Yes, so well done to their manager? Now we need to see what we do.

We were all Over them and looking good for 20; Howe changed it and they took control over the next 15... that’s leaving 10 minutes to half time. If I was Talph I wouldn’t have made any major change at that point. Ride it out and talk to the players at half time.
 
Id take romeu off. He cant play how he want to play with a yellow card. Try and get back the midfield and play like we did in the 1st 20 mins as some of the play was fantastic

Give over Tom. For 15-20 minutes we were excellent and could have been 3 up. Their manager made an excellent tactical change and they gained control. We still should have scored at 1-1.

It’s a two horse game and they took the second half of that half. It can happen.

It's been really open game, so I'm not shocked that one team could dominate for 15 minutes, then get dominated for 15 minutes.

I will say though, that IMO the way the game is playing out favors Bournemouth, so I think we need a tactical change at HT even if we weren't nearly as bad as some here think.

The break away goal again highlighted our lack of pace in the midfield.
Once you get goal side of JWP, Pierre and Romeu they ain’t gonna catch you, unless the attack stops.
 
Ralph now with a back three of Bednarek, Stephens and Bertrand. Valery RWB and Targett LWB.

JWP into the middle with Hojbjerg with Redmond, Ings and Long ahead of them.
