I didn't say it was egregious, just that if I'm Bournemouth I'm disappointed about only being equal whereas on balance of play I'm happy to be 1-1.
Happy to see ASM coming to life here and offering us something different.
Ours were in added time. They deserve credit for that half apart from falling asleep at the end and not tracking Longstaff's run from deep through the middle. That was the only time all half we created a meaninful chance, everything else was a hopeful cross into the middle defended easily.
I'd be super disappointed to not be ahead after that half if I was Bournemouth. They brought good energy from the start and had done their homework on our attack knowing when to commit and which spaces we'd be moving in. Created the best chances too.
Have a look at how many Bournemouth players are defending in our right side. We're too predictable naking it easy for them and hard for Miggy and Trippier.
For me Longstaff needs to drop into the centre more and sit deeper than he is. From there he can try to get more involved in distribution.
It's true, a fucking nothing challenge in a game we had all but won when we only needed a draw has cost us dearly. We've got nothing through the middle making us very predictable.
