Alvaro Rodriguez

3 Upvotes

Not a Cherries fan but got a lot of time for the way the club is run. You’ve got a great track record of buying low, developing and selling high.

With that in mind, what does this season look like for your new lad Rodriguez? I assume he’s second choice striker behind Evanilson whilst Kroupi is out, and I saw him get 10 mins the other day. He’s a big lad too if I’m not mistaken and I like a big striker.

Are you expecting that as the season goes on he’ll start the odd game and regularly get 20-30 as a sub? Or is he one for 2 years’ time?

Question Europa league vs Real Sociedad

1 Upvotes

Any options to buy a ticket for this game? I don't hold any Bournemouth membership, also tried to check for real sociedad Facebook groups for second hand tickets, but didn't manage to find any useful groups. I would be grateful for some sources!

The dreaded last 10 minutes

28 Upvotes

I think, on balance, we’ve played very well over the last 12 months. Even under Rose, I really feel we’ve continued what Andoni set in motion over the previous couple of seasons.

But yesterday I had exactly the same feeling I had at City when it comes to defending a lead late in a game. That sense that we’re somehow going to throw it away has become almost palpable.

I thought both teams were a little off the boil at City, but yesterday was a thoroughly enjoyable watch. Petrović was outstanding yet again, Truffert gave 110% as per and Scott was absoultely fantastic.

The recurring frustration is that we take the lead but seem unable to give ourselves any insurance with a second goal. I’ve almost started to dread the point when we make our substitutions, because from then on it often feels like a countdown to the inevitable equaliser and subsequent disappointment.

There’s plenty of talent on the bench, but it really feels as though our play and game plan suffer as a result of the changes. We lose our attacking impetus, become increasingly disjointed, and the communication seems to suffer too. Yesterday summed it up perfectly, the mix-up in the box between Christie (who had just come on only moments before) and Tav ultimately led to Everton’s inevitable equaliser.

It’s particularly frustrating because for large parts of these games we’re playing great football, however we have a real issue developing the composure and game management to actually see games through.

I also feel that we don't have anyone on the bench that can come on for Evanlison and provide the same attacking outlet that he does. He's only seen out 90 minutes in 25% of his games over the last 12 months and It often feels like when Evanilson goes off, we lose our focal point up front and immediately become more passive. We sit deeper, struggle to retain possession and lose the attacking threat that had stopped the opposition from committing bodies forward.

My concern is with the extra European games, we might really start suffering in the league this year.

PSA - If you can make it, San Sebastian is a wonderful place to visit (and of course the home of the man that got us into Europe, so it could be something of a pilgrimage).

There's hundreds of excellent tapas bars in the town and it's an eating and drinking experience you wont forget in a hurry. I'd recommend staying a couple of nights if you can to soak in the atmosphere. It's a really wonderful place.

Displays for when we win in Europe

5 Upvotes

Is there a chance of a tifo at home or flare/flag etc. displays at away games?

Is that something the Cherries Trust or FAB would speak on?

It's our first time in Europe and we need to make an entrance.

Bournemouth VS Milan

0 Upvotes

Hi, i am a big fan of AC Milan who lives near Birmingham. I saw the draw and i really wanted to watch Bournemouth Milan Europa league match.

How hard is it to get the ticket for that match? Last season i watch 2 Aston Villa Europa League match quite easily as the stadium is not full during EL matches, unlike during PL match (coincidentally i watch Villa vs Bournemouth ).

Question How do I buy tickets?

3 Upvotes

I'm here in Bournemouth for Uni and would love to go to a game but the website is an absolute joke. Can't find any information on it and it's also saying there are no games on in the tickets tab which is obviously not true. I know the opening game is probably sold out already but what about the next couple of games? How do I buy tickets on the website or do I have to buy them in person at the ticket office.

Help me get up to date with the Cherries

17 Upvotes

Hello, I’m from the USA and I’ve decided that after the World Cup I would want to support a Premier League team. Ultimately I’ve decided to support AFC Bournemouth, simply bc I love the fact of supporting a smaller up and coming team with perseverance and passion, plus I like the colors and emblem lol.

TBH, I don’t know much about the players or team as a whole, or even where to stream them besides the occasional games played on peacock or nightlights after the games. So if anyone can help me get up to date I would greatly appreciate the help :)

Discussion At the end of the day, I can think of a few other (bigger) clubs that would not have been as disappointed to lose to city as we were. Fair play to our lads.

12 Upvotes

Title. Honestly we had a pretty great first half, lost a bit of steam and narrowly lost to a premier league winning side. Yes it's maybe not the start we were all hoping for but I can't help but feel a bit hopeful for the rest of the season. There are a few issues to iron out (defending set pieces) but I think Rose shows alot of promise despite the loss. UTCIAD 🍒

Turning down Chelsea's £64m plus offers for Alex Scott feels like a pretty big statement from the club.

24 Upvotes

It shows the club clearly see him as a key part of the team and aren't willing to sell just because a big offer comes in. Keeping him around could be really important with the European games and busy domestic schedule coming up. At the same time, you have to wonder what happens if Chelsea or another big club comes back next summer. If Scott stays beyond deadline day, do you think he signs a new contract or is a big transfer still inevitable?
