Quite. As has been said numerous times not helped by JV having a poor game…in the first half BG received the ball a few times in front of us in the SW corner but because he had so many Everton players to beat he played the safe option..looks like he’s much better on the ball when receiving it in motion and obviously with space to move into rather than from a static start..much like when Goodnight was first played out wide I think.
Completely reactionary post.
Not at all. I went to all 3 away games last week. I don't think we played that well at Ipswich but got a win and then a decent 2nd half against very poor Utd side.
And the players all looked very happy with each other during those wins.
Obviously!!
I see you have added more!
I think this is a decision the club need to make, do we keep the players and crack on, or do we sell for profit. I respect what the club do to keep us sustainable, but the reality is if we sell we are never going to consistently stay in that top 6.
16 shots is creativity. I said we only had one on target, so couldn’t finish.
Knee jerk is reacting to the latest incident (game) without looking at the overall picture.We have different interpretations of knee jerk. To me, it’s reacting without thinking something through. I have thought through my reactions to yesterday and there is nothing knee jerk about having the opinion that the team underperformed all over the pitch as did the coaching staff tactics and set up. It is an opinion, nothing more. You were happy with what you saw, fair enough.
Your comment and others too, suggest to me, that because an opinion differs to yours it’s “knee jerk”. A little patronising and condescending imo
I don’t care that we had three good results previously, just makes yesterday even more annoying
I agree . . . I don't suppose were in the majority, but we're going backwards with Dunk now. He's never been the sharpest tool in the box and he's not as quick as he was, which was never fast. I'd have rather seen Webster or Igor start yesterday. Both can carry the ball which may have drawn an Everton player or two in and created some space. Or at least played the ball forward before sunset.
Gruda is class and needs some time. He looks like he has a lot of actual potential.
There you go again, I HAVE looked at the overall picture and yesterday was an unacceptable performance, regardless of what went before! They happen I know but that doesn’t change the fact that it was. Absolutely nothing knee jerk about it.
I just hope Bournemouth are setting themselves up as the favourites for some Summer time cherry picking rather than us for a change. Every cloud….But it's this model of buying young and selling that has got us into the upper half of the Premier. As we progress we can expect to hold onto players a little longer and pay a bit more, but we can't and will never be able to compete financially with the top 6, so we have to find another way
Yup Bournemouth will become a Brighton mk2. Teams will buy their players and take their managers. And they will treat them with a lot more respect during matches. You’d imagine they’ll lose at least one of their CBs, their left back, probably Semenyo this summer. Maybe even the manager. So they will start facing the challenges we do.
