Would have been nice for them to play 60 mins with 10 men. Blatant red card offence that.

You would hope given the fact he had a year out through no fault of the club, who continued to support him without question, that there has been some foresight here. Something along the lines of a 1 year extension, discretion to the club only. He's been immense and reminds me very much of Michael Essien. Controlled but aggresive, intelligent, strong & clearly knows how to strike a ball. Would say he's a better passer though. Fortunate to have him & hope he's here for a while.

Bitterly disappointing we're continually unable to invest too. That squad is in serious need of beefing up, particularly another forward, right winger and GK. The sub full backs aren't fit for this system either. Keeping Murphy on was criminal post 55 mins. Couldn't track back and didn't press with any vigour, if at all. Not saying Dubravka had a bad game. We simply need someone decent with their feet but can dominate the box & shot stop, not one or the other. Our subs didn't make any impact & that is not Eddie's fault. If that Tonali hit goes in first half, goal of the season competition closed. Fantastic player.

Awful performance again. Looked solid enough the first 35mins but awful post that. Willock looks horrendous. Slow, lazy & cost us that game by not putting away that tap in opportunity. How can he expect any run of games, coming on and making absolutely no positive impact. Howe continues to look lost tactically during games & afraid to make substitutions. Murphy was spent after 55 mins, while both schar and burn were continously outdone by the long ball. Appreciate more difficult to shift a centre back off but we were waiting to concede the second half & yet again, just watched it happen without influence.

Viagra. Consistent Wood.

Hard to argue with any of that. While watching, felt like a carbon copy of the forest game last season. Pressed the midfield 5 and broke through the lines with ease, exposing our centre backs within 2 passes. They could and should have had more. We looked jaded early on & have stuck with the same team for pretty much the whole run. We play in short 15 minute bursts at the moment but today we weren't as clinical or creative as we have been the last few weeks. This meant consistently trying to create rather than sit back and absorb. We looked knackered, shit and exposed for it. We move on...

That is the exact type of game you want Pope in the sticks. So exposed through balls down the channel and over the top. Felt we were in for a tough game today but that was horrendous & has once again exposed our frailties and small squad. They're missing tons of players but Gordon, Murphy, both full backs and Bruno miles off it - couldn't replace any. Still feel changes can be made in game in respect of formation and tactics. What a shit Saturday.

Shocking performance. Very much like the forest game last season at home. Awful by Dan Burn for that third goal but only in that scenario following two horseshit simple passes gone amiss from Trippier then Gordon. Eddie lost on ideas from the very beginning. Simply refuses to make changes when it's clearly going wrong in game. What the fuck is Osula going to do in 5 minutes? That's the worst I've seen us play since Palace away, when we created absolutely nothing and were battered. Only player that looked remotely interested today was Tonali. Fucking awful. Well done Bournemouth again, continuing to outsmart us.

Howe has to take a huge slice of responsibility here. Letting it happen without making any change. We've been abysmal.

Gordon has been awful.

Plenty off it today. Both full backs been run a bit ragged. Joelinton and tonali not close enough to bruno. Gordon looks totally disinterested. Howe struggling once again, setting up against Bournemouth. Isak hasn't had a sniff. Murphy totally ineffective at the moment.

Osula is thoroughly enjoyable to watch. ADHD feel about his play but energetic. Targett did well there, the cabbage patch looker.

Belter. With his weaker foot too!

Schar is immensely good looking.

Needs shot of in the summer. Incredibly unreliable footballer. Wouldn't surprise me if we sought another centre mid in the next window anyway.
