The lack of control in every game is second only to the officiating this season.

Any notice a head injury being ignored by the ref??

Anyone ever see that before?
I never have

I also noticed we played shit

One gets the feeling he has one Eye on Madrid going through the motions.It wont do.

What a stupid thing to say.

Nothing stupid about it at all.
His OPTA stats support the fact he is playing nowhere near as well as he was last season.

Currently he is little more than a passenger in this side..Hence why he was Subbed today

His all round contribution to our game play other than scoring is crap.. He has missed a lot of sitters this season.

Something is different.Last Season he was breaking his Kneck to get on the end of crosses.Today i watched him half arsed trying to get tere..

It's because of him we scored and won.

It's because of him we won against brentford.
It's because of him we beat Everton.

That's nine fucking points pal. And you think he wants to leave.

Yes, he has missed a lot of chances this season.

But he's the top scorer in the entire league so the the others must all want to leave as well then.

We played better for years before he arrived - sounds harsh I know .

I 100% agree with you Carl.

Talk of KDB going to Saudi Pro league would be the stuff of nightmares so integral is he to our game play.

Haaland on the other hand is off to Madrid Spain in the next couple of years..That is the reality whether we like it or not..Maybe not next season with them having Mbappe salary to deal with.Definitely he will be there for 25/26.I dont see him committing to us long term.With that in mind,then we do what is best for us.

.I think Pep made a point of subbing him today.His way of saying your performances are not good enough.

Last season Haaland occupied an entire back 4.Teams were having to use a back 4,5 to defend against him.

This season he is hiding in plain sight half heartedly breaking sweat to get to crosses..

Alvarez is the better all round team player.

Can't understand the complaints. Bournemouth didn't pack their penalty area like Chelsea or Brentford did. They tried to play. It is to be expected that if the opposition try to score goals we need to defend.

whats with the passive aggression. Grow up ffs you Tit.

The only thing Doku tests is patience. Not great, is he?

Passive?

That was just aggression you mong. You need to grow up if you're calling the lad sho rescued our last 9 points a passenger.

Are you fucking blind or thick?

And while I'm at it....

"He's not as good as he was last season"

No striker has ever been as good as he was last season in the Premier league. Ever.

Have a little think about that

Fuck me......I have not heard the word " Mong" used since way back in "1983"

You have got to be in your late 70s......surely.

Worst player for us was Bernardo who gave it away time and time again and had the easiest chance to put Erling through 1st half and blew it.
Doku was shit when he came on.
Kovacic was great, as was John Stones and obviously Phil.

Maths wouldn't be your strong point obviously zabba.

Now, back to the point you raised .

Haaland is a passenger that wants to move to Madrid and hides in games.

You're a fucking mong

He's not been his usual self, that's for sure.

There's a collective problem. It's like the shite play is contagious

Bernardo was dreadful. I'll be surprised if Doku amounts to anything in this league.

We played shit, the referee excuses are getting tideous. Yes there is corruption and yes there are lots of dodgy decisions go against us. Today wasn't a great performance. You think anyone criticises performances or individuals is a Pep hater. For the record, I believe Pep is the best manager in PL history and certainly ours.

Both Alvarez and Doku are good players , but today as "impact" subs , they brought nothing to the table. He should have brought Jack and tin tin earlier. He should have left Haarland on. Haarland feeds off scraps from his midfield. Foden shot in the first half , like against Brentford when Haarland was in a much better position for a tap in. Haarland has much patience with our midfield.

I thought this was a very good game . Bournemouth didn't just try to defend with eleven men. They made a go of it. We defended well. Ake was brill again and even Akanji played well at right back, having played left back last tuesday. In the first twent minutes of the second hald Rodri, Bernie and Kova went missing.

Midfield is where games are won or lost.

Made hard work of that

But

Never felt more like singin' the blues
City win, United lose
Oh City

I don't think we played badly at all. Strange how we all see it differently , isn't it ? A much better game than against Chavs or Brentford with their 11 man in the box tactic. I hope Bournemouth do well, limited resources , but not a bad team. I think they even beat the rags recently at old toilet. So they must be good.

Not at all mate.

I thought we were shit tonight. I thought the officiating was also shit.

They're not mutually exclusive yet whenever it's mentioned someone points our our performance. I'll never understand that.

Kova was decent today. Nice to see
