Quote from: Three Spires Villa on August 17, 2019, 05:22:53 PMProblem is this result puts pressure on other games. We needed point(s) from this game. Yes it is early, but I don’t think we will beat Everton, so onto Palace, scaryWhy can’t we beat Everton..? I think they had 2 shots on goal against Watford today..Just my opinion, I think they will be better than Bournemouth, obviously hope I’m wrong and you are right.

Combined.Maybe the solution is to play them together. Would rip up the Dean Smith blueprint of pretty much his whole managerial career. Guess 3-5-2 is feasible with the squad but didn't he rule that out in pre season at a fans forum?

Quote from: ChicagoLion on August 17, 2019, 05:21:26 PMThe real fear is that Wesley is not dynamic enough for this level, Look at the movement and pace of Wilson and King who were feeding off scraps.El Ghazi did very little again so I am struggling to see where the goals are coming from.Is the expectation really that he would hit the ground running and resemble someone with a few seasons in this league under his belt?

Quote from: SoccerHQ on August 17, 2019, 05:20:26 PMWhat needs to be remember is regardless of how big their ground is and their history Bournemouth are a very streetwise premier league team now, this is their fifth straight year in the division.This is a point I was making at the beginning of the season. A lot of people were saying 'we'll have too much for teams a, b, c, x, y and z' based on absolutely nothing - certainly not based on anything our players might have proved. A lot of the so-called lesser teams in the PL are just as SoccerHQ describes Bournemouth. They know the league, the opposition and each other a lot better than our managers and players do. This was always going to be a very tough season.

Played quite well, but absolutely nothing up front. Wesley isn’t ready for this league, and we have nothing else.
I thought we played alright to be honest and probably deserved a point. Like the Sheff Wed's game last season or whenever it was, their early goal killed it. Take that away and I think the game would have evened itself out and possibly finished a draw.
