    I think he was sarcastically pointing out they gave Sarr a higher score than Deeney but made Deeney motm.
    You're right though, Capoue was particularly brilliant I thought

    Really should have bet... the first time I actually do a serious prediction.

    Lovely piece on their forum re the note which was passed round in the 2nd half!

    You want to know when it's bad....Today we had the ignominy of watching a Premier League team passing a note around to work out a formation. Not only passing it around but watching as players read it in disbelief, stared at each other pointed and tried to work it out, passed it on, Smith visibly shaking his head while reading it - five players it went to all of whom had to try and work it out while a televised elite league game was happening around them. If every you doubt that we don't have a Premier League coaching set up - and that doesn't change your mind - then nothing will.

    To be fair the commentator did say a solid 8/10 all round, with Deeney just edging it.

    Not sure what game these other guys were watching. Quina gets the same rating of 6 as Capoue as well which is weird. Nothing against Quina but he only played a handful of minutes.

    I'd be very worried if I was a Bournemouth fan. The biggest indication that all wasn't right was the lack of diving and surrounding the ref. It's normally where they derive their energy from and how they get their fans going. Today there were only a couple of ambitious tumbles from Harry Wilson and Lerma had a half hearted effort at winding Doucoure up but it was all a bit flat. It's a fundamental part of their game plan and it's gone missing, almost like a realisation that gamesmanship won't be enough to keep them up.

    It’s been a few hours, still really happy - which is unusual for me (I’m a miserable ****)

    Think next week will be hard and can see us going back into the relegation zone, but who knows.

    So good to see our front four get some confidence , let’s be honest if GD had been firing on all cylinders (not a criticism, thought he was giving it his all, just wasn’t quite happening) we could have had six or seven , and we have JP to add into the mix not to mention Kiko, Janmat , wellbeck cleverly , kabs

    We looked solid and organised every player knew what their job was. Bournemouth looked the total opposite they were easy to play against as they were not physical enough and kept trying the same things even though it clearly wasn't working for them. We wont get many away games as easy as that one.

    You wonder whether that is the end of the great Eddie Howe as manager of Muff. Hopefully not as they look nailed on for relegation at the moment

    I reckon Javi could be parachuted in & might do a half decent job at Muff.

    Knowing exactly how it feels, for some unknown reason I actually felt a little sorry for Eddie in the post match interview, he looked & sounded totally dejected, lost for words & bereft of ideas. Any other PL manager would have had the sack by now & it's not healthy long term for any club to have a manager who is virtually untouchable.

    Strangely, I am not as ecstatic about beating them as I thought I might, just another much needed win & at this stage big or small, I don't care who we steal 3 points from. Just focus on us now & we should be ok.

    Foster, Only one save to make. Safe hands
    Mariappa, Did well. 50p head and panics
    Masina, very good game
    Dawson, solid and did well
    Cathcart, dependable
    Doucoure, worked hard all over the pitch
    Capoue, awesome today. Taking charge in the centre of the pitch
    Delefeou, Dangerous and lively
    Chalobah, ok, he surprised me. Looks to be saving his career
    Sarr, has bags of pace and attitude. Could do more, slows the game down too many times, but that could be due to no one can keep up. Did well today
    Deeney, loads of running and bullied their backline. Buried his chance with power.

    Bournemouth were awful. At one point, they had 7 players defending their own goal kick - terrible.
    We out fought, out muscled and out played them.

    I don’t get playing out from the back and crossing balls to the goalie. Doesn’t work and is dangerous

    Quite a few smiling in that shot.

    Maybe thinking pies at away grounds will be a bit cheaper for them next season.

    I am with you , it’s fine if you are Man City or Liverpool but for teams without that skill level it’s insane. Muff just couldn’t get it away enough and kept giving it away in dangerous areas, if they had booted up pitch at least they would have had more chance. Also not a good tactic with a novice goalie.

    I'd say that Bournemouth's problems stemmed from a good deal more than trying to pass it from the back. A lot of their players looked unfit during the second half and they were even giving the ball away in our half in the final half hour!

    I don't mind us playing from the back as it gives us a better chance to create good opportunities than just hoofing it up which at best gives us a 60-40 chance of winning it back, but it would be risky against the better teams so we'd need to mix it up more.

    Whatever bonus big Nige is on to keep us up, certainly seems to be motivating him to make sure he gets it!

    F**k that, I thought it was absolutely hilarious watching and listening to him sound like a defeated man. Karma is a bitch. All this surrounding referee's diving etc will only take you so far.

    Nailed it.

    Nowhere to hide now the ref can't be conned on a regular basis.

    Yeah I thought that as well that Nigel told Doucs to explain to Sarr why he had been taken off, as Sarr clearly did not understand what Pearson said and was not happy at being substituted.

    Great result, fantastic work rate, commitment and performance. 6 wins needed now.

    Does anyone know how many penalties Muff have got in the 1st VAR season compared to the last 4 seasons and also how many of their opponents' players have been sent off compared to the last 4 seasons? Has VAR really made a difference? Seems like King being injured and Wilson off form plus loads of other injuries and their habit of going on winning and losing streaks have also had a big impact.

    I think it's part of golden boy's "big 6 CV" showing to the big boys that he can play football "the right way". It's madness for Muff and one of the reasons they have always conceded lots if goals.
    I think their next 3 games are something like Norwich, AV, and Brighton. 3 six pointers right there but does mean one way or the other that points will be earned by clubs in the bottom 6.

    That's brilliant. The whole note thing was bizarre. Culminating in one of their players shoving it down the front of their shorts for safekeeping. One for his relegation scrapbook maybe

    Wilson ended the game on 26 touches.
    Pereyra had 14, despite coming on in the 83rd minute.
