On any other day a point against a solid Bournemouth team wouldn't be the worst result. But with the position we are in, home game, 3 points is absolutely needed.
Disappointing draw but can't fault the team for effort. We lacked cutting edge, had 20 shots and only 3 on target. We missed Pablo. Want Forest and Spurs to lose tomorrow and then we can beat Liverpool next Saturday.
Fair result IMO, not sure either team deserved the win, even though we had more attempts on goal, let's hope it's a point gained rather than 2 dropped at the end of the season....
It's not a bad result at all, I believe they were 2nd or 3rd in the form table before today. The problem is we have given ourselves too much to do to get out of trouble, which is why I have thought we would still go down even after the recent wins.
We can't and won't win half our remaining games because the PL is tough and we don't have the squad depth to change things up when Bowen, Summerville and Taty aren't at their best.
I just wish we could have found our feet 6 or 7 games earlier under Nuno. The defence and structure has improved, and we do carry a threat, but it's all come a little too late IMO.
Very disappointing result in the position we are in but Bournemouth really had a plan to ensure Summerville and Bowen were isolated by close marking and it worked a well. Jimenez is the same build as Sumemrville, small, fast and agile, I would have moved him around as against bigger players he is too fast and agile, so he either gets the better of them or they give fouls away. I don't think we were proactive enough in trying to find a way past their game plan.
We did fight and are still alive however, and should Forest and Spurs lose tomorrow, as both should really, we will have gained another point on them. It does put the pressure on us to try and get something against Liverpool now however. This isn't impossible now we are keeping clean sheets as this Liverpool is not the side of last season.

All our big players offered nothing, huge opportunity not taken
Games are running out & points drifting away
At the moment, Bowen isn’t producing so we are solely relying on Summerville or Fernandes - Fernandes was poor today & Summerville can’t do it all
