Team vs Bournemouth

[toptoon]

Interesting choice to set up to match them for shape and press in the same way they do. Lascelles having a good game at the back, and Shelvey showing some calmness and quality in the middle, but Diame seems to have reverted back to his old work-rate. Aside from the assist, Ayoze continues to frustrate. Kenedy also looking out of sorts. 2-0 up away from home, but still a lot of room for improvement. I would like to see Merino or Hayden on for Diama if he doesn't start showing a bit more intensity in the second half. Atsu for Kenedy too. Only alternative to Ayoze is Joselu, and that's the most likely change I think.

I think Kenedy isn´t getting much joy because Bournemouth are closing him down faster than our right, where Yedlin and Ritcie have had much more room. Let´s see if he gets any joy, second half.

VAR tech would've given them a penalty.

We look very strong defensively. They're having a hard time unlocking us.

Thought Shelvey knocked Dubravka out there

[Jammy89]

Perez should of scored that free-kick chance.

[Davearmy]

that had to be 3-0 man we should be 4-0

[Davearmy]

2-1 **** sake man

[HughieG]

Shelvey should have killed the game. Now it's wide open. Horrible 10 minutes to come.

2-1 **** sake man

Please god, we can't throw this away in last 15 minutes.

Although this us, so could see it

AM still having flashbacks of that Perez miss earlier that was easier to miss.
