We’re being a bit too sloppy/lazy off the ball currently so WH are still in this.

WHAT A FUCKING GOAL That was Man City like!

Still no Lavia and no natural RB. So I expect our right side will be heavily targeted by WH and aggressive pressing in midfield. So much for both Maresca & Lavia himself saying right after his injury that it was super minor and he’d be back very soon. 😔😔😔

Did anyone even ask about Lavia? I don’t see any quotes about his availability. How tf can these journalists not even ask? If he plays I think I’ll be somewhat confident. If not I can see Michael Antonio wreaking absolute havoc on our entire defense. Without that screen in front of them helping and also helping the other midfielders I think we’re really struggling in this one.

It’s as impossible to predict how we will perform as it is to predict what our XI is going to look like. If you tell me that Lavia and Enzo are back and straight into the midfield with Caicedo and I’ll feel pretty confident. Likewise if Malo Gusto is back so we NEVER have to watch Disasi at RB again.

Been so long since Reece had a long spell in the team that I honestly nearly forgot about him. It’s sad to say. It genuinely feels as though Malo Gusto is our #1 RB these days because RJ is injured 90% of the time.

Arse didn’t do much of anything all match long but Spuds are so blunt in attack that it didn’t matter. Spuds never looked like scoring at all. They have so many bang average players in their best XI.

Arse’s attack looks pretty bang average without Odegaard in there pulling the strings and orchestrating everything. Very predictable and relatively easy to defend. Spuds don’t look that convincing either.

Both Colwill & Fofana almost played like teenagers in that first half and until Tosin came in. They’re both super talented but take too many naive risks. Then for the final 30 minutes or so they didn’t really put a foot wrong and looked good. Just like the Wolves match a few weeks ago. They looked all over the shop and then second half looked amazing.

What we desperately need now is Lavia back for some control in midfield. It’ll help settle the defense and it’ll help link the attack together. Also makes Caicedo’s job much easier and I thought even today with a new midfield partner Moi looked fantastic for the most part. He was everywhere.

Saved by Sancho. Saved by Sanchez. Sanchbros.

Tosin is immediately a MASSIVE upgrade in the defense. Much calmer, much better passing it forward.

We are getting completely dominated by fucking BOURNEMOUTH. Look at the talent in that side compared to ours and this is a disgrace.

He is the worst ref I’ve EVER seen. Good lord.

We’re so poor we can’t even get the ball to ANY of our attackers.

The ease with which we get passed through is so fucking embarrassing.

Maresca said he’s almost ready. And we desperately need him.

Caicedo + Veiga in CM is extremely limited and not a combo I ever want to see again. Veiga should ONLY be a CB or LB. We need someone who can get on the ball and break the press.

We look just awful from front to back. So many ridiculous misplaced passes.

Anthony Taylor has been DESPERATE to fuck us over here and now he has.

You know there’s a massive lack of quality at the back when a tiny club like Bournemouth is instructed that they can pen us in deep.

Zero creativity in the middle of the pitch at all with Enzo and KDH both out. And Disasi is a calamity at RB.

I wonder if Nkunku is starting to get annoyed/upset that he’s not starting at all much. He was meant to be one of our superstar attackers and now seems more like a squad player which certainly isn’t what he signed up for.

Southampton dominate for the first 30 minutes, miss the penalty, and it’s now game over. Damn.

Btw, how do we STILL not have a fucking long term shirt sponsor 2+ years into this ownership?
