Don’t get the love for Howe the Bournemouth Manager. His team is appalling once again.
He tries to play open, expansive football with a fraction of the budget of a lot of the teams he’s up against. It’s really not surprising they blow hot and cold. Incredibly brave manager doing great work.

Exactly the reason why they were perfect for Pool today though.

Therein lies his problem. He has neither the players or the resources to play in that way. He would be better making the best use of the players he has and not those he wishes he had.

If you look at how they've consistently avoided relegation (and never really been close) for 4 years, I wouldn't really think they would find this to be a "problem".

It's going to be a real back and forth relegation scrap between Saints, Burnley, Cardiff, Newcastle, Palace and Brighton, isnt it? Cant help but think Dyche might have fucked it sticking with Hart for so long after Heaton returned. Fulham and Huddersfield are pretty much down already. There is just no fight in them and no signs of a Sunderland style great escape.

Zouma shown two yellow's after the Everton match - post game red for confronting the ref :D

Hughton and Brighton could do with a win this evening. Only 3pts between them and the bottom 3, and their form hasn't been great.

I hate it too. In fact the correct pronunciation of Pogba is more like PogbAh. As in Ah-ha. It annoys me when commentators try and make names sound not exotic without knowing the pronunciation.

Do yourself a favour then, don’t ever listen to Eddie Butler covering a game of rugby union involving the French team!

Rubbish. Have they been involved in a relegation scrap since they came up? No. What do you expect him to do with Bournemouth than finish mid-table? The fans get to watch exciting football, and he’s far more likely to get a top job than a conservative, men behind the ball manager like Dyche or Hughton.

Bale scored his 100th goal for Madrid today. What a player he is.

Seemed to just walk off the pitch when everyone else was shaking hands at the end though, not sure why. Maybe a bit of frustration over recent criticism.

Brighton are well and truly sucked into the mixer now, and they're in terrible form.

One team always struggles after a good start to the season, looks like it's them this year.

He got the dreaded vote of confidence by the chairman last week, that's never a good sign.
Agreed. But one thing that does give me pause is who would they go for? As if the atmosphere there isnt toxic enough, bringing Big Sam or Moyes back at this stage would really set it off. At this point, I think they are probably better off giving Siva 3 or 4 more games. If he doesn't turn it around and you get dragged into the relegation battle, then you make the change. But its still early and making a panic move now could backfire tremendously

IMO, Silva's issue is he is not pragmatic enough. He doesnt have a true focal point on top and there is not enough goals in the AM, even with Siggy and Richarlison. Couple that with Everton's defense being so poor and this is what you get. Silva would be much better off atm if he set them up to hit on the counter attack.

You should see the amount Howe has spent. You'll be surprised
