Noble and Lanzini are offering no protection, bournemouth strikers can drop deep and are in acres of space, meaning our centre backs are keeping tight which is taking them out of position
WHU, that's the point I was trying to make. He's not the regular answer. He has great promise but I think currently too inexperienced to be a regular premier league footballer...... mind you, that could be said about quite a few of them
Our midfield was woeful in tracking back. Cresswell and Johnson had a little cover. So feel sorry for Johnson. Lanzini was not effective in the role that he was asked to play and Noble too slow and may be still sulking. Cullen did more in few minutes than what Lanzini did earlier on, read the game, athletic and helped Fredericks.. It would be a shame if Cullen is sold as well.
Our marking is dire and our ability to tackle is poor. improved in the latter stages but i hope we see something much better in the second half. Full marks to Bournemouth; they tore us apart at times with their passing.

But also think these issues are systematic,

To be expected for a 19 year old, but he is really in danger of being sent off here
Feel for the lad but he has really struggled today
But I did think we had to treat Johnson with caution, he did only have 3 starts in the league
Think he can be an important player this year, but he is just a young player, he is going to have off games
2-1
Bowen again
Fantastic cross from Cullen
Sully might have sold him for £2m before the match has even finished
Oh yea....
If only we had more players like that.....
Maybe that's just because he's actually running around more than usual - either way, promising.
