Yeah Bournemouth are playing 2 banks behind the ball. Making it hard for City to find space.
I've watched Bournemouth a few times when they've played this way, I don't think they necessarily always play naively vs the top six, I just think that quite often the opposition manages to get a goal regardless and then they're forced to open up a bit and get caught out.
Today, thus far Ake has been imperious and City a little poor in the box. It's also hard to play the way Howe wants to vs City because they're so fantastic off the ball and simply choke teams in a fashion that sides like Liverpool can't do.
Zaha makes it 0-2 for Palace at Burnley.
Ake is a quality footballer. Big error from Chelsea to let him go and I imagine he'll end up at a top six team within the next season or so.
I doubt Arsenal would pay what they'd ask, I'm not sure we'd need him, and lord knows on City... Think you'd go for him? Or will Chelsea do the good ol' resign for 4x the price.
What a goal that is.
Mahrez
Mahrez scores, Bournemouth finally broken down.
Poor, poor goalkeeping from Boruc. Beaten at the near post, it's at close range but it was far from a perfect hit.

Don't think we need another cb, Arsenal would be the best bet as they badly need defensive reinforcements but you may be right that they won't pay the fee.
He might end up going abroad, who knows.
No chance Southampton will go down. Actually interested to see what they do next season, think Hasselhuttl was their best managerial appointment since Pochenttino.
Thank god City have scored.
We've got a £40 mil buyback clause so it would "only" be 2x the price.
Man. United going back to 4th. Lukaku stepping up now under OGS.
Oh fair play. Not bad then.
Would be better than Luiz I think
Fricking hell Utd. As much as Southampton going ahead is stirring my loins, keep in the top four race until the city game ffs.
Thanks for that
Palace with another Zaha. Bats got the second. 0-3.
wow nice free kick
Great FK from Ward Prowse.
This United Southampton game has had some cracking goals.
2-2 now.
2-2 now.
Dunno why any Southampton player bothers to stand with him when there's a free kick. He's ridiculous at them.
Does Zaha deserve another chance at a big club? Not sure he would be worth the risk and Palace would demand a King's ransom.
Mahrez is useless and not for this level of football
Jesus Christ Mahrez
Oops
Brighton take lead against Huddersfield. Andone.
Huge goal for them, they really should be starting Andone ahead of Murray now (keep him as sub).
You simply have to be beating Huddersfield in the run in.
Southampton having a really good spell atm, Man. United seem a bit flat to me today. Probably understandable playing every three days and all the injuries.
Walker should be off
Stupid unnecessary foul, Pep wasn't impressed either.
City can't seem to put a lid on this.
Lukaku’s on fire. 3-2 United.
Lukaku gets destroyed on this forum and he's probably going to individually fire Man United into top 4.
Lukaku!
For the haters dem
For the haters dem
At least City aren't looking invincible anymore.
City. 82% possession, 23 attempts, 810 passes and only won 1-0. Nice.
Doesn't need white text. That should be retaken even if he scores so why does it matter how many Arsenal players are following up?
You add them as a collective, not separated into two teams.
Wolves some great goals
Very nice goal from Zaha, just toying with the defenders in the box.
