Expecting a fast start from Bournemouth who need a win today.
Interesting match in so far as we have been way of our best for some time until the 70 minutes of last week. Important to see if we have got over any reaction from lat week and if we can find form again.
I think the recent events will unite the players. Lets hope we do not get another disgraceful ref today.
COYW!! 049:gif
We need a massive 3 points today. Liverpool lost, Brighton and Brentford playing each other, Chelsea can lose at Villa
I feel they will be very "minty".
Hoping Carlos in particular does well today.
Any streams?
And Bobbi needs another worldie.
any streams please
Long balls down the left, second one and AR is no where to be seen, needs to track back if he is goign to go AWOL

Bournemouth must have the worst support in the league, you can only hear our fans
Get in
YESSSSSSS!!!
Nice ball from Vini
If Marco saw red last match, why is he on the pitch?
YES!!! Great layoff
Wonderful wonderful football that
yes
Yeeeeeees
It's good
What a lovely team goal that is - kudos to Vini with that lovely through ball to Solomon as well
Tight offside decision but goal stands. Great start.
stopped the rot
I love Tete

Lets be fair it stopped against United but we imploded for no reason
3rd best on corners, wow.
so close Jedi

Because he has requested a hearing.
Great strike from Jedi. Unlucky it didn't dip another 2 inches.
Good game for the neutral at Brighton!
We need to capitalize on our domination
Coyg's !
Reading this on the Beeb worries me:
'Bournemouth are on the ropes.'
I think a second would probably kill any spirit they have remaining so we need to keep this up. We've currently got them where we want them though, which has surprised me
And rothwell is on the warpath....
Kevin McDonald scores
phew that was too close for their first shot.
Leeds losing
Periera looking hungry today.
Bit of showboating there....I'd have preferred 2-0.
We are too relaxed
loved the overhead kick attempt but would have preferred a shot.
diop so far forward
If we defend like a Championship team, we'll concede sooner or later

Agree - 0-1 up is not the time to showboat when you could have taken it down and either banged it in, or given it to the unmarkered Vinicius
Palace in real trouble if the Zaha injury is serious
half time leading 1-0 is great but I think we allowed them to come on to us and nearly paid the price. 2nd half we need our midfield to run this game.

Agree, we need to shut them out and make our possession pay off.
That bicycle kick miss could cost dear if a Bournemouth renaissance comes about here...
what a mess
Think the stream I linked has gone down, can anyone confirm?
Wake up
We need to keep on the front foot if we wish to win this match.
We cannot sit too deep and fanny around at the back, we are not good enough to do that.
A 1 0 nil advantage may not be enough.
1-1
of course, horse...
That's what happens when you sit back
What a strike ,
Inviting pressure and not getting out and they score a class strike
So much for our midfield shutting them out. Me and my big mouth!
I knew this would happen whatever the half time team
talk, it hasn't worked.
Surely they must have known Bournemouth would step up a gear and come at us.

Begrudgingly giving them some credit they have come out sharper and quicker this half, not sure it's all about us sitting back

We haven't shown the willingness to get out and move up the pitch, Vini Up top can't bring it down
Why do we sit back instead of building on our 1 0 advantage instead of sitting back.
We have to defend from the front not the back.
Cairney and/or Lukic needed soon. We must regain control of the possesion.

As i say I am giving them some credit for stopping us, as for Vinci that from what i can tell isnt has game, he is not a mitro type player. But i have faith in the team
Kavanagh flashing the red cards again.
someone let Fulham know the half has started...
Mine has gone too.
I would bring Cairney on now
They throw on two subs and we just look confused. Lucky not to be behind already in this second half. Come on wake yourselves up.
This is where we miss Mitro the most. His ability to receive the ball under pressure and to hold on to it is invaluable. At the moment we can't keep the ball.
Whatever the half time team talk was, every time we sit back
we concede.
Bournemouth are now in control and that is because Fulhams mindset was to think they can sit back and hold and invite Bournemouth on to us, and look what happens when we do
that.
Hanging on here.
different game now
Midfield changes urgently needed. No possession, poor ball retention and now we're under pressure.
We need to respond now. Bring some fresh legs on
We need the subs with fresh legs and get back control and not wait until they score again.
Silva has to be proactive not reactive.
We're playing league 2 football at best.
Vini needs to do something or id stick Duffy up top, at least he would win a header
Cairney and Lukic for Andreas and Reed needed asap.
if silva can be criticised it is his reluctance to make changes even when it is apparent things need shaking up.

