Did Brooks just look like Giggs there or what. He's impressed me every time I've seen Bournemouth play this season, looks a cracking little player. Could he be Utd quality? One to keep an eye on?

I’d give Rom half an hour and switch Rasher out right. But get them switching.

Just watch the way the forwards are moving. No longer is Martial rigidly sticking to the left flank. They are all interchanging and the defence tries to pick them up which leaves Young free to get the ball into the box. I feel we are watching a different team?

Yeah, not too arsed about clean sheets as long as we score more at the other end. That said, the goals that have gone against us since Ole came in have been annoying shitty goals to concede. This one again today was sloppyness, casual at the short corner, poor from Lingard/Bailly, Matic maybe could have challenged Ake at least some too. De Gea had no chance.

As annoying as not keeping a clean sheet if we score 3 4 each game and play like this i couldn't care less We’re going full Keegan. Until we get another CB I think we’ll just have to make our peace with it. I'm ok with that after the last 6 months we have had I'm just enjoying the entertainment

The positivity is now brimming when going forward, Pogba and Rashford look reborn, we just need a world class centre back to stop letting in so many goals.

Lovely stuff. Pogba absolutely had to step up after Jose left to save his own reputation, and he seems to be doing that. Part of it will be tactics, part the whole team being lifted, and part his own motivation. Yes, the last of those 3 leaves a bit of a sour taste in the mouth. I'd rather he had been trying his best regardless. But the fact remains that at his best he can be the best player in the league, and at the very least him and De Bruyne would be the two best midfielders in England. Don't know if it has been mentioned here yet. Everyone should go find the footage of Pogba in the tunnel before Huddersfield. Captaincy material.

Playing like this we see capable of beating anybody in the league. If only he'd sacked him before the dipper game eh.

Again, it's not rocket science. The players have more freedom and they're all playing about 10/15 yards further up the pitch. Result, 11 goals in 2 1/2 games.

Just looked at Bournemouth's recent fixtures and they've been vile. Past 11 league games have been us, Newcastle (A), Arsenal, City, Huddersfield, Liverpool, Wolves (A), Chelsea, Brighton, Spurs, us again. They lost them all (and are losing to us) apart from wins against Huddersfield and Brighton. They arguably should have beaten Newcastle, but otherwise they're expected to lose all of those IMO.
Despite that they're 12th, 3 points off Wolves in 7th (and 6 off us before tonight). Might bet on them to finish 7th, the rest of their fixture list can't be that bad given the horror couple of months they've had.
