Teams were told at the start of the season, players would be booked for kicking the ball away, approaching the ref and dissent, so why are our players and coach mouthing off? Only Sanchez, Colwill and Forfana booked for fouls, Veiga booked for jumping into crowd!

They're not consistent with it. At times you could clearly see there was no dissent, it was just talking, like with Sancho's yellow card. Taylor is a jobsworth. 

Taylor was having a nervous breakdown out there. He was booking players for innocuous tackles, for no reason. Really needed someone to step in and lead him away to a quiet room. 

Well I enjoy my evenings viewing unlike you lot. Try going to a musical instead of watching these c**ts, much better for the old mental health!

palmer not 100% ?  seemed half hearted everytime.

Palmer had to play deep because the midfield was non-existent when we were in possession, and our defenders struggled with that which is why they kept misplacing passes. 

Palmer had a ridiculous season last season so it's going to be hard for him to keep that standard up in a brand new system like this, I still think he played well to be honest.

We may not have played the best of games but, we’ve won in a difficult place and it’s time that we start winning when not playing well, that’s what top teams do.

Bournemouth a difficult place that can any team up we got 3 points....but really we were sh*te.  If it wasn't for Sanchez we'd be walking home with our tail between our legs.   I'm not sure what is in the water at Cobham but whatever it is it stinks.  For what, 3 - 4 seasons now, under different management we are still seeing this sideways backwards 5-10 yard sh*te going nowhere and when we do finally get in the box it goes to hell in a hand basket.....and speaking of baskets...Jackson needs to be put in a hamper and put out to sea, where he can float around all day...that boy is a basket case of a centre forward.  This is going to be another season of cursing Jackson for miss after miss after miss...and they gave him a 500 year contract, only Chelsea would do that no other club is that mental...send him on loan to the furthest place in the Saudi League or something and play someone that can actually score goals.  

Any way...3 points stolen I guess...can't wait to play West Ham next week.

Ordinary performance, but a terrific result. Just needed a win after dropping points against Palace a fortnight ago.

Sanchez was very good in goals, and did well to save the penalty. Sancho's performance was very encouraging, it was better than I expected.

Anthony Taylor is an appalling referee, and we have countless examples of his hatred against us over the years. Taylor and Chelsea are like water and oil.

We were poor and made it easy for them - kept on playing it down the right ... might as well have left Neto on the bench first half.

Have to start Sancho and Nkunku... Sancho is one of those players who just has time to think about what he's going to do - bit of class.

IMHO - Sancho + Nkunku = Goals - Neto + Jackson = Championship

Sanchez had a good game even if he is a bit slow getting the ball out from the back - started to remind me of Thiago Silva...

Tosin and Veiga look good.

Poor performance but good result

 

I read AFC Bournemouth changed their name to that so they appear first in the Table

Perhaps that pr@t Taylor Should be renamed AYC A Taylor!

Tosin almost cost us with that terrible lazy pass out from the back.

Great result. Missed the first half but 2nd half was horrible to watch for the most part. 

I hate our slow build up. How comes we can't ball out like Bournemouth?. They were spreading play with forward passing out wide in several passes and it was killing us. It's not like they were only getting success on the breakaway either. 

We got lucky bug it makes up for Palace.

As a team performance, we were not good enough and have to admit that a bit lucky. Sanchez kept us in the game with a penalty save and Bournemouth didn't finish their chances.

Happy with the 3 points and clean sheet, I just hope it's a matter of project and expect an improvement in the next game.

COME ON CHELS!

Was that Tosin...?

Maybe I need to go to specsavers .

The team is still in progression, things aren't going to happen overnight. We were also missing Enzo & Lavia.

Let's not forget this is a well drilled established Bournemouth outfit, who at this moment are more of a team due to that fact.

We act like we should be blowing teams away, and then getting annoyed when we don't. Patience my friends.

I’m still buzzing about the 3 points.

It really looked like it was going to be one of these games where we play poor and get smashed. But key players stuck in and fought really hard to keep us in the game and eventually we got the win. It wasn’t pretty but we got it.

Under Poch we would have lost that.

Tosin played well apart from that. But for our CBs to commit two horrific blunders like that in the same game is unforgivable. 

Especially given that our keepers make at least one per game. Fortunately yesterday was an exception.

Credit to Sanchez apart from condeing the penalty he played well.

Nkunku's finish was sublime and Sancho looks like he is interested.

First team to defeat Bournemouth this season. 

COYB.

 

What I really liked about our performance which has been something Enzo's brought to our football is our wingers actually track back. I felt we decided we are not going to concede today instead of going all out attack. 

Our performance over all wasn't good at all but I feel we are really trying to keep a clean sheet instead of just going all out on a goal fest.

The stats lie, like they often do. Anybody that says Veiga was one of our best players is wrong. They even have him rated higher than Sancho, and he changed the whole game for us. It's nonsense stats like these that made us sign many below average footballers.

This even has Fofana as our second best player, and he was fully responsible for the penalty.

Take the stats how you will.

Isn't that the problem with stats, because he didn't directly give the penalty away it doesn't bring his average rating down? f**k knows, I just hate stats.

We were crap for 60 mins 

but we won that’s 7 points from 9 and spurs lost so a perfect weekend 

Liverpool also lost
