Bournemouth (A) 01/03/25 - FA Cup (5th Round) - Build Up & Match Thread

Of course it does. The ball is ahead of Huijsen when he Kerkez touches it.

It’s not the rule FFS .

You been living under a rock for 30 years. Do you remember the Neto one against Leicester. Or the several other times it’s happened

I know the rule thanks.

If the ball travelled forwards off Kerkez it would have gone out of play as he was level with the post.

 

[Squeak]

Not the type of game for Sarabia.

Gutless and weak as piss.

There was one attack from them where he ran into clear space to avoid the confrontation.... spineless.

 

[Jinky]

Not really. We were the better side IMO until they got the goal. We've struggled since though as it's been stop start and they've upped their game a bit.

We can’t string two passes together and are, bar that header from Cunha which was weak and straight at their keeper, creating nothing. Bournemouth, on the other hand, are seemingly capable of cutting through us like a knife on butter whenever they fancy.

Very, very lucky to only be one goal in it.

Might be a marshmallow game

You don’t as you think it’s onside…

Larsen limping off - don’t expect to see him in the second half.

Yep both media outlets I’m switching between are saying it’s a deserved lead and the better side are ahead.

We almost scored when Djiga deflected JRB's (I think) shot wide.

Then the ball dropped from up high to Larsen at the back post, and he couldn't get a touch on it. Both decent chances with their keeper nowhere.

 

[Celtiña]

I dont know by you guys continue ussing defense of 5 players.

Ur two wings Semedo and Rayan dont made nothing on attack and no defense.

Try change to 4-5-1 and put more midfields.

If your defense is bad, play more ofensive.

As I watch us regularly I’m happy to concede this is likely. However… the media have long decided Bournemouth are great and hope they win the cup. When they’ve decided on a narrative it takes a complete reversal of epic proportions for any grudging shift.

Mind, we probably are crap.

The ball makes no difference. Huijsen was just ahead of Kerkez and each of them (from memory) were ahead of all our defenders including Johnstone actually. It’s offside on that basis.

 

[Sedgley Wolf]

Awful. So weak in central midfield. They're just walking through us.

Yes that's a clear weak area. JRB not in the game and Gomes doing his usual drifting around leaving gaps that JRB isn't going to fill.

Need Andre on.

The ball does make a difference but the direction of travel doesn’t. His foot was ahead of the ball (and defenders) therefore offside.

Sorry yes, that’s a better way of putting it!

Yeah after a second view his foot does look off. It looked like they were using his torso to start with.

Good. He’s been diabolical.

 

[PuntsWolf]

On the game, they are just streets ahead of us. So much intensity and pressing and we just can’t pass out of that. Couple that with defenders not being very good and they have chances.

Bizarrely we are still in it though at 1-0. But except for Andre who may allow to beat a press better we have nothing else to change the game.

Didn’t see him in the first half so no change then.
