Stats

They had 10 men in the box yet they have had over 13 shots. Don't try and excuse Mourinho for this. It is shocking on the team and him but he can't inspire us to victories unsless it is by a single goal like Norwich. Not good enough. He needs to fuck off from here. Can't wait to see the votes of this thread change. Anyone wanting him at the club after this have seriously been brainwashed the same way he has brainwashed our team in to playing shit football for a whole now.

Yeah, people will certainly see sense after this. Clueless manager who has no clue how to take us forward. Don't even know why the club have persisted with him for so long. He is ruining us. Hazard does not even have a goal this season. Has he come bad over night or is his style of play being ruined by an inadequate manager? I know which one I am sure of.

Really can't be put up with his awful style of football. Can't wait until he has gone. So uninspiring. Approaching 75 mins and still 0-0 at home to Bournemouth and with the way it is going, probably will end that way. Shambolic. Mourinho just does not know how to play attacking football with the players at his disposal.

We play better with him in the team my ass!

Shambolic. No one has been good. Pedro the only one who actually looks threatening. Oscar just needs to drop out the team now. Does not offer anything. What does he contribute in attack? His pressing has not even been existent. Take him off and bring Costa on please. Mourinho is so use to setting us up in defensive displays that when we actually play a team we should be battering, the team does not have a clue. Bournemouth have actually had much more clearer chances than us. Embarrassing. The football is utterlly embarrassing to watch.

As well as what people have posted, just been seeing the twitter commnets and he has been getting rave reviews after his performance today. Went on the Bayern forum and seeing people saying how ineffective Lewa was today. Just shows how much progress he is making. Part of the first team this season to beat Bayern in all competitions. Fantastic!

He will get his first goal of the season today. I know it!

Up against none other than Lewandowski today :ph34r2: Great learning curve for him.

This is one game where I actually expect to see a convincing victory. Games like Norwich, could accept the 1-0 victory as the win was just important. We have some what of a decent spell with majority of our first team available. Bournemouth have 2 of their best players injured with long term injuries. Wilson especially is a huge miss for them. We should be looking to score a few this game. BTW, might not be everyone's cup of tea but I am quite sure Costa will start tomorrow. Will be a shame on Remy but he always seems to be either injured or unavailable when the perfect chance is there for him to start.

Partly because Ntep is injured and Sio has been suspended. Once they are back, it probably will be back to the bench. But, yeah 2 starts in a row. Goal to his name and even if he is not starting every game, he is getting minutes in a good league and still is only 18 years old. Got loads of time to be a success and I hope he is one here.

So Pacquiao and Jmarlow are the same person? If that is true that has actually shocked me but at the same time I should not really be surprised when you consider the fact that both said ridiculous stuff about Kane. Both defended Costa to the death. Both made excuses for KDB and Lukaku everytime they scored or assisted and there literally was not one disagreement between the two. Even on Matic, both constantly use to criticize him and never praised him. Even on Sterling thread, both were liking each other's post constantly and criticising him. Looks like he has been exposed now. Like Spike said, they just shared way too many agreements for it to be a coincidence. Basically, because Pacquaio knew some of his views were ridiculous he made different alias accounts to make it look like he was not alone in his views. Quite sad really. And yet there were people complaining about his ban.... So I was basically arguing with one person about Kane all this time Anyway let no more be said. Kane is quality. Might as well add that as it is his thread.

It helps in the long run because if we win that is 3 points and this type of game, Fabregas will be the catalyst to creating goalscoring opportunities. We visit Leicester, I would have him in a 4-3-3 formation but not in a 4-2-3-1. But this game I have him starting all day long. No need to drop him for this one as he will actually be a key player this match. I can guarantee you of that. However a game like Leicester I would rather Ramires play insetad of him, or if Fabregas is to play, have both of them playing in the same team. Obviously Leicester are much improved to last season, but he was quality in this fixture last season. Now if you want him out the team for Leciester I can understand. This game, not at all. We are much better than them and like I was saying his qualities will show in this game. I don't think Jose is even considering dropping him for this game and on this occasion I can understand that.

http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11668/10084875/tony-cascarino-says-jose-mourinho-was-right-to-drop-diego-costa I agree tbh. I think most people want/expect to see Costa out the team but I think Mourinho will play him. Really whoever plays up front should be scoring on Saturday. Bournemouth's defence is beyond awful.

Fabregas was poor against Spurs but like I was saying before the Norwich game, he would be one of my first names on the teamsheet for this type of game. We are going to dominate possession and games like this he will thrive in. It is against opposition that press us and are very phsyical that he struggles and should be left out. He should start this because he is our best passer and he will have a lot of time on the ball unlike the game against Spurs. Just look at what he produced against Norwich. Bournemouth with their current team right now are inferior to Norwich and I expect Fabregas to be even more of an influence.

