Bournemouth v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Halfway to Moseley]

I think every game's going to be like this until McGinn and Tielemans return.

This is my fear.

Maatsen playing as a winger?

I fwe don't win we really need to make sure we don't lose.

Watkins 0/10 today.(just to gee him up for the last 10)

[Sexual Ealing]

If Watkins can't keep possession the very least he could do would be stay onside from a long ball, try and relieve a bit of pressure.

Being offside is actually vital for the way we play.

Why have we become a rag-bag outfit?

Our best three midfielders are all injured.

Yes, this has absolutely borked our season by the looks of it. That and throwing away 6 points in the last two home games versus a couple of shite teams.

Same thing isn't it. Been an obvious step change and I doubt we'll be putting any serious form together between now and at least April. Need to scrape results and stay in the top five/Europa.

We’ve had absolutely no threat this half. Feels odd after the season we’ve had. Injuries or not

[PeterWithesShin]

Emi!!!

[olaftab]

We have become the total opposite of pre Christmas team.

[KRS]

Bournemouth totally in control and dictating this.

[ChicagoLion]

We are being battered

Yeah. It was always going to be that way. It's such fine margins at this level - no team is going to be able to dominate in that situation.

Look at what happened to Man City when Rodri got that bad injury  - they ended the season trophyless and lost five in a row at one stage, having previously been practically invincible.

And that was just one player.

What hasn’t Tammy come on to at least change things up in attack? This isn’t going to end well is it?
