Zirkzee is a trainwreck. If his link up play is struggling he offers nothing else.

But he's so much better than Højlund, according to people here at least...

Do we need pace that much, if we want to dominate possession and create chances through good passing moves rather than counter-attack long ball spam?

From what I've seen so far in this match, yes we need pace. We're showing no threat.

Eric_the_Red99 · 2024-12-22T14:25:20+0000

If Bournemouth carried any attacking threat at all we could be in trouble here

UnofficialDevil · 2024-12-22T14:25:20+0000

Would have thought we are the away team so far.

No, it is a good watch, both teams playing some decent stuff.

Fair enough you have a modest level of expectations.

Litch · 2024-12-22T14:25:28+0000

We have got some shit players

Mainoo, Malacia, Maguire and Martinez are like 3 steps behind these Bournemouth lads. They look so sharp.

Never trust a player whose name starts with Ma

23 mins of crap football. I cannot understand why most of our players can play football for a living.

Redfrog · 2024-12-22T14:25:50+0000

We can’t play off their press.

The only thing he got to work with so far has been long kicks forward from Onana

Andycoleno9 · 2024-12-22T14:26:22+0000

We have no ideas in final 3rd.

Hughie77 · 2024-12-22T14:26:32+0000

Need to be on it when they get the ball .

Hoof the ball · 2024-12-22T14:26:33+0000

Maguire has got the worst reaction speed in the world. He's like that snail kid from the Uzumaki anime.

Exiled_Red · 2024-12-22T14:26:36+0000

This is what happens in this system when you don’t have actual wingbacks. Front 3 have no support when we get forward because wingbacks aren’t getting up and involved. We’re essentially just playing 5 at the back today.

It feels like we're playing with a back 5 rather than a 3. Probably because Bournemouth's main tactic is to hit it into that wide area to their quick wingers and isolate one of our CBs

It’s why I’ve always hated this formation as most of the time it’s far to defensive.

JinnerJamie · 2024-12-22T14:27:03+0000

Slow burner this one

I'm not sure he was bought to play in this system.

kouroux · 2024-12-22T14:27:08+0000

Bruno wtf ...

Desert Eagle · 2024-12-22T14:27:12+0000

Useless bastard literally can't clear the first man

CasaStreets · 2024-12-22T14:27:19+0000

I much prefer Casemiro next to Ugarte - think we look both more threatening and more solid the few occasions they’ve played together

Ahmer Baig · 2024-12-22T14:27:20+0000

We are no goal threat.

Smores · 2024-12-22T14:27:24+0000

We keep doing very lazy passing into Zirkzee expecting him to out strength the opponent every time.

He’s looked utterly dreadful so far this season. He should be nowhere near the starting 11 at the moment.

Thats what loans are for. Worked for Amad.

Neither of these players where(barring Ugarte). So that's not an excuse, he's not good.

DavidDeSchmikes · 2024-12-22T14:27:43+0000

Zirkzee struggling to get involved

Ollie Derbyshire · 2024-12-22T14:27:44+0000

Bruno accuracy at hitting that first man every corner is extraordinary.

always_hoping · 2024-12-22T14:27:51+0000

Maguire between fouling and awful passing is the most frustrating watch in this match so far.

peridigm · 2024-12-22T14:27:51+0000

Why are Bruno’s corners so consistently shit?

Offside · 2024-12-22T14:28:08+0000

Fernandes should have a bet with himself to see if he can beat it over the first men

kouroux · 2024-12-22T14:28:10+0000

Casemiro would at least be threatening on set pieces, not that Bruno knows how to take them

That's because of our defensive work

klayton88 · 2024-12-22T14:28:15+0000

Bruno and his fecking corners man. Who's green lighting him to take them?

Why does he still take them? He'd be more use waiting outside the box for a shot at corners.

CloneMC16 · 2024-12-22T14:28:27+0000

Another Bruno corner that hits the first man. Garbage.

Litch · 2024-12-22T14:28:35+0000

This is terrible

PoTMS · 2024-12-22T14:28:43+0000

Great ball from Bruno. Twice.

Desert Eagle · 2024-12-22T14:28:46+0000

Malacia is not a pl level footballer. He's gassed already

Such a nothing performance from us. No cohesion, no energy

Been dreadful. I still don't think he's a striker.
