Hmmmmmm…. I didn’t expect to win today and thought we’d struggle to get a point, but am leaving disappointed that an opportunity was missed:
1) Bournemouth are very very well coached and set-up. Proper Technical players and a Technically drilled system. They are able to switch between a deep setting to a pressing right up on the opposition effortlessly. Yet if we had played better individually and as a team, eradicated the errors, The Cherries weren’t in top gear and there was a point there. Without doubt.
2) Walton will rightly get pelters for an appalling error, never ever try and do that in the Premier League, that is a top striker he’ll see that dummy a mile off. Plus you executed it terribly. He looked very shaky. BUT, and this is the BIG thing, for how poor Town were in moments and individually in ball turnover, Diop, Outattara, OShea and Davis did keep a very good front 4 out. We could have easily have capitulated.
3) Bournemouth are very athletic and hence we experienced a press all around the pitch and it didn’t tire (even with their European exploits), and their press was forcing errors and turnover all over the pitch, Palacios was making rare errors, Diop made multiple misplaced passes, Davis and Jaden were fenced in. Having said that Town had more possession first half and were not a million miles off turning the higher posession into threat, Maeda having some joy and threatening. But not enough shots.
4) Perhaps it’s time to switch the number 9, Emersonn was trying. Had a few moments but the lay-offs to day were too speculative or loose. Flemming hasn’t look great off the bench of late. But deserves a start to try and stake a claim.
5) The ref was poor, Bournemouth did use the dark arts a little, trying to kill momentum with some slow kick taking and going down. That double pull on Flemming when the box had opened up late on was so frustrating- an orange card.
6) Florentino was a bit of an enigma, some very good moments, but then some loose play. As I stated on another thread, if Lukic is not fit enough to come on today, he can’t go away with Serbia. End of. Matusiwa has looked the part, and must be close to a role.
7) Jack Clarke completely transformed us. I don’t think Jaden was terrible as some will say. But he and Enciso had left their shooting boots at home and that was one of the crucial factors in that game,
8) Town fans were rightly subdued by the Walton error, and then the soft goal at the start of the second half. But did fire up as Town cranked the pressure second half. A spell of decent pressure that continued into 9mims of injury time, But there were just not enough clear chances.
9) Ouatarra was maybe MOTM, and his link up with Fatawu was a highlight when he joined the fray. Fatawu needed at times keep going into heart of the box.
10) The game was more evenly matched than expected, and that is a positive. Yes they did outclass us for periods, but through this season we’ve been competitive in games. BUT town made some glaring errors, and the Cherries did not. And that was the difference,
Frustrating but far far from catastrophic. Spurs will be an easier opponent than The Cherries, recent improvements aside. [Post edited 8 Nov 18:06]

Really concerned with flemming. Reminds me so much of joe piggott. |  |

Defence amd keeper situation is a concern. A big concern.
But we also now look a quality striker light as well.
I like Emmersonn- but we need goals from our striker. |  | | |

Emersonn didn't have his best game today & unsurprisingly he was replaced by Flemming after less than an hour. Overall, he's done well & I'm less concerned at his lack of goals as from what I've seen, he isn't missing sitters. |  |

The back four and players in front of them are able to soak up large amounts of really decent pressure and set pieces. We feel much more solid than the last Prem campaign.
But then we are having these multiple individual errors all the time - Walton today, OShea at Hull.
Now I know that means our defence is therefore not effective.
But I almost feel it’s not a system issue nor in part personnel - it’s just concentration.
But the keeper is a concern. We perhaps needed to give Scherpen more time. | |

Hahahaha, I don't think you remember how bad Piggott was mate.
Flemming also has a pretty good record at scoring in the Premier League!
We pretty much got screwed over by a Walton brainfart and a somewhat fortunate goal for them at the start of the second half.
Walton has had a handful of 'Raya/Neuer etc would have saved that' moments. The problem is Schepen also looks a bit dodgy.
On the plus, Ouatarra and Palacios are going to make us a pretty penny! |  | | |

Flemming had 1 goal scoring prem season
Piggott at the time had one great season at the level we signed him for | |

That's probably because he's hardly ever in on goal to miss them in the first place. Very much a " work in progress ". How far that progress goes is difficult to judge. I have my own opinion on it, but he gets till the end of the season from me to see if he can do it. I've been disappointed with Flemming too, considering I thought he'd be a good buy for us at a sensible price, maybe I was wrong, still early days. We do have one player in the squad who has proven really effective ( his record proves it when playing there ) at playing no 9, for both Celtic and Japan. Maybe he should get a shot at it, the others are doing very little right now. |  | | |

A bit harsh he's hardly had a chance with very limited game time. | |

How many appearences is needed to show something? | |

Great points and honest assessment, I also thought without shooting ourselves in the foot extremely early into the game we could have gone on to gain a precious point , after all they are a team in form and we made they day too easy too early …….we move on . | | | |

Frimmers he’s been good off the bench 2 or 3 times, Palace and Everton for example.
I’m not sure coming off the bench suits him.
Judge him once he’s been given a couple of starts. | |

| Point 11 - board needs a little perspective - 8th cherries win in a row… on 19:06 - Nov 8 | unstableblue |
… that is remarkable.
And they will be one of the best sides this season.
And let’s face it bar some stupid errors and shooting boots left at home, it was even (well sort of) [Post edited 8 Nov 19:08]

Il agree on that, some ayers can't get into it off the bench and it passes them by, I was hoping he would start today only way to judge him, |  | | |
