Bournemouth (A) 31/8: Build-Up & Match Thread

[malta mick]

why are we so deep. Neves playing in the back 3 at times. should be higher up the pitch. still no cutting edge. everyone wants to receive ball to goal and play balls back. fucking terrible

 

[The Bion]

I really don't understand it tbh. The wide forwards aren't tucking in, so Raul is completely isolated. They stay wide, but then there's no interplay with the FBs because neither FB goes forward with any effectiveness. So they're basically just marooned out there doing nothing.

 

[YoungWolf]

This team has no idea what to do with the ball in the final third. And I have no idea what they are being told to do

 

[Jack Regan]

I see BT have rolled out the whole of their non league coverage team. Seems apt somehow...

 

[big mean bunny]

Vanity possession in the sense it's being given to us because it's where they are happy for us to have the ball. Being out worked in the areas where it matters and not incisive movement off the ball when it's needed.

This is poor coaching in the sense the players aren't making the runs or moving, they are getting back in a massive block and then we are just moving the ball in front of it.

 

[Walnut]

Bruno as got the players that he wanted, but are we any better certainly not. Time for him to go.

I wonder what the tactical genius is saying to the troops?
“More of the same you’ve got them on the run” or the equivalent in Lagespeak.

 

[StuardoWulf]

Jonny off RAN on at HT Raul step up and do your job. We can still obviously win this because they are shite

 

[t3ch]

Falling asleep

 

[malta mick]

Haaland another 3 goals. good job we didn't buy him, he'd never score again !!!

 

[BeaverWolf]

He'll outscore us this year.

Perhaps already!

 

[Banjo]

That was fucking pathetic. As threatening as a 5 year old ballerina. Clueless, listless, useless. Jimenez was utter garbage. Guedes shit. Moutinho, I fucking forgot Moutinho was on the pitch after the first 10 minutes. Jonny was also shit. There is nothing about how we play that says we know what we're going to do to score a goal.

I don't blame the players. No one has made a mistake or anything. They're being told to play like this.

[malta mick]

wouldn't want any of their players, but when they attack they do use pace and drive,

 

[Loki]

Can’t wait for Podence and Traore to come on in the 80th minute…

That early?

I hope one of our senior players has locked him in the toilets so he can't demotivate us further!

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

This is shit

 

[jd1981]

Those advocating giving Bruno more time obviously like the prospect of playing Rotherham or Luton next season.

 

[The Bear]

Not seen every minute but as usual we try and get men forward and threaten but don't actually create anything clear cut.

They just showed the highlights. Why is Raul always miles away from any ball into the box? I can't wait to see an actual penalty box striker in the team for a change.

 

[BeaverWolf]

Traore was a must start for this game. Instead we have to watch a bunch of fairies frightened to force a save out of their goalkeeper.
