I thought we were the better team yesterday, sorry state when we play well and still lose. R. Gomes looked good, Agbadou for me plays ok in patches and then seems not interested or arrogant not sure, and mistakes happen.
We have talked about Hwang a lot, discussing if managers are obligated to play him, seriously is this the case?
Apart from maybe 2 good games, how is he starting every week, have we nobody else, surely there is a better alternative.
Few easy games to come, think it is Chelsea, Villa, Liverpool and Arsenal.

Hi Banksy Bournemouth looked like they were playing within their selves and could take us apart at any time agree with you about Agbadou he needs to go RE for me is not the right person in charge to defensive we've got nothing to lose now by playing a4 2 3 1 formation and give the likes of Pedro Lima and Danny Angel a chance we have nothing to lose now let's see a few of the kids get a chance at least they would play with a little pride in the shirt ?

Fair point B hill, may as well play the likes of Lima now, has Angel been confirmed, is he a midfielder?
Surely we have to drop Hwang now, more attacking we have to be, even so we deserved at least a point yesterday, that is if we had converted our chances.

I am sick of people on hear knocking Rob Edwards, he is a good manager who has improved this team but what do you expect him to do with the shambles that Fosun have left him to deal with.

Be intetesting to see if Hwang starts over bellegarde now he's fit again Banksy.
What hwang does that makes the pundits say he'd done well yesterday I don't know, his pass to Rodrigo for the offside?, because the only other times he was mentioned was for mistakes, and I think he shares some off the blame for waiting for Andre's ball towards him for their 1st.

The Danny Angel I'm referring to is a young striker in the under 21 side Angel Gomes who were after is a midfielder as for RE being a good manager seven wins as a prem manager that's impressive

This is the team Jeff Shi built Banksy so none of this should come as a surprise really. I tend to agree with B hill about RE and doubt he'll be around any longer than his predecessors anyway.
Fosun will need to distance itself from the Jeff Shi years asap whilst making football more of a priority in the transfer decision making. Will we also see a much needed change in their overall approach? we need to.

Oh for the chance to wildly celebrate a last minute equaliser or winner. But they do come with a government health warning for managers of a certain age and even generation.
David Moyes celebration, although not quite in the same league as David Pleat’s iconically gringe-worthy pitch invasion, he head the bad dress sense to boot, was similar to those of an aging Alex Ferguson.
Note to self: a mid-air (bit of an exaggeration to call it mid-air) is not a good look for pensioners.
As for Jose, good job him hugging a random ball boy, happened in Lisbon and not Madrid! Bad losers Real Madrid,

Hwang does nothing except help the opposition to score.pathetic excuse of a player