I feel like we need two new midfielders. Maybe move Andreas to the wing like we did a couple of times.
I wish Jedi could cross

Agreed and it's an error of judgement, Silva should have more confidence in his subs, it sends out the wrong message.

Not quite sure about that, I only partly agree. TC is absolutely proven at this level especially this year in his role as a substitute, Lukic has the CV to suggest he should be good enough and Soares has played at the top level.
So he brings on TC fair enough. But James, hard to see how he will help.
I just can't see us scoring now, so key is to not concede

Agree on TC, he should calm the midfield down. The other two are a bit defenisve given we need to win this, from an attacking point of view Silva has nothing to bring on
Sky just said "Robinson delivers the absolutely perfect cross", that's one for the archives!

In that sense yes I agree, it's attacking options where Marco lacks most.
For a big guy Vinicius gets pushed around
Why bring on James and not Wilson ?

Not the lack of depth, it's Silvas mindset that can sometimes be negative, fortune favours the brave, having said that we seem to be weathering the storm and gaining back some kind of control.
Nevertheless we have to keep our composure and Silva needs to make important decisions one way or another.
We have to fight all the way to the end if we don't want to come home empty
handed.

Robinson mistake
We need to keep our composure and throw the kitchen sink
at them.
Vinicius is a donkey and we've been braindead in this second half.
Robinson so bad
Seasons been over since united
The problem is without Mitro we have no forwards
i dont think that was a fould from cairney he gets the ball first and that was a poor goal to give away

Robinson was pushed from behind into the ball. If we were Citi, they'd called a foul.

He is shocking - I do wonder if our system setup designed around Mitro is somewhat flawed if we want to push for top 8 or so. It lends to having poor backup on the bench, rather than two solid attackers.

Correct and spot on.
Didn think Tete was deserving of coming off unles sit was for an attacker, not for Soares.
Quote from: St Eve on April 01, 2023, 04:40:09 PM

Agruably having Mitro is also our problem, system designed on one man leads to no quality 2nd attacker. We need him back soon given we can't sign anyone till the end of season
Time to bin these mint kits. We've been pants in them every time.

No real intensity or aggression to our play. We were actually better with Reed on the pitch.
wheels have definitely fallen off. If we can't beat Bournemouth who can we beat now.

Lol very true, I did mean (as you know) an attack minded player
Guess if we're going to lose one of the games against the bottom sides I'd prefer it was this one, send a bigger club down.
Going to struggle watching Vinicius for his run of games for sure
Yeh mitro and willian really are a massive loss aren't they.
Dan James off the bench is painful and vinicious has been completely anonymous.
Tough loss against a team we should have easily dispatched.

Apparently a super star when he plays for Wales
Dan James looked useless pretty much every time he played for us. Don't know why, but he looks much better for Wales and other clubs.
When was the last time we played well in a league match, no surprise that we are losing!
Fulham have been milky on the pitch in the second half, and not proactive in the dug out.
That is why we are chasing the game.
Solanke hasn't scored this year but he always scores against us!
Done for the day so dissapointing
Bournemouth really have our number
It is as if we were shocked and paralysed into doing nothing in the second half. Well on top and I don't like how easy their subs chan ged the game while ours actually seemed to stem the tide for a bit. But very little positive.
Another poor show. We have lost all form and confidence.
ridiculous...
Roy working his magic
Palace scored. Uncle Roy doing it again. Probably finish above us at this rate.

Send Vinicius to the reserves, total dog poo. We must have someone we can stick upfront that cares

Vinicius could be used to clean Mitro's boots....
They aren't going to be getting dirty anytime soon .....so unlikely to make any impact in that role as well
How did a team that started by being completely dominant transform into relegation fodder?
We need to cash in on Robinson this summer. Can't cross for toffee, broke down so many attacks today. He has to show more desire to clear the ball on their second goal as well. Weak!
