*** City vs Bournemouth official match thread***

[Tokyo Blue]

Why the fuck are we the ones hanging on? This is a bottom 3 club battering us in the 2nd half, especially in the last 25 minutes

They are fighting for survival and we are not arsed.

[aaron bond]

Stones/Otamendi standards of defending rubbing off on Garcia tonight.

Will be good for him to be back alongside Laporte this weekend.

[branny]

We just can't do it can we? We can't get through a game without putting a chance on a plate for the opposition. Garcia this time.

[nottsblue]

Would have the first time since 1902 we win six straight home games with six clean sheets

Disappointing

Thats what happens when you stick otto and Stones in defense.....they are truly shocking , especially stones.

I hear you but this is not the warm up for the semi final that you want

[BrianF]

We need a clearout this transfer window.

[blues2win]

Really poor. Bournemouth could easily have got a point. Sticking Garcia at right back didn’t work. More generally Bournemouth's pressing was very effective and we couldn’t keep hold of the ball. You can see why we lost 9 matches this season. Not good enough.

I too dislike the pairing but I dont think there's anything those two could do about the Brooks goal. The through ball took Stones completely out of it. He had no chance at that and then it was 2 vs Ederson

[Harry Dowd scored]

Fucking Burnley get injury time pen v Wolves, bet rags are happy with that

[Sideshow Bob]

poor performance. i hope they were saving themselves for saturday...

[Beefymcfc]

Wilson gonna get booked for that?!

Who's his parent club?

The murdering bastards.

That’s a thought, where’s that Jordan Ibe bloke who is so much better than Sterling?

Bournemouth? Can't get a game?

I thought he’d moved on, wasn’t sure. Obviously his performances haven’t attracted the same attention as Sterling’s have.

Pity his old club didn’t keep him, surely he’d have a chance to prove tonight against a weakened Arsenal.

[Beefymcfc]

...they were saving themselves for saturday...

Is the right answer.

[carl_feedthegoat]

Some of those players out there today have ZERO chance of playing on Saturday.

Stones will be lucky to get another game...period.

[City64]

Nice 3pts and class again from Merlin .
Otamendi and Stones what can we say apart from they are both way below the standard required for MCFC. Hopeless cb pairing exposed by mighty AFC Bournemouth .

[Beefymcfc]

For a scratch team in terms of partnerships, it was us controlling with a view to doing the least to ensure they’re ready for the weekend.

It sounds shit that we’ve only got 3 days to rest/plan for the weekend but Arsenal have even less.

[Pretty Boy Lee]

Stones and otamendi as a partnership would be lucky to start at any club in the pl now. Fuck they’ve gone to shit. I’m a system where fullbacks take risks, putting this pair between them is like cutting off a finger and jumping in a fucking shark tank.

[Mase]

Otter saved us at 1-0. Dunno why people are complaining

[Blueonblue]

An once again the hole in the defence is Stones, why does he always need a nap during a game !
