What a pathetic half

Usual stuff really. Front 3 couldn’t create a fart in a curry house, midfield all over the place.

Replace Martial with a stool.

Human or wooden, either would be better.

Winning this, Antony our brightest forward, Maguire saving the day...

McBat doesn't work as a midfield

Martial is dirt

Not a single person said that, but carry on pal.

If hojlund doesn’t play, May aswell play The Scottish Player upfront and stick Mainoo on in CM. The Scottish Player is useless unless it’s in the box

Martial is just utter shit. He shouldn’t play for us again

Think that front 3 will up the tempo in the second half. Some bad boy goals incoming, you man better strap in cos it’s gonna be a wild ride! Madness about to be done!

Whattttt

The effort is there, the ability is not

Martial has a total lack of awareness. Always on the back foot when the ball is played. Unable to anticipate anything other than a ball played directly to his feet.

This too. A lot of the players aren’t good enough. We will see pretty much this till the end of the season. Sometimes they’ll be ok and win other times they won’t.

Theres no real consistency because the players just aren’t good enough.

Regullion showing why he is a Tottenham loanee. Decent energy , absolute shite final ball

He’s lowering the opposition team’s expectations. Once they’re lulled into a false sense of security, BANG! The tiger pounces!

It’s classic Sun Tzu.

Agree. Martial offers nothing. Absolutely nothing.

And I know what I'm talking about in that department.

They look like scoring again before we do. Our final ball is dreadful. And it seemed every chance they had came from The Scottish Player messing up. His goals are killing us. Mainoo maybe? Maguire amazing

Sums up our game. We huff and puff and can’t create shit today.
Bournemouth attack twice and penetrate our whole team and create actual chances

it's not flat. there's been a lot of hard work and determination. what there hasn't been is a final ball like the one for the bournemouth goal.

nacho had a lovely chance to cross, but doesn't know how. sergio has put a couple of high balls in for no reason. we've had ten chances to play a good final ball and no one has. a couple of times, martial should have gone near post but just hung around in the middle where he can't be hit.

it's not flatness at all. it's the shit way we play. but a lot of our build-up play has been good. dalot, shaw, maguire, reguilon, the bat, bruno... all playing well. it's a lack of awareness, strength and quality that is costing us, not "flatness". it's more rip-roaring than flat.

ETH needs to make a change. The current XI don’t have it in them to change it around. Needs to make subs now

Duplicate post

Anyway, 3-1 Bournemouth.

Sub Martial for no one. Send a message. Total £#%&!ing shit@#%&!
