) minute
And we’re never gonna give him up
Agreed. Even L2 or National League sides would put up more of a fight against PL sides than we do just through belief. The team is beaten in their heads before they even arrive at the game.
Feels like that.
You feel we would need a brand new 11 just to find a way.
It's depressing but being a fan is you take it on the chin and keep the faith and the support
The club go down then we go down. It will never lose my support but we need monumental change or we won't return to the PL anytime soon.
And tbat change should we go dowm is buying ourselves and the right brand of player to get straight back.
Bournemouth actually have talented players. They are just very young and their manager plays a high risk system. Throw in a bit of youthful naivety/fearlessness and it shouldn’t be surprising that they go on these runs.
Always easier to say when it happens of course. Maybe.
No hindsight here.
This is just from watching them since Iraola has come in. Very streaky team but because they always make sure that they have difference making talent (recruitment; HELLO), and the coach to give the players the platform despite the constant selling off of talent, they will be fine. Of course this will come to an end as it has done for Wolves and Southampton and Leicester before them, but for now…
Kroupi (sp?) and rayan are the new 2 stars with Scott taking that next step.
Fair enough.
Why don't clubs who have much more money than Bournemouth find these players?
I think belief and confidence make a huge difference and in our case it's even more than that.
Is it me or is the "engine" he's known for isn't that apparent? What's happened?
Solanke was their best player a couple of season ago, their "difference making talent". So good we paid £65M for him.
Now he's shit.
Competence and Hive mind operation.
Bournemouth know what they want to be; Spurs do not.
23-24 Bournemouth had:
Zabarnyi (sp?)
Kluivert
Senesi
Semenyo.
It was a decent team. Iraola just played to Solanke’s strengths. Seems like a common theme that we keep looking for an individual to save us instead of just building a team.
Yep everyone overrates the Poch team. It was just exceptionally well balanced, Eriksen and Dele’s flaws where covered by having the likes of Dembele and Waynama behind them.
We have no wingers. So play 3 strikers in attack and wonder why we don’t generate any chances. Yes we have injuries but even if Kudus and Odobert were fit we still have only two wide players. We also have no passing DM, Gray isn’t a pure 6 and Palhinha is a destroyer.
There is no alignment between squad and manager. It’s all square pegs rounds holes. We only need 2 of Richy, Solanke and Muani and only one of them on the pitch but we have to play them due to our stupid squad building.
It’s hard to see a worse balanced squad. We don’t have the worse quality squad but we have the most misaligned one. Our squad actually reminds me of when the papers put out a list of footballers in the final year of their contract and it’s just a random assortment of players.
Squad building and profiling belongs to the:
I think Bournemouth know what they are and we certainly think we know but don't.
As a result and I wrote this in the last day or so, we are stuck between 2, or maybe 3 stools.
