Fit enough for the bench you’re fit enough to start

We never seem to use subs to best effect

Totally agree

FFS Erling.

[PeterParker]

Well deserved.
We got exactly what we deserved today.

Let’s see if this week will wake up our manager.

[john@staustell]

Can't we do the onslaught about 45 minutes earlier?

[Sideshow Bob]

foden you are dead to me.

[Indianablue]

why did we wait til last 3 mins tp try and get a goal?

Complete shit show from us today and our poor performances continue .

[blues2win]

And yet Haaland really should have equalised. Foden missed a sitter too. Still well done the cherries. Off to Portugal to face Amorim. If we play like we did for most of the match we’ll get nothing from the match.

[Harry Dowd scored]

That’s it lost 2-1 poor all round. First time in history against Bournemouth

[blues2win]

Doku played well when he came on. Made a difference. Arguably should have been on earlier.

[nottsblue]

Tough game. Be very interesting to see who is going to play and what the bench will look like

It seems the International break is the return scheduled for a few of our injured players.

Will take any old scruffy win today given the circumstances. And I have a sense of foreboding that Bournemouth will get something out of the game thst I can't shake. They are long overdue a result from us and it could easily be today. They like to break quickly and as we've seen lately we are very susceptible to this

2-1 Bernardo

First time in a long time I got the score right

We have work to do

[Indianablue]

Agreed, poor team selection today Why was Rico Lewis not on from the start? Gundo or Walker should have made way for him . Gundo granted supplied the cross for our goal but did little else, so easy to by pass. Walker was out of position for both goals , if he was only 90% why not keep closer or hold back a bit.

Subs should have come on much earlier. Doku was a threat in last few minutes

Nunes looks to be putting a shift in and Gvardiol again did well to score Silva tried but Foden only showed up near the end .

This performamce has been in us for a season, it aint all about teams packing the defence. As someone said earlier lets wait for the Pep excuse .

Still only November but how the fuck are we near the top

[KinkyKinkladze]

Rico changed everything. Start him every week pep. Should have been him and O'Reilly in the middle from the beginning rather than kova and gundo.

Foden I love you but you're very much in danger of going the way of rashford and being a bum after a bright start. Fix yourself please.

Bernardo, josko, Eddie and nunes the only starters to come out with any credit today.

[Outcast]

Walker past it and should have sold
Gundo should be a 3 min sub
KDB should have been replaced with Wirtz
Akanji is not good enough
We should have signed a second striker and CDM

We've become commercially obsessed, it' feels like we forgot about the football team.

Don't be surprised we'll end up buying another deadwood for 50m

I get the feeling that will not be the last defeat in the near future. We have looked disjointed for awhile, the constant moaning about tiredness & too many games is self fulfilling. It’s bad for morale & is have a detrimental affect on the players. This doesn’t feel like a team that can finish top again. But you never know.

So do I mate

But I had a bad feeling about this game and it has been coming recently

Don't fall out with any of this, pretty much how i feel.
I wouldn't accept the 'will he won't he stay' bollocks that Pep is doing. Give him an ultimatum. From what i've seen Bournemouth have a decent manager .
Nightmare scenario we get Gareth Southgate
