[Kenneth]

Mo fumbles another half chance to break into the box

[Kenneth]

Bad effort by Jota now. Forwards aren’t doing much better than the defence.

[Venton]

Three of our defenders are playing well. Our midfield can't stop anyone.

That for me is a really big part of our defensive problem.

[dizzycat]

Jota really rushed that shot

Mo needs to be subbed off

[Kenneth]

Salah with a pea roller from 5 yards.

Weak finish

[Venton]

Has Salah's confidence completely gone? Couldn't have been easier for the keeper to save.

[Kenneth]

That for me is a really big part of our defensive problem.

There was a mini incident about five minutes ago where Konate came out as made a good block but he and Mac Allister crashed into each other and Bournemouth came away with the ball. It’s just miscommunication/misunderstanding between the old and new boys I guess.

He's getting thr ball in great positions and is completely ineffective.

Yes, and we have to expect that. But we also had a lot of it last season so my concern is that it's now a persistent problem.

[BootRoom]

Salah is losing every one-on-one duel; and he's not being 'double-marked' (or even 'triple marked') either.

[Kenneth]

Lol. Ref’s a mentalist.

[Venton]

On a positive note I can safely say that we've played better this half, which is nice.

[Kenneth]

He cannot be serious.
