decent game, bar the first ten minutes when we were rabbits in the headlights, when I was envisioning yet another 12 goals in a cup game vs arsenal, with far fewer of them for us than last time. was all too frantic and breathless and needed someone to put their foot on it and engage brain.
easier said than done with Bournemouth closing us down so quickly .
eventually we managed to get a foothold, and carve out some decent opportunites though, and looked the more likely to score the next goal until the final whistle. defence was solid, keeping them out, with nothing troubling feds, bar the unlucky ricochet for the goal
last 15 mins livened right up(after some terrible diving by them, and silly decisions by the ref) and we were looking good,
they were looking desperate in defence, but yet again we looked toothless in the final third.
didn't think HRK was any better or worse than mcleary, karacan or chalobah tbf
