Urgh why couldn't we have just got the window right man?

Would take a point all day long

Thierno Barry has played 702 minutes for us in the PL, that's nearly 8 matches.

He hasn't had a shot on target yet.

Only Garner, KDH and Grealish look like they have any confidence on the ball. The rest are on a knife edge and don’t really look like they know what to do with the ball. I think that’s also a function of a lack of offball runs. Again, KDH has been good at this but nothing much from the rest

Think it's been fairly ok, tough with the players we have missing, and Tim whilst better than last game is still pretty dodgy, and Alcaraz has been his usual erratic self but without the good parts.

Feels a bit like it's only been ok because Bournemouth have been really poor. I'm fully expecting them to go up a gear in the second half and I don't think we have another to go to.

Yeah I agree.

If he hadn't put his hands up by his chin when he jumped he would have had one in the last game.

The service to him, and the movement and composure from him have been equally poor this season.

It's been slim pickings, but a little more than just the Grealish miss if that's what you're thinking of.

Service hasn't been great for sure, and remains a huge issue whoever is playing up top. However, it's still a little on him too. I think we've seen Beto get into more positions to score and had more shots in his chances this season with similar service. Unsurprisingly Barry looks lacking in confidence and I think you do see that in his approach play, he's happy to lay it off but can look a bit timid in the box.

Wasn’t his header from the corner on target today? The one the keeper pushed onto the post?

Beto gets chances in this team but he loses the ball all the time.

Barry hasnr got a clue how to make an impact in the box yet

Did the keeper not punch it onto his head? Not gone down as a shot on target anyway.

Like at this point you'd just hit a comfortable one at the keeper from 25 yards

Obrien there.

Quick to the ball, turns away and plays forward quickly.

That’s what we’re missing massively at the back.

Still be flagged for a foul or something.

What kind of decision was that hahhaha
