Match OMT: Bournemouth (H), Sunday 31st December, 14:00

[Starks]

Bournemouth are excellently coached BTW.

 

[FOK]

HT

not pretty.

 

[Ttonite]

Does standing on the sidelines and not changing anything mean the manager is happy with what he’s seeing or more importantly, the manager is out of choices? I’m sure the latter would be my guess.How frustrating.

 

[Brian Fantana]

Son looks absolutely fucked

Needs to play through the middle. It’s beyond obvious.

 

[Cranston]

Tuned in at 29mins..... We haven't done a damn thing.

Have we been this all game?


Also; Sarr... Is it bad?

Started a bit better but our goal came from their mistake. Midfield struggling. Front three appalling.

Sarr walked off but his reaction was telling.

For about 15 minutes we looked like Brazil 1970, then it got progressively worse.

 

[Starks]

With our luck, won't be surprised if we lose other players in Jan when the currently injured ones come bk.

Definitely seems that way doesn't it?

We'll get Van de Ven back and Vicario will lose a hand or something.

 

[thinktank]

Son off, Richy wide left, Veliz up top, Hojbjerg straight swap for Lo Celso.

Click to shrink...

No value increase, there.

Hoj is fucking awful, as well.

 

[Richard Arlison]

B’Muff have a couple limping off at HT

Lucky it’s not 1-1 but then again we should have scored at least 1 more ourselves

Ange needs to rip into them at HT

 

[Shadydan]

I just did. I'd rather rather have PEH playing with one leg then watch Skipp

Click to shrink...

You wouldn't

Both are as bad as each other, pointless.

 

[StripiestPilot]

Bournemouth are doing a good job pressing us but that doesn’t excuse some of the passing, Porro has been especially poor and given the ball away far too often.

They are overthinking and hesitating too much, just relax and play and we’ll kill them off.

 

[tedesco23]

Cannot believe we got out of that half with a clean sheet.

Betancur surely isn’t fit for 90. I cannot imagine how much uglier this gets in the middle when he goes off.

 

[Phomesy]

We are taking the piss here, can't keep letting teams dominate like they are.
Come on Ange this isn't working mate.

Click to shrink...

Not sure what options there are though. Except to drop to low block and counter and Ange isn't going to do that...

 

[bus-conductor]

Would not be happening if we had CBs.

Very sad.

And all on that Bald fuck.

Click to shrink...

This is more than just missing CB’s.

We’ve got an even bigger problem in the forward positions. Barely a brain cell or any composure between them.

 

[glacierSpurs]

Without Sarr we legitimately have a bottom 3 midfield in the entire Premier League out there. Skipp is totally lost and there’s no chemistry at all.

Click to shrink...

Skipp seems to have no chemistry with any players at all after all these years.

 

[Jay Ban]

That was a dreadful last 25 minutes or so.

 

[LEGO Boy]

Fuck knows how we're winning. Poor stuff.

Emerson a calamity at CB.

Son fucking awful.

 

[Hrytn]

First half analysis:

In full control
Pin point passing all over the pitch
Locelso brilliant
Son man of the half

 

[VonnegutBusy]

Not sure why people are surprised we’re so shite today.

We’re missing Romero, VDV, Bissouma/Sarr, Maddison and Kulusevski from this line up.

We’ve also got a horrendously out of form trio of Son, Johnson and Richarlison playing up top. Although, an argument could be made that this is just Richarlison/Johnson’s level.

Our front 3 needs a complete overhaul if we’re going to make the most out of Angeball. It’s just nowhere near good enough.

110m on Richy and Johnson, lordy.
