I think a big issue for us was we struggled with the physical way that Bournemouth went about the game and that the ref seemed to be happy for them to get away with it. No major controversial instances just consistent low level fouling and disruption, especially on Bruno who got kicked every time he had the ball.

However one instance I really didn't understand was the Joelinton incident. Gordon got fouled, Bournemouth got he ball with Kluivert, Joelinton agriculturally hacks Kluivert down, the ref blows up and there is some pushing and shoving primarily between Joelinton and Kluivert. This results in Joelinton and Kluivert being booked but also the guy who originally fouled Gordon. So why did the ref allow play to go on initially after the foul on Gordon, with Bournemouth in control of the ball, if he ended up deeming it a yellow card offence?

On the game as a whole, I do think that we suffered from a bit of complacency due to our recent run of results. I think it was there second goal where Bruno got robbed in the 6 position. I thought he could have stretched and made an attempt at a tackle, failing that committed a foul and stopped the attack but he just allowed him to get away. I suspect he thought that it would be alright and it would sort itself out. It didn't and we went in to half time a goal down just as we were showing some ascendancy. I suspect the result may have been different if we had gone in level. Not laying the blame solely at Bruno, I just think it was representative of our overall performance - expecting things to sort themselves out without putting that little bit extra in.
