I watched that, an hilarious evening.

Why? They don't need him. They've already got pundits rightly pointing out that the B'muff goalkeeper was excellent. MOTM in fact.As I said, I’m sure you’re right. You should write to Sky Sports and insist that you get a job as a pundit.
Last rant for the night - if you don’t bring GM on when you are getting stuffed, why have him on the bench. I’m sure he would have done more than Trossard did, and maybe March and Connerly too.
We did score, the first 2 goals killed us being against the run of play.
Or spent that lot on one real quality striker

Blaming Webster etc isn’t the real reason we are so poor, we shipped out two strikers and gave Potter Maupay one Academy kid and a past it 38 yr old. On top against most sides for large periods can’t score. Potters tactics work mostly we just don’t have any quality to put the ball in the net.
Big Sam? You mean the one who was so greedy for money when England manager that he fell for a setup by an investigative reporter?
That really is a shocking amount of money. Would add Andone to that list as well. Only Bissouma i would not include because i still believe he is class given a run in the team.
Potter whilst sucking through his teeth will give a bollox interview will **** all content as usual.

Bournemouth scored - twice in quick time, unfortunately - against the run of play. Why try and pretend it wasn't?I can't believe the amount of fans thinking that both goals were against the run of play. Before they scored the first, they d just had 3 decent efforts from poor defending from us. Yes we had all the possession before that but they did more in those 5 mins before they scored than we did with all our fecking possession up to that point. They didn't score against the run of play ffs! Howe just did his homework and knew to sit deep to begin with and let us have the ball as he knew we'd struggle to do anything with it
Big Sam? You mean the one who was so greedy for money when England manager that he fell for a setup by an investigative reporter? And you'd want him as Albion manager? Do you not think that his lack of professionalism (to put it mildly) and integrity rather excludes him from a senior role in management of any club?
It was evident to me that essentially we seemed to lack a goalscorerer upfront this evening. Yeah, I know Maupay had one brilliantly saved but given the amount of possession in the first half there seemed to be a dearth of shots on goal.Would Glenn have done better? I was stunned at the speed with which Bmuff ripped apart the Albion defence. Seemed to me that the fault lay with the midfield.

Yep spot on one ball over the top and we turn to mush, personally think Webster would make a better midfielder then again I’m not a coach or a manager.I have sympathy with the argument that Potter isn't blessed with quality forwards. The first half sums up the problems neatly. We spent 30 minutes looking pretty but powder puff in the final third, bar one chance (Mooy to Maupay, saved). The AFCB pressed and took over for 10 mins. In that time, they scored 2 and should have had another 2.
So on the one hand, we don't have the firepower to take advantage of our long spells of control. On the other, when we lose control, our defence turns to complete shit. It was laughable, for 10 mins they looked like pub players up against Man City. Even against Villa, the pattern wasn't too dissimilar, except Villa's forwards are even worse than Bournemouth's.
