    Another poor pair of crosses from Rose and Aurier. Both need to shape up soon.

    The point is, if we had a solid back up striker, they'd get more game time, allowing Kane to be rested more often. Instead, he has to come on in cup games to rescue us from mediocrity and looks shot by Mid-March. Three years of this and we still don't learn our lesson.

    Wanyama's gone down and stayed down a couple of times already today. Doesn't look right.

    That last break of ours was typical of our attacking play. We get to into the box and instead of taking a shot, decide to pass it backwards and sideways. Umm... the goal's that way lads!

    1-1 HT. Started really, really poorly, but Bournemouth seemed to go to sleep halfway through.
    Need to come out a lot quicker and stronger after the break as that simply wasn't good enough.
    Our passing game hasn't been up to scratch and our crossing's been awful.
    Sanchez and Vertonghen need some help at the back too, as everyone else has gone missing.

    How can there be only 2 minutes extra? Kane's injury, other stuff.... Worst of all the ball boy doesn't give the ball back wasting time, the ref goes to the 4th official to tell him to have a word... and apparently doesn't add on any extra for all this, making the ball boy's waste of time doubly useful!

    D from me.

    Shocking first 25 mins and despite dominating possession since, we haven’t really troubled Begovic outside of the goal.

    Really **** first half in so many ways. Bournemouth should be beating us. Barely had a look in for the first 20 minutes, too much sideways passing, terrible crossing, and we look lethargic. To top it all off, Kane’s got an injury to THAT ankle again. At a pivotal point in the season. Really couldn’t have gone much worse.

    Earlier subs Poch, let’s see what Lucas is made of.

    Expect another burst from Bournemouth but they will then fade again as they did in the first half.

    <laugh> I had better get a head scarf and a crystal ball.

  19. Thought we started really well, but by the 2nd minute that changed....... <laugh>

    Having got back into the game, we need to keep that high press going. Defence still looks vulnerable to the pace of the Bournemouth forwards and worried that Rose will pick up another card.

    Great ball in from Aurier for the goal, but 1 decent delivery in 10 ain’t good enough. He has had so much space to work with as well.

    Jan looks absolutely shattered. Not surprising as he's played almost every game in every competition this year. Highlights the stupidity of selling our cover at LCB and not bringing in a replacement.

    The thing that annoys me about Rose is that we'll be lucky to get 50p for him at this rate.

    Kane going off was a blow and I hope it isn't too serious but tbh we were crying out for Lamela and have looked the better side since he came on. For once a decent substitution from Poch.

    Dembele another one who looks shattered.