He is more than good enough to be leading our line, United's or Arsenal's imo.

I don't understand how anyone can call Kane a fraud. It is like saying Hazard going over 20 matches without a goal is a fraud. But of course that statement is runnish because Hazard is a world class player. He just has not had the stats to back it up. For instance was our best player by far against Norwich and looked good today. But because he did not score or assist in either of those games, that means he is a fraud? Of course not, absolutely ridiculous. When watching Kane play, even when he has not scored, you can see what he brings. Work rate, excellent hold up play, excellent technical ability and generally has everything you want from a striker. Every striker has a bad run in form and he did and got over that and now is showing his true quality. And let's not forget that he will keep on getting better. Already in double figures for Spurs and 40 goals last season. All this by the age of 22 yet a certain someone or couple people think he is a fraud. LOL. Unbelievable

So he never scored today and that makes him a fraud? OK. LOL. You and Pacquiao are the same. No logic. Just splurt out utter rubbish sometimes. Just look at Kane's stats compared to Costa then tell me who the fraud or one-season wonder is. Ridiculous!

Erm, he scored 2 in this fixture last season. Do you think Costa would have done better? Maybe that is the reason he was left on the bench for a winger in his place. I knew it would be one of you or Pacquaio who would call him a fraud if he did not score. Absolute joke you 2 are, claiming he is a fraud. Can't beleive you. But Costa is still world class yeah?

I thought he done well tbh. Bar his shooting and timing of when to release the shot, I was pleased with his contribution.

I hear you but the forum would be shit with no form of banter at all. That is all I am doing. But, yeah I will keep that in mind in future mate. Yeah, big shame on Costa. His attitude was damn right shocking. If he actually warmed up, Mourinho may have just brought him in on but a player who shows no interest, why the hell should he come on? It is a shame. I think Mourinho will come out and defend him and actually say something down the lines of, he has no problem with what Costa did etc because he is a man who wants to play. I just hope they get over this because next week is a game really where if Costa starts, he can easily be getting 2-3. Same time, Remy deserves a start as well.

I do believe we can, I honestly do. It is a big task but look at our next fixtures for instance. Bournemouth at home. Leicester away. Leicester are doing fantastic but they will fade away soon and even though they are a big 14 points ahead of us, that is game I believe we can go there and win. So say that happend that is 6 points. Next is Sunderland. Alaways difficult to break down under Allardyce but at the Bridge I expect a win. That is 9 points. After is Watford at home. Doing really well they are but again, a game where I expect 3 points. If we win our next 4 which is very realistic that is 12 points. And that is before 2016 has even started. If that happens we will be just behind top 4 and there will be loads of games for us to rectify our form in 2016. I remember this stage last season when Southampton were around top 3 and a lot of people thought it was a certainty they would reach UCL. Come end of the season, they finished well away and Arsenal who were quite a lot of points behind them this stage last season, finished above them easily and got 3rd. We definitely can finish in top 4. We are just quite a way from there atm but like I was saying, we have quite a nice run of fixtures coming up where I believe we should be winning. Do that then hopefully the aim of getting top 4 looks more realistic.

Although he was poor, it says a lot about our system when he can play consecutive poor games for us but have 1 game for Spain and put on a masterclass. Our system is really messed up and no one quite has a clue on what they are doing or how to play.

How the hell are we even in a position to say we are happy with a point. Unless you have ruled out getting UCL football this season, then settling for a point is really strange.

Jmarlow and Pacquiao's excuse will be that it shows he has fight and hunger. Players like Lukaku will not do this because they lack the fight. But Costa doing that shows he wants to play. Had he not thrown a tantrum, it would indicate that he is not bothered about being in the team

I am glad we never lost but the lack of attacking approach is quite ridiculous. You would think watching the game that we are in Spurs position. We are not. We are 14th, 10 points behind Spurs. Good to be solid defensively but the approach of contain and just counter does not sit well with me. We need to realise we need to have our PL form of last season to even get top 4. We should of tried more to win the game. Important that we never lost but in reality does a draw against a team who has 10 points more than us and a decent run of fixtures ahead, bode well? Not really. Defence was good but again, the lack of width our FB provide is a real concern. Look how much times Walker got down or Azpi had to kick out for a throw in because it is on his weaker side. We really need natural attacking FB to get to a new level. As for Costa. Poor attitude. Did not bother to warm up pre-match like the rest or at half time. He deserved to stay on the bench with that attitude. Maybe if he did a warm up and showed that he is willing to be part of a team, he may have come on but Mourinho was never going to bring him on with his attitude then the bib throwing at the end in the direction of Mourinho summed it up. Happy we did not lost. Good point? Not really. Maybe it is just me but I am not pleased in the way we got a point and I don't see how it has proved anything positive because we are still quite away from top 4. On paper, we have some decent fixtures coming up and those games will say a lot.
