Talk Bournemouth

tom.procter11d ago

No need for panic stations just yet, tricky fixtures and been a bit unlucky. Could do with getting that first league win relatively soon though

dantowen8195112d ago

I think the performances have been better than the results. The issue is far too many late goals and shipping points See the Newcastle game for example. Drew that 2-2 and should’ve been 4-0 up at half time

freddie12d ago

He hasn’t changed too much from Iraola so think it’s not been too bad! Were unlucky with 2 late goals vs City and then another vs Everton! Could very easily have 4 more points at the very least… nothing to worry about IMO

kyle.dimond16d ago

Even in the sketchy moments you think, to come away with a draw in one of the tougher games would be fantastic. To get the win, just so impressive. Massive moment for Rose too

daviescallum4216d ago

What an incredible football club, nothing but massive admiration and jealousy for all they’re achieving

antonymmartin8417d ago

What a result. Top team Bournemouth. Again, evidence of how strong the PL is compared with La Liga. Outside of Barca and Madrid, it’s an incredibly weak league now

daviescallum4222d ago

He’s had a tricky start, and got really unlucky, but seems to have kept Bournemouth playing good stuff

dantowen8195122d ago

Solid. Clearly not that much of a downgrade, if indeed he’s a downgrade at all. Bournemouth will be absolutely fine

kyle.archer26d ago

Bournemouth could not have asked for much more from their win over Lincoln. But Gannon-Doak did not have the best night - too often second-guessed himself in the final third.

jonathan.gorrie26d ago

Too obvious to say Christie? Must be nice to not concede an own goal too!

jonathan.gorrie29d ago

Unlucky at times but the poor finishing was no doubt as annoying as the late goal concession!

kyle.archer32d ago

Bournemouth clearly need to work on defending set-pieces still. Guehi punished their front-loaded zonal marking in Man City's comeback win, and Tarkowski punished Bournemouth for having the wrong players at the back post in Everton's comeback draw.

jonny36d ago

Actually think this is a decent result, Everton look good

callum_boyle36d ago

Disappointing but no need to panic. Big adjustment from Iraola days

kyle.archer39d ago

Out of all of the Round 3 ties, Bournemouth arguably got one of the least interesting matches. But given that Bournemouth's European tour starts at the same time, this is perfect for Marco Rose

kyle.dimond37d ago

He’s key and I feel like his value is only going to go up. Would be great for Bournemouth to keep hold of him. Absolutely huge

jonathan.gorrie39d ago

So jealous of a team who say their players aren’t for sale and actually mean it 😅

shamanth.jayaram39d ago

I think Chelsea will come back for him late in the window after Enzo joins City. Another £80-90m in the bag for the Cherries

eoin42d ago

Threw the Game away with a couple of errors, but a promising performance against a solid City

jonathan.gorrie42d ago

Not a disaster but far too passive at the end there!

kyle.dimond46d ago

I think that’s about fair. Expecting a drop off but still kept a bunch of key players so far and got a good coach in

freddie46d ago

Still think will be pushing Europe! Maybe about 8th/9th

dakir.thanveer47d ago

All depends on Marco Rose. He has that "mid-table club tries to bring in young progressive coach and fails miserably" vibe about him, but it's Bournemouth and their decisions are usually spot on

dantowen8195148d ago

Such a solid side this. Hill was superb last season, might be the most underrated CB in the Prem

kyle.archer54d ago

This is highly likely to be the Bournemouth XI at the start of the season. But it would not be surprising if Adli takes over the LW role, or Kluivert moves out wide for Scott to play a more advanced role with Christie or Cook taking over the deeper role.

freddie58d ago

I still think it’s a little light! Not fully convinced by Evanilson and with Kroupi out, think more firepower is needed in the forward areas

kyle.archer59d ago

If Cook, Adams and Christie stay fit, there should be enough depth in the centre. But Bournemouth will need Adli and Gannon-Doak to make a step up to improve their left-wing output, and also need to see Soler progress to rotate with Truffert in at least the cups.

dantowen8195159d ago

I’ve been a big fan of Juanlu in the past. Not sure he’s an upgrade on Alex Jimenez but still a very exciting addition nonetheless Less convinced about Alvaro Rodriguez though - but still the squad looks as strong as last season

kyle.archer61d ago

Only six of those players are starters. Dennis, Diakite and Toth are not close to the first XI. Gannon-Doak will be on the bench. Aarons will be third-choice at right-back (if he is even still at the club).

ishaan.bhattacharya61d ago

Genoa is claiming it was a mixed practice and not a friendly lmaooo

freddie61d ago

Need a proper No.10 and then Tav back in the team and then it’s pretty good!

markmarston63d ago

Bournemouth just know what they are doing don’t they…. Probably be sold to Real Madrid two years lol

jonathan.gorrie64d ago

8. Brilliant move from Bournemouth

jonny67d ago

Should have taken 100m for him last month 😅

kyle.archer67d ago

Will Marco Rose let Enes Unal be allowed to play more than the final 10 minutes in a Premier League game now, unlike Andoni Iraola?

markmarston67d ago

Time for Rodriguez to step up… get him in ya FPL teams 👀

james.brooke67d ago

Dont understand why he ever went to Saudi

kyle.archer68d ago

Hardly a huge vote in confidence for Milosavljevic that Bournemouth could be looking at a young CB without a great early-career record

markmarston68d ago

Does this mean the Antonio Silva deal is off??

kyle.archer70d ago

Top eight should be the target in the Prem with a European tour to enjoy

dantowen8195170d ago

I don’t see any reason why they can’t challenge for 6th. Presuming Kroupi and Rayan both continue to develop at the same speed, they could get 25 Prem goals beteeen them

amirmir72d ago

Keeping hold of their big players is more important than new signings. They need to bulk up the bench more than anything else.

kyle.archer72d ago

The priority at Bournemouth is keeping hold of Kroupi and Scott. Having Kluivert back fit is also a big boost upfront.

dantowen8195172d ago

I hope Bournemouth aren’t just assuming that past success when losing key players doesn’t guarantee a successful future… One bad season is all it can take in an ultra-competitive Prem
