That went poorly. Bournemouth lost 4-0. Also, we have Arsenal and Liverpool next. We need to make some transfer signings ASAP.

Glazers (own Man Utd and Buccs) getting lambasted on tv over poor ownership. You could sense the rage from Gary Neville of Sky Sports. Demanding that Joel Glazer immediately drops everything and turns up in Manchester etc.

Not sure Neville is correct - the amount of money that has been invested in players should be getting results. Multiple good coaches couldnt turn the team around, so its not coaching either. I suspect there is a toxic culture in the team front office in Manchester (Glazers too remote to be the cause).

As a Liverpool fan, its good to see them struggle...

As a Bournemouth supporter, it'd be hilarious to see Man U go down.

You get against run of play draws in EPL but yea this is just insane...
There is zero way you can allow this to happen without calling a penalty and yellow card, wiping off the goal.
Anthony Taylor is our Arch nemesis but this was too easy for VAR to get right.
He pulls him down by hair long before ball makes it into the box.

It is pointless to have VAR if it isn't going to be used to correct that type of situation. I understand VAR can't correct everything, but when something is blatantly obvious, it has to be addressed. This is but one example.

Chelsea winning being down 10 men all game was wild.
They gotta loan out Conor who will be very good but is just too green for top flight football.

Was totally questioning Sterling then BAM 2 goals.
Felt very Man City like from Raheem where he just runs into tackles a lot then all of a sudden gets toward a post and finishes.

That didn't go well for Bournemouth. We need to get some transfers in. Problem is, we have a garden shed for a ground, which makes getting more talent difficult.

Grabbing some player on loan would buy you guys time to settle and avoid relegation.
but yea it is tough beating rich clubs in a non-salary cap league.
FFP means almost zero as Barcelona can be in bankruptcy and sign 200M worth of dudes.

And we are going to need loan players. I think we will avoid relegation because we do usually beat the teams we should beat like Villa. I didn't expect us to beat City, Arsenal, or Liverpool. I also didn't expect us to lose 9-0 to Liverpool haha. Luckily, we have a slightly easier match this week against Wolves before we play Tottenham.

Not a good time to have no manager - the uncertainty will scare off any potential incoming transfers or loans.

True, but binning him was the right decision. Losing 9-0 is a poor showing, and that can't be allowed. Especially for a side who needs a spark. I'd love for Bournemouth to get Mauricio Pochettino. He'd be a good manager for us.

oofffff, that Chelsea loss to Southampton was among the 10 worst Cheslea showings I have watched.
Side selection and formation major issues as was lack of effort by wantaway players drug into the game.
Not having Reece James was all pain all the time. Add Kante also out and it's just gross viewing.
Mendy has looked very beatable and they can not play Jorginho as a 6 with that crew around him.

Feels like Tuchel did this to push ownership on more transfers.

Cheslea need a striker, midfielder and central defender still.
Borderline unwatchable.

That you do. However, that was a well played game by Soton. Having a lot of family in Hampshire, England, I was pleased at Southampton's performance. Now if Bournemouth could get Rafael Benitez or Sean Dyche, we will be in better shape.
