Bournemouth (H) 18/2: Build-Up & Match Thread

[jd1981]

Southampton take the lead at Chelsea

 

[WsWolf]

Very poor half that. They've let us play and so far all we've come up with is slow side to side and then give it to the circus freak. Who, one run apart has been shocking.

 

[MobNet Wolf]

Sometimes Nunes' quality on the ball is so poor, odd when at times he looks so classy

I think there are serious question marks over him. He's a luxury player with zero output at the moment. How many passes does he want to blast out of play?

 

[Alan]

Love Moutinho but he can’t get around quick enough to glue the front three with the rest. That’s the crux of the issue, IMO.

 

[Del Woppio]

Neto isn't in the squad.

Ha, maybe not then!

Not watching the same match as me!

 

[Dire Wolf]

We've played well without creating anything of note. Semedo has been outstanding. Sarabia has looked pretty good to me, not sure why someone said he'd been poor? Traore has been Traore, both brilliant and useless in the same passage of play sometimes. Cunha has again been a disappointment.

We haven't got a central attacking player on the pitch in the final third. Bournemouth have packed the middle and headed and kicked away anything in there.

Often flits in and out of games which is an awful trait for a central midfielder.

Sarabia looks a bit too Daniel Podence for me.

Neat, tidy, lots of decent interplay but absolutely fuck all cutting edge.

I mean, it's an opinion you're entitled to but I don't think you could have got it more wrong to be honest.

Sarabia hasn't really done much ultimately. His crossing has been poor and he has barely got into the middle.

Podence is our joint top scorer. And often looks most threatening.

I thought he'd linked play quite well at times.

 

[The Bion]

Would like to see Bueno on the ball more in the attack, think he can hurt them

 

[Tony Towner]

We are better set up, we play with more intensity, we try to be more creative. We still don't have a goalscorer

 

[Alan]

We’re really clutching at straws to call anyone outright poor in that half, IMO.

 

[WsWolf]

I mean, it's an opinion you're entitled to but I don't think you could have got it more wrong to be honest.

Interesting, which part in particular? Because we didn't create anything of note and Adama has been a mix of Djimi Traore and Freddie Eastwood.

 

[The Bear]

I'd be bringing Jimenez on sooner rather than later personally. Probably for Moutinho, and go two up top with Cunha.

Really not understanding the negative sarabia comments. I must be watching a different game
