Our result yesterday really was bad. I'm not talking short term either. Those 2 dropped points will come back to haunt us.
Bournemouth were good value for the draw in truth, everybody is going to struggle down there if that's a typical performance from them here on in.

We've no right to be turning up and expecting 3 points as a formality.

We'll drop more points like that unless we fucking lose soon, im afraid. Im sick of this whole "oh but we're unbeaten" bullshit. What I see out of this team is the same crap I saw during last years streak. We'd rather hold out for a draw then look to win in the name of protecting the streak. We do not win enough games for the streak to even mean something. We might need to lose for this team to wake the fuck up.

Isn't he doing something similar with Belgium now?

I'm not sure what formation they're playing now but he played this 3-4-3 with Wigan and predicted that others would follow.

Wonder if this will slightly temper the mass Liverpool suck off from the media after they 'dominated' Utd on Monday. That was Brendan levels of cringe.

If we had scored just one goal yesterday, we'd now be sitting on top instead of in 5th place.

Thats the annoying part that scoring has become an issue for us although its a bit early to worry about who is top or fifth.
There is literally a few points seperating top from 5/6 so nothing to worry about other than finding the net.

Got a feeling that's exactly what our players thought they only had to do yesterday.

Doubt it. The media will probably spin this as Chelsea benefitting from Liverpool running United into the ground with their incredible brand of superhuman football.

Unfortunately finding the net has been our problem recently which is rather worrying.

Up to Poch to make sure motivation levels, collectively, are up for every single game.

It was obvious he roasted them at HT, although Bournemouth did tire as well.

But had we started the game like that we probably woud of won, at the very least we should of handled their press better

That's something Poch needs to work on more I think, how to handle the game better when teams press us high and hard..

I can see why they bought Pogba. He's world class, and ws available. But what they really need is a young 25 goals a season striker. And some decent wide men.

Ibra is out of his depth. Rooney is shot. Mata, Herrera and Fellani arnt good enough. And Micky can't seem to get a gaeme.

What is worrying is that with this emphatic win and with Chelsea not in Europe, they may just grow from strength to strength.

I look forward to their bubble bursting though.

Jose got a big job on his hands, piss poor at the back, Pogba looks spineless in cm, and without Ibra up top there's no real goal threat.
