Good game that, going forward very nice but I don't think Slot will be very pleased with the defensive side of things. Chugging along quite nicely tho :)

Amorim will be lucky to last the season. That was worse than ETH.

January needs wingbacks bringing in as a bare minimum. If we go through January with zero signings getting 40 points will be the priority!

I thought you weren't watching it? It wasn't worse than ETH at all. The result looks bad but it could have quite easily been different.

This reactive short-termism needs to stop. The squad is a complete mess and he's joined at pretty much the worst possible time in the fixture schedule.

I watched the second half. That was enough for me.

You cannot tell me that Bournemouth have a better set of players than Man United and that by now Amorim has been in charge for 6 weeks that he can't get them playing better.

I am not talking about just this game but in general.

I think they have a more cohesive set of players who are well coached and have been playing under that manager for quite some time. Iraola drew/lost his first 10 or so games in charge, but once he had time with the players, things turned around for the better.

Amorim has taken over during a period where we have a game every 3-4 days. That means a lot of travelling, resting and minimal time for training. On top of that the players are having to learn a new system, and football IQ isn't exactly their collective strong point. There is quality in the squad but it's a bit sparse in places.

In general, by almost every metric, there is an improvement. There is still a long way to go, and I don't think we're likely to find any real consistency this season, there are just too many problems.
