Well done Ralph. Only 6 more to go

They literally passed the ball to walcott and he looked lost and almost gave them the ball back.

Playing walcott is like playing 10 men.

I missed the first 15 minutes.(so maybe we were good then but i doubt it) Since i've been watching we've been utter garbage with exception of move at end of the half where Moi(who had been exceptionally bad) missed a proper chance.

Thishas been truly abysmal. How is Ralph still in a job.

Other managers do it. Just a week ago potter took off Cucurella in first half as they were completely under the cosh.

When I looked at the starting lineup I thought we’ll lose because we have zero pace. Too often ralph’s Ralph’s lineups have me scratching my head. find it bizarre that Adam Armstrong didn’t get any minutes despite our failure to score.

My concern with our lineup is the lack of any pace in it.

See echo suggesting we won’t recall in Jan, which I find very disappointing given our poor options and how well he has performed.

I disagree. Edozie is still very rough round the edges. 20/30 spells as an impact sub seem the best use of him imo.

Don't see this he looks lost at all. Sure he's not the deadly Ings replacement we were hoping for but he's definitely deserving of being around the starting xi of this squad currently. Personally i'd like to see us bring back Tella and have him challenge for that spot but right now Armstrong is ahead of Walcott/Djenepo/Mara/Edozie as a starter.

Same battling qualities but a bit more quality in possession than in particular Bournemouth display Really nice to see us score a good goal. Carved them apart. S. Armstrong has to start for his intelligent movement. Elyounessi had one of his good games. Good defensively and played his part in the goal. Lyanco is one of my favourite players. Adds a nastier mentality, though hopefully we can convince him to avoid the headswipes. That was an awful dive by Walcott. Happy with ref as it would have been easy for him to give them one of the extremely soft penalty appeals, given they are top of the league.

Not the worst display by us. Good goal by Xhaka. Don't really feel we carry much threat though, even when we have a spell of decent passing. Most disappointing thing is the set pieces. Zero Threat from the 6 we've had. Surely we should at least throw in the odd play it short or threat of it. Also still dislike how we pull everyone back for their corners. Makes it difficult for ourselves when we win the first ball. Perraud really struggling with Saka. Also not sure how the ref only came up with 2 minutes added time. Though was sure he was going to give one of those penalty shouts, so positive from that point of view.

Adams Hamstring issue. Got to wonder why he's even on the bench.

Really stupid by mctominay

Not a huge fan of that set up. With us it tends to end up being 5-4-1 with the 1 isolated rather than 3-4-3. If we are going to go 3 at the back i'd prefer to see 2 up top.

Adams wins it. Honorable mentions to the cb’s stopping a horrible performance resulting in lost points.

A sensible board would ignore the result (against what will likely end up being the weakest team in the division) and focus on the dire performance.

Might as well give Payne a game given the lack of options. Wonder if we should go 5 at the back as our wide midfield options are awful and our cb’s look decent for once. Bazanu payne lyanco caleta-car salisu djenepo diallo jwp armstrong adams armstrong

I’m happy we got 3 points against the weakest team in the league on paper. but i’m Not happy that our approach was a desperate backs to wall and being relieved that Bournemouth lacked any real cutting edge. Ralph has to go.

That was pretty pathetic. Especially in the 2nd half where for the bulk of it we contrived to avoid having the ball. Fortunate that we came against a championship standard team. S. Armstrong was excellent when he came on. Surely there has to be a place for his quality on the ball in the starting xi. Adams MOM. Worked extremely hard, got his goal. He's no Ings/Lambert but he's a solid premier league attacker and has to play 90 minutes if fit until we invest properly there. No clue what we'll do without KWP. Larios looked lost when he came on. I don't fancy seeing Elyounessi play there again. A decent team would have exploited him more than once.

Better from Lyanco and A.Armstrong there

Brilliant play by Adams

Elyounessi is not a WB.

Who'd going to RB
