It's going through the middle, that isn't on the two wingers, that is the midfield.

The mental gymnastics he goes through to take any blame away from Fernandez is amazing.

Delap flat footed

The guys sh*t if he wasn’t as tall and athletic he would be playing for Layton orient

Why did palmer slow it down there

Because that's what we do, always the pointless additional ball across to a player who isn't really in any better position. Sometimes it's just better to play pinball rather that hoping a perfect shooting chance emerges from nowhere against a well drilled defensive side.

We successfully defended a long throw! Like a goal that is!

Yes the cms are spread because they are not getting the support from the wings and both wingers are Very poor tracking back and joining the middle.

That teams play with 4-5 players in the middle is not an opinion btw.

We're still trying to figure that out, but rotation, charity and December may be key words of the autopsy.

Acheampong auditioning for WWE, presumably having been put off football for life after having played under Maresca for 18 months.

D for disaster?

1) Take Delap off and put Palmer at the front.

2) Get Santos on and move Enzo to the No.10 position.

3) Get Neto on for Garnacho (maybe not right away).

I assume it's D for Donegal

Anyone else feel nothing when we went 2-1 up?

Enzo however just won another WC apparently.

Yep

Surely that's a free kick - Townsend a hole

Nope he’s not available today. 😄

Our defence is a joke.

They get their shot off every time and nearly score, don't Bournmouth know they should keep passing it around the box until they lose it?

I never thought I would feel sorry for Sanchez. He used to be the bozo, but the players in front of him are making his job impossible.

Haven’t Bournemouth not won since the introduction of the pass back rule or something?

This bothers me as well. The commentator is Matt Holland, but despite being born in Bury he sounds exactly like Andy f**king Townsend.

Coincidentally, both have a significant number of Ireland caps despite never having set foot in the country outside of the Jameson distillery tour.

That too, but mostly a tablet on the brink of death doing odd things 😀

they definitely have better manager, he has done wonderful with these players a budget.🙄

7 mins ???

If we end up higher than 6th or 7th come the end of the season I’d be shocked. We are abysmal ATM, defensively and going forward.

He’s not even in the top 11 of ours problems anymore.
