Sorry the post is late up.

After what feels like an age since we limped past Burnley, we're off to the seaside to take on many peoples favourite second team, Bournemouth.

All hussle, bustle and high intensity, Iraola's mob are the modern watch word for modern style, and there is plenty to be concerned about with talented forwards and great energy in the side.  But they've lost the last two, comprehensively against Villa, and if there is a good time to play them....maybe it's now.

After the last international break, Nuno went full Looney Tunes....let's hope for a modcum of sense this time around.

Predicted Lineup:

Hard to see beyond a team similar to the last few games, but with Paquéta suspended, all eyes will be on who replaces him from a squad devoid of any real creative influence.

No doubt the temptation will be to shoehorn Soucek into the side, but against the high energy Cherries, it surely has to be Magassa, with Fernandes pushing forwards.Subs: Hermansen, Mavropanos, Igor, KWP, Soucek, Irving, Kante, Guilherme, Earthy

Predicted Score:  A desmond.....2-2  (Willson, Soucek)

COYI

The fact that the team who went off at half time was not in big trouble and had a two goal lead.

That alone doesn't justify any change whatsoever.

All subs were made to protect a lead instead of hurting Bournemouth any more.

So instead of passing upwards we dropped deep and saw 80% of the ball going to Bournemouth. One point gained was down to pure luck.

Capitulation. Cowardly. Amateurish

Should also remember we were without Paqueta and Summerville. Bowen was having to keep the ball on his own given Soucek can’t pass a a few yards. We’ve at least learn Guilherme won’t make it. Earthy should have been on for him but I don’t think KWP instead of Guilherme made us worse!

What I find weird is that when he brings on KWP on the left, he plays him ahead of Diouf... whereas I'd always opt for Diouf - the faster and better crosser- in a more forward position and KWP, the better defender - deeper

 

I had to scratch my eyes with Fullcunt came on. I know we are desperate for a striker, but after that sausage muncher came out and said he is fucking off in Jan, he shouldn't be seen anywhere near the first team.

Kilman has the attention span of a goldfish.

A classic case of believing the agent and press speculation that someone is good rather than doing the homework yourselves over a long period of time to make a better judgement. 

Nobody was in for him...at that price, those wages and length of contract. 

Sullivan = Governor Le Petomane from Blazing Saddles








 

While I agree that we should have kept at outlet on (you always should), had that dopey wanker Kilman not handballed it, we very well might have won. 

Annoying throwing away a 2-0 lead, but had we been offered a point beforehand we likely would have taken it. Likewise if someone said before Newcastle we’d get 7 points from the next three you’d have laughed.

Fucking hell, Nuno lost it again yesterday. What a fucking dickhead. He's fucking mad if he thinks a shit defence like our will successfully park the bus for an entire half.

As for Kilman and Fullkrug, I don't want to see either of them in the shirt ever again. Pair of cunts. 

Talk about Roberto, McKnight, Jack Wilshere, fucking Kilman is the worst signing EVER in terms of money spent, the cսnt is absolutely shit, can we sue that cսnt Lopetegui for rinsing the club over on that useless piece of crap?

To do so because you're a fucking idiot with no balls is unforgivable.

He can fuck right off, this is him and it ain't changing, gutless shitcunt football  That Sean Fucking Dyche drove his car to a 3 win at Anfield speaks volumes about the crackhead.

The switch of Todibo with Kilman has definitely worked for Todibo. He was one of the few good standout performers and has been for the last 3 games.  Kilman in the other hand has not seen an upturn in performance and looks a liability at times.  A new CB in Jan would be handy. 

My opinion was also that we needed to strengthen midfield rather than 9 players in the deepest of low blocks camped in or just in front of our penalty area like “Custers last stand”.  Magassa is now the latest on the list of players that Im questioning why he’s not getting minutes?  Earthy will be next.

It’s concerning when the manager gets so much wrong in such a short space of time, compounded problems of his own making and should have taken responsibility in his post match interview.

Didn't realise that Areola is credited with an assist for Wilson's first goal?

What aggravated me more about the mindless Wilson Sub was then to see him trying to correct the errors of his ways by later subbing on that useless disinterested heap of shit Fullcunt.


Wilson already now has more goals than him.

Wilson - 10 apps - 4 goals

Fullcunt - 28 apps - 3 goals

I think the last time I saw us win a game sitting deep like that (I might be exagerrating) was an away game years ago when the oopisition were pumping balls in all day long with Ginge and whoever his partner was that day, just lapping it up and heading everything back out. To succeed you at least need players like that who can just nut it, and in Kilman, Todibo and Igor we just don't have that.  It may have been more sensible to have brought Soucek on for one of the centre backs!  However it was so windy I suspect even Ginge would have struggled to head it too far.  I just think keeping tight a few yards further forward would have been more sensible, keeping them too far out to shoot, forcing through balls that may have just run through too far caught by the wind and wet pitch.

Everton however could well be looking over their shoulder. Don't find them all that convincing.

Massive, I wonder if Sunderland might yet be in the mix for relegation. I believe they have eight players going to Afcon (albeit one of them is Arthur!). Promoted sides often have quite dramatic dips in form and they are only eight points above us. I think it’ll be Wolves, Burnley and Leeds who go down but I could I could well see Sunderland slide backwards. 

Surprised we went back to a back 3 when we’ve looked better with a 4
Expected Magassa to replace Paqueta or at least come on when we had no control in midfield 
You don’t defend by sitting people across the box & invite pressure
You need players like Fernandes & maybe Magassa & Earthy on the pitch to keep the ball
It was one way traffic in the second half. 24% possession overall, hate to think what it was for the last half hour
Defend by having the ball!

i think being 2-0 up he might have thought we can hang on without him. Especially as the conditions going the other way we’re going to make it a rally tough second half for us. 

if that’s the logic, I get it. Losing Wilson for a month right now would not be worth a win at Bournemouth is the equation I suppose? They must have all the data on him as well. Where nuno and Moyes differ is that Moyes flogs a player to death if it’s what he likes. Nuno seems to want to find options so he isn’t doing that. In some ways he’s even more pragmatic than Moyes. 
But it’s tough doing that in this league where player ability is obviously not equal at this level. It’s really risky. 

but his experience tells him that’s how you’ve got to do it. So that’s what you pay for with a coach, their mindset, their decision making etc. got to let him get in with it and see if we get the points in or not. That’s all that matters right now. 

 

2-0 and Nuno thinks it’s game over, fucking moronic. To say we dodged a bullet in the end is a massive understatement. Those second half decisions have only shown me that Nuno hasn’t learned anything when the lessons have been clear enough over the last couple of seasons. 
He said in his post match interview that we took advantage of the weather first half and Bournemouth did the same second half, well Nuno’s got shit in his eyes, that was a fucking dry rape second half, problems all of his own making. Don’t ever want to see that tactic again.
He gained a bit of credit with the last 2 games but massively shot himself in the foot with those last 45 minutes.
