Yeah very true! I'm also very much looking forward to Liverpool v Man U in the next game week. You'd have to fancy Liverpool, but you never know...

I'm not disputing that at all, but I've lived through too many Premier League seasons to take anything for granted

No chance is it over

I only saw one, but fair enough. I agree that generally speaking you would expect elite footballers to make the right decisions. Man City are usually phenomenal in that respect

Bit harsh. He did score a fantastic goal, and others were equally guilty of missed chances

Interesting

An absolutely cracking game of football. Who cares if there were no Bristol teams involved, it was a joy watching 22 world-class players at their best. I felt Man City probably deserved to win, but a draw was fair enough

Man City are such a brilliantly coached / managed football team. Outstanding in every part of the pitch (as are Liverpool, to be fair)

We are but considering where we've finished the last few seasons, it isn't much of an achievement

Hmmm not sure about that

You could be right. It's hard to tell isn't it

His comments don't really make sense. He's essentially putting the blame on the players. But it's a manager's job to sort the players out.

Well that's good. The sooner he can get started on it, the better

To be honest, they're all as responsible as each other. Neither the players nor the manager will come out of this season with any real credit

I think it's still up in the air

Man City for me, as I think it'll be a closer game

All fair points Dave!

Just looked at it again. To be honest, I have the opposite view. I think the second goal was a great strike, but goals one and three could definitely have been avoided with more robust defending, especially from Scott. Mind you, Pearson's formation was probably all wrong for an away game at Bournemouth. Two up top and no Massengo?

Having watched the three sloppy goals we gave away, those scores seem quite high for the defenders. I didn't see the whole game, but we made it easy for Bournemouth it seems

Interesting take. Thanks

Better than the current guy, I would say

I didn't see the game, but I was responding to the comment about his recent attitude

Really?

He's bound to get stick if he doesn't put the effort in

Yeah I recently took advantage of a deal where I paid £10 for a Sky Sports day pass and got six months of Sky Sports Mobile for free. Incredible value!
