***City v Bournemouth Official Match Thread***

[patrickblue]

Glad I didn't read this thread as the game was on. Christ lads, it wasn't that bad.

Haaland busy, got himself about, fluffed his chances but calling him lazy is weird. He put a shift in, it just didn't go right for him today.

Guehi surprisingly good in that role. Missed a sitter like erling but that was his only bad mark.

Anderson needs a proper midfield partner though. Impossible to judge how he'll be after today. Needs some energy next to him.

Semenyo very good but little end product. Foden lost on the wing, better when inside but clearly not match sharp.

We looked far better when nunes was on. Most improved player by far, he needs to be starting every week unless we buy a dedicated top right back.

Khus ball watching at times but grew into the game. Will only get better. Nico looked solid but needs to iron out the brain farts.

But Dias is a huge concern. All over the fucking place. Passing wank, decision making wank, positional play wank. Was hoping last season would be a wake up call for him, and aye it's too early to judge off one game but he just looks like a proper space cadet atm.

The team looked good, we attacked well once we shifted a few roles around but our midfield really needs completing and our defence finalising.

Enzo made good positive changes, Bournemouth are far better than that shithouse performance and the ref is a paedophile.

Pretty much as I saw it tbh.

Was there a tribute to Kevin Keegan today?

Yes

Turned it off when Kovacic was about to be subbed on. Saw an hour and quite honestly I was bored a lot of the time. I think that’s partly down to how football is now played by and large. Teams just defending and hitting hopeful punts upfield.

Our midfield was diabolical. Literally from the best midfield in the league/world to this. We got out of jail today, make no mistake. And against better, more adventurous opponents we will get punished.

One game in but honestly I cannot see us winning the league. Not that I thought we would but that side today was criminal. Lewis and Dias?

We will be scrapping it out for CL places and unless the recruitment we do before the transfer window closes hits the ground running, it’s not a gimme.

Hahahaha I swear I turned it off and missed the goals - you fuckers can thank me for this win !!

Gillingham all over again !

Thank you? How about you log out from the forum on match days?

would've been 8 nil to us. Baldie 2 is temporarily saved!

Were you one of those that left or started to?

To this day I can't get my head round that, watching droves leaving and me thinking why.... your coaches home aren't going anywhere

Guilty as charged .
I was living in Spain flew over - I was teary eyed leaving the stadium as I couldn’t handle it - I ended up in the Hilton hotel by the side of the stadium ( I think it was the Hilton ) and ended up celebrating in the bar .

Now if only Hinchcliffe would fuck off

Just reading the thread back and couldn't agree more. Absolutely annoying twat who seems to hate us despite playing for the club. Bit like Quinn's commentary in the past.

Thought Guehi was surprisingly effective in midfield but he should be next to Khus in the back.

Seems obvious what the team should be going forward, so Marescas lineup next game will be telling

It's the constant, condescending whinge. Should've done this, shouldn't have done that etc

Guehi was quality.

[john@staustell]

If he plays Lewis, it's 'Baldie out'

[Mase]

Cherki changed the game

[Nickyboy]

cherki literally our best player, proves it yet again, will be back on the bench next game 100%.

He was due to start but was a doubt according to Enzo post match. He'll be a key player this season no doubt

[Nickyboy]

Funny old game

Serves the dirty cunts right

Exactly my thoughts too

x3 horrible that of a ref deserves to fall off a cliff as well

It's a pattern with that Jared Gillet twat

The guy is useless

[Scatman]

Crying out for a midfielder who can drop back to take the ball off the defence, and do something creative with it.

Enzo Fetnandez?

Crying out for the manager to pick the starting eleven correctly. Playing Rico from the start was plain stupid. Another game where Rico was completely out of position and not marking his man for their first attempt and goal.

Are Forest still interested in Rico.

Pretty much as I saw it but I thought we were bang average. Dias made alot of mistakes. Lewis I thought had a decent start but faded rapidly. cherki and Nunes made a big difference. If Haaland and Guehi hadn't missed sitters it would have been different
