Bournemouth V Leicester - Match Thread

[Chazwaz]

Who said we looked good in the first 5? I want all of your heads on the end of a stick.

[mozartfox]

Persist with Morgan and Puel will be signing his own death certificate.   Pace and mobility at CB is a must in the EPL.  We have neither.  Is he either blind or scared of Morgan.  I am 100% behind Puel but not for much longer if he does not cure his blind spot.

Back 4 as a unit been hopeless along with 3 extremely poor individual performances is always a recipe for disaster

 

Not been helped by the midfield 2 either tbf, especially Ndidi (who for me looks to be at best stalling in his development) who is doing his best King impression. Gray also hid after his first run ended up with him dribbling it out of play.

 

Ghezzal and Maddison been decent.

 

Would go 5 at the back now. Playing 4 with cavalier full backs means we need pace at centre half which we don't have until Soyuncu is in.

 

 

This is our primary issue. Any good through ball that splits our centre backs is basically impossible for us to defend currently.

We’re five matches in. Chill. 

He's been here for far more than 5 matches... The improvement is too slow, if at all. 

[Mr Mister]

To be 3-0 down at half time means we are playing shit.

Evans and Iborra to come on please. We need to try regain control of the ball in the middle

No thanks, both waaaay too slow. Bournemouth would run rings around them.

I thought everyone was fed up with him being defensive?

Exactly. He gets called out when we play "boring football" win or lose and then called out when the 45 minutes pass in a flash.

 

I personally prefer this attacking football and the occassional loss.

You don't go 3 nil down being unlucky...you make your own luck...we've been shit

Anymore sayings you heard an ex-liverpool player make? Next you'll be complaining about Puel's aftermatch interview.

Not sure it has much to do with luck, tbh.

 

We look pretty lethargic, we start slowly, we're not big on creativity and we concede extremely soft goals.

 

And therefore luck was involved in the points we have on the board...

And lost

But we played Wolves and Southampton and won. Can’t have the argument both ways

You haven’t completed your apprenticeship yet then ......... I mean we win the bloody league in your first twenty years !! 

 

Am am I the only person concerned that Maddison is playing too high and because he is easily by passed, we are left light in centre midfield???

True but the majority of my first 10 years were the after shock of Peter Taylor culminating in league 1! We/i deserved that title win!

Get Rid Of Puel, He Ain't Got A Clue Of The Prem

[AjcW]

****s sake. I’m going to have to eat my words about Howe aren’t I?? Actually seems to be having a good season  probably owe @Fox92 a pint!

That’s bs tbh, plenty of moaners after we’d beaten wolves and Southampton because of the performance. 

Probably both of their fans would say we got lucky with both results, if they'd taken their chances both could have won those games. I think we going to see how this will unfold as the season goes on.

Everyone has been saying that playing Ricardo behind Ghezzal was suicide and everyone has been saying Morgan's time is done. Puel has chosen a lineup not many of us agree with and it's cost us so disagree bud...buck lies with him.

Ricardo has had a poor game but he's a 20 million pound right back, you've got to give him time there. As for Morgan, yes he ain't been great either but maguire has been worse, a total car crash. I went to Southampton away where Morgan was one of our best performers so you you can't just heap the blame on him 

[BenTheFox]

I really want Puel to succeed here because I really admire the vision of where he wants to take the club. However, halves of football like that have become all too common. It's just so predictable what's going to happen. I'm torn because I can see things continuing along like this, but on the other hand I don't want us to resort to a quick fix/Sam Allardyce type appointment. Anyone got any ideas as to what direction we should be going in?

[Chester Dontlie]

I'm very interested what will Puels come up with now. If we manage to not leak more goals and score a couple second half, then it's going to be quite an achievement in my book. Obviously it will be hard to forget the first 45 mins, so far it's like that Palace game all over again

[Beechey]

Christ, Claude looks absolutely livid

I’m in Charlotte, so we’ve had a lot of wind and rain up to now. Tonight is when we’ll start getting hammered and I expect it to be ugly. The soil here is loose and the rain won’t help matters; lots of trees bound to go down and take power lines with them. I’m expecting 2-3 days without power starting late this evening. 

Stay safe fella

Don't know why people are moaning, have you forgotten we are a work in progress

Maguire has been considerably worse and so has Ricardo defensively. They all need to take responsibility

I swear we could play Bournemouth every day until 2030 and still not manage to win, bogey team. Nothing more nothing less.

 

Smug cvnt Howe's post match interview will no doubt be massively cvntish. Hope he gets a big job and fails.

he could come here. would be ok by me.

[Always Next Year]

Wonder what shit Puel will attempt to translate in is post match interview.

On the plus side. you'll miss the meltdown if takes out wifi

[wardyfox86]

I'm going to predict we'll toil all second half without creating much, and eventually lose 4-0 having gone down to 10 men.

 

Just a hunch. Lol

Come on give us some hope you overpaid shites
