***Bournemouth v Champions FA Cup Official Match Thread***

[zuricity]

How come Khuso can be carded for an innocent clash of two players . Yet Semenyo kicks out and fouls Khuso later and nothing happens .

[nottsblue]

A huge half time talk coming up

Our season depends on it

Go out today and I fear we drop off in the PL and miss out on CL

[zuricity]

Khusanov gets a soft yellow for running past his opponent. Then is brought down but no yellow. Two tier refereeing

We may be making mistakes but this ref is questionable. Bernie shoved in the back, play on ,khuso does the same , gets pulled up .no consistency

[blues2win]

Well that wasn’t very good was it. Haaland had three good chances including the penalty. Marmoush or Doku to come on? We need two goals from somewhere.

Is Bournemouth pitch the smallest in the history of football?

At the time of writing the biggest professional football pitch is Manchester City's pitch at the Etihad Stadium which is 116 yards (106m) long and 77 yards (70.4m) wid
105 metres by 68 metres or 115 yards by 74 yards.17 may 2023 Bournemouth pitch

Not that extreme difference. I guess it's an illusion given the camera is placed on one of the dog outs.

I think Pep is working against us at this point,

Only explanation for his continued selections is he wants a fat pay day.

He looks disinterested as well. Gave the feeling of being irked at having to leave his sun longer in Barcelona to come back early. for this.

What a pile of shit we have become hardly any chances created & those were wasted, probably better we lose this to save our fans the expense of a fruitless visit to Wembley

Need to get wingers on plus either gundog or kove off

[nottsblue]

Need to get wingers on plus either gundog or kove off

Thought those two were the best of the midfielders
Silva and Foden have done practically nothing going forward

[city72]

Need to get wingers on plus either gundog or kove off

Or silva foden kdb offer for moush

[Dub City]

Need to get wingers on plus either gundog or kove off

Or silva foden kdb offer for moush

I don’t think of any of them could have a complaint if they were taken off. No shape to the team. Looked strange on team sheet , looks shite on the pitch.

[john@staustell]

I feel they are destined to prolong our agony.

We will equalise, then lose on penalties

[city72]

Subs our best player

[nottsblue]

I feel they are destined to prolong our agony.

We will equalise, then lose on penalties

Pre game I thought that would be the outcome
Having seen the first half I feel that could be optimistic unless changes are made immediately

[stevefromdonny]

So 1 change why not bring doku on and nico

[blues2win]

Khusanov who was on a yellow is off OReilly on.

COME ON CITY!!!!!!!

[nottsblue]

Good run from Foden. Bit of intent

Get in Viking

[blues2win]

Good start from Foden decent save.

[blues2win]

ERLING!!!!!!! Assist from O’Reilly!

[stevefromdonny]

Haaland
