A deserved undeserved win? - My thoughts on the Bournemouth game!

Don't ****ing care. We were robbed vs Sunderland, and outdone only by a great keeper vs Stoke.

Feels good to be on the other end of this crap for a change.

Thank **** we're out of the drop lads!!!!

But still, McClaren needs to bitch slap a few players because we were just molested by Bournemouth for 85 minutes.

Ratings -

Elliot - 9.5 - Kept us in the game. Excellent, not just at shot stopping, but also commanding the box. He seems to be far more confident commanding his box than Krul.

Janmaat - 5 - Not awful, but not as good as usual.

Mbemba - 7.5 - Some very solid defending in this game.

Coloccini - 8 - Quite a few very crucial interceptions and blocks today.

Dummett - 4 - Not as bad as usual, but still pretty bad.

Sissoko - 4 - Not great going forward. Lost the ball at times. Some good defensive work rate.

Anita - 3 - Shocker from the lad in the first half. Picked it up a bit in the 2nd half but still pretty bad.

Tiote - 5 - Stupid unnecessary challenges. Some good defending at times though. Kept his head.

Wijnal - 4.5 - Apart from his assist, he was quite anonymous.

Mitrovic - 4 - Isolated up top. Some good defending though.

Perez - 5.5 - Scored the winning goal. Was drowned in Bournemouth sperm most of the game though.

Cisse - 2 - ****e.

Thuavin - 6 - Some very neat touches and runs in the game. Helped see the game out.

Mbabu - n/a

McClaren - 3.5 - Tactics all wrong. I did agree with his decision to switch to 4-5-1 though. We seemed a bit more comfortable flooding the midfield. Bringing off Mitrovic was a mistake though IMO.

MOTM - Elliot.

 

Agree.. about time we played bad and got something from the game

 

Elliot to thank for 3 points, must have watched Jack Butland last week. Colo had one of his best games in a while and also liked Mbemba, as for the rest, very poor. We stole the points today.

 

I agree with most but.....

Dummett was awful... I mean REALLY AWFUL and its the first time I have seen Colo lose his rag with a player, he actually had a go at him.
Anita was also dreadful I agree with the 3 but I was shocked by his passing.
Our passing all over the park was dreadful. We cant have games like this where so many players go missing. That is bad.

I thought Thauvin looked really sharp when he came on and helped us immensely.

Tiote did well today even though he got his usual booking.

Mbenba was class and ELLIOT.......

MAGIC!

But the worst performance by a mile was Mclaren. He got this wrong from the very start and he sat there watching without changing it. He should count his lucky stars that Elliot had his weetabix this morning because he dug us out there!

 

I thought Janmaat and Dummett were terrible, as were Gini and Sissoko. We got mullered in the wide areas. Fair enough the full backs had two at all times but they were poor.

 

Think Elliot had more than weetabix this morning. We robbed them of 3 points, but who cares, it's happened to us recently.

 

Appauling mclaren got it wrong from minute one and didn't change the game just sat with his fingers crossed.

 

And his head in his hands

 

Ha ha exactly he couldn't even manage to keep them crossed

 

I've got a feeling he will he even more bald by the end of the season !

 

Our least deserved win since the Swansea away game where Cisse got two. Got a big smile on my face like

 

He certainly won't have anymore nouse

I really hope he turns things around because i actually like him but since day one everything's just been odd.

 

Bot full backs got mullered by them constantly having an overlap. Shouldn't have been their job to be marking two players though. Where was the cover??

I thought Dummett was better than Janmaat. Usual **** using the ball but made quite a few important blocks/headers. What the **** was Janmaat doing with that back pass???

 

I do too, he's our manager no matter what so we have to back him and the players, we can't argue the style of football hasn't improved (excluding today). But results buy time and todays performance was terrible, but 3 points is 3 points.

 

The full backs were less than ideal letting multiple crosses come in but they also both made good tackles and headers so not quite as bad as people are trying to make out.

 

Well its obvious you have two dms that don't get beyond 30 yards from out goal and then the ams are being asked to cover about 70% of the pitch going forward and back it's ridiculous

 

Inevitable that you were going to get your next 3 points after playing so poorly, after playing well and drawing blanks.

That's all it takes though, to kickstart a season, scrappy win.

 

Hopefully but Leicester at home looks tough followed by the inevitable pardew defeat

 

Finally got back just now. Cisse is a total liability. I'd rather have Arma back over Cisse all day long.

 

Operation: Stop Vardy.

Once somebody shuts him out, Sky Sports can stop creaming over him every 30 seconds.
