From the look on Roy's face, they're in for the 'hairdryer' treatment and half time.... let's just hope it works!

This is embarrassing, we looking at relegation if this continues, we just lack quality it is plain for all to see and is very worrying!

For all his work rate Ayew is completely alienated up top, and the Bournemouth defence are free to mob him, knowing that there is no threat whatsoever down the middle from us, in attack or in midfield, and with our only other threatening player having to constantly cover the entire right flank as Ward is not up to it, constantly getting caught out by long diagonals, we have absolutely nothing to offer as a team. Just awful from a threadbare team.

Let's hope Ward makes up for his lapses by scoring another miracle goal or at least setting one up with a brilliant ball to the box.

Failing that, perhaps everyone forward of Lerma should clear out and let Olise take on all of Bournemouth by himself.

He and (Bianca) sadly missed on Sky Sports.

Back to the game.
The manager must have a change round in the second half. The old 'reliables' are not up to it. Ahamada to make the midfield more productive and one of the youngsters. Perhaps he will play his 'trump card' - Mateta? Too right he will.

One can only wonder how we will be humiliated in the next 4 fixtures.

Don’t understand all the negativity.
Bournemouth are a good little team, like Luton, and Everton. We are at home to a team below us, so Roy is playing for, well with a bit of luck, a point. What else should be expect? Surely not a home win? Come on all you Roy haters, get behind the team.
