Should've put this one to bed.
Friend has actually done okay. Let stuff go for both sides.
Instead we've gone to bed.Quote:

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's strike was his first goal involvement in 26 Premier League games (assist v West Ham, 28 December 2014).
This game will either finish 3-1 or 2-2.
It makes me want to go to mine.Quote:

Piss poor since the 2 goals.
0-2 HT. Turned up for 2 minutes, if we can do that for nine minutes more, we'll be above the Spuds.
Solid half, took our chances when they came. Glad Ox got a goal, hopefully that helps his confidence as we need more than just one player on the right that can offer something. We've got a nice habit of scoring a couple of goals in quick succession.
Getting by with Flamsey for now, Coq will come on later to help get his fitness levels up. Biggest threat against us so far not coming from Bournemouth but Gabriel's brain fart. Let's get another and wrap this one up ahead of our victory against Leicester next week.
Piss poor apart from the 2 goals really.Quote:

Two quick goals cover up a fairly crap performance. But Bournemouth are really shitty. We made them look okay in the last 15 mins though.
Got a take Flamini off at half time. Ref will look to make amends in second half after watching sky slagging off the decision for the next 15 mins.
Come on! We haven't been playing well. Poor quality game but so if we can keep a comfortable lead it's all good. We haven't got the ability to cut teams to shred with our passing with this team.Quote:

We haven't switched off. We've struggled to pass the ball the whole game.Quote:

The tactics are why we can't pass. It all has to be precision in congested spaces, and the ridiculous pace we crawl at allows the opposition easy pressure. It IS the tactics. Slow and I suppose he'd call it "patient", I call it bollocks. We don't make or use space.Quote:

He'll gamble with a stupid thing like that, but won't take a "gamble" on bringing in a quality striker.
But that's from the kick off. It's not as if we've been playing a blinder. Which is why I'm saying you're wrong about the team switching off as if we were doing well before the goals.Quote:

Okay I see what you mean. No we weren't playing well, but we at least had a bit of possession and had shut Bmouth into their own half. We got real lazy and even more negative after the goals.Quote:

Ox. :haha:
Alexis shoots, Boruc saves.
Ox is shit.
In some ways I hope we don't play like this against Barca.
