Starts today after Neto made his debut midweek in the League Cup, so that's a positive.
Nice easy game today - Liverpool away. That's a heck of a run for then - Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool in succession. And they're already 1-0 down
Edit - 2-0 now; 8 minutes gone
Tough day for him ,3 down in 30 minutes and not much he could do about them…
Four now.. horrendous run of fixtures for Bournemouth to get at the start of the season really
5-0. Doesn't help that Liverpool have a point to prove after their poor start
At least those games are out of the way and they're starting out of the relegation zone.
The only way is up... So long as they don't have a record-breaking second half
I know they've had a tough run of fixtures to start, but Bournemouth don't look like they belong in the Premier League. More like League 1.
8-0 now, so ten minutes to keep out of the Premier League record books.
Salah not involved in any of the goals - scoring or assisting - which is remarkable. And annoying for my Fantasy Football team
9-0 now. One more and he'll have conceded the most goals in a single game in the Premier League.
Except they finished second in the Championship last season with pretty much the same team. Just shows the difference in standard - there's about 50 Irish players in the Championship this season but most of them are miles off the level of the Premier League.Quote:

It is concerning how bad Bournemouth are, manager will be under pressure and could change things in goal even though Mark has been doing ok
Honestly you're part of the problem as a goalkeeper in a 9-0 defeat. I don't get this idea where 'was he at fault for any of the goals', yeah he was collectively. He might have bad communication, make the defenders nervous with his positioning, one of the goals he was all over the place when the ball came into the box, might have been the second.
I might have gone down the Pub playing with that defence in front of me.Quote:

They did get a win already
They not 100% gone after 4 games
Its a crazy decision to sack him. He got them up and has no funds it appears
I genuinely believe they should sign jason knight and Andrew O.
The owner's comments were telling as to why he got the chop. It was because of the comments Parker made after the disaster at the weekend that the club was not investing as it should in playing staff capable of competing in any way with the top half of the premier league. The owner basically told him he'd run the club his way and if Parker is not on board he can leave. Contrasts sharply with what Nottingham Forest have done in the transfer market which is quite stunning in terms of financial outlay. They are saying " we're back and we're here to stay". Its a riskier approach in the long run but i would also put money on them staying up and becoming an established PL team again.Quote:

I think any coach worth his salt will look closely at all the players that performed to get them out of the Championship and Travers was, as we know, huge in that. I also have this long held belief (rightly or wrongly - i've yet to be convinced otherwise!) that the gap between a top keeper in the premier league and a top keeper in the championship is far less of a gap than that between the top strikers in each division. So, you're not always really trading up that much when it comes to your keepers at that level...
Omobamidele only signed a four year contract this summer. Unless he's got a release clause in his contract you'd want to be spending big big money to have any chance of getting him atm.Quote:

Dropped for tonight's game with Wolves.
Not unexpected. Caretaker manager, 9 goals last game, established alternative available, reasonable to change things around and try a new keeper from their perspective. Obviously, disappointing through our green tinted glasses but understandable decision
Neto opens with a clean sheet, not much to do apparently a couple of routine saves. Vindicates decision, it’s a results game after all
Putting a scarecrow in goal would have vindicated tonight’s decision…Quote:

So be it, unlucky for Mark. Let’s see if new manager comes in soon
On the bench again today. Was looking decent at half-time, with Bournemouth 2-0 down at Nottingham Forest and Neto having been booked for giving away a penalty in first half injury time. But they came back to win 3-2, so the manager might feel inclined to give that team more time together.
Neto very dodgy at the end, terrible attempted punch I think or perhaps a bad catch attempt. The result probably keeps his position, but not on personal merit
Bournemouth Daily Echo notes (4 Oct) that Harry Redknapp nominated goalkeeper Neto in his Premier League team of the week – describing the Brazilian as ‘Gary O’Neil’s first-choice goalkeeper’. It was the first time since October 2020 the 31-year-old former Barcelona backup keeper has started four consecutive league games.
Neto had been named by Alan Shearer as the top-performing goalkeeper in the final game before the international break.
Unfortunately for Mark T and for the BIG, it looks like he will have to spend much of the PL season on the bench.
Any chance of a loan for Mark Travers ?Quote:

Nothing trivial I hope.
He had little enought to do in what I saw of the second half. One shot relatively central which he beat away comfortably. Initially I thought it was a bit unconvincing, as did the co-commentator, but watching the front-on angle I though he did well, taking no chances with a hard shot and beat it away from danger quite firmly. No chance with the pen, even if it was a bit Shay Given-like in diving as far away as possible from the ball :)
Hopefully he will do well today against spurs again… big opportunity for Mark to reestablish himself now
Looks to have had a disaster today? Anyone see it?
Seems to have talent, but with fragile confidence.
Just saw goals. Second goal was disaster. Terrible attempt at dealing with corner. 3rd goal another corner, but stayed on his line, couldn’t do anything with shot. Bournemouth will be anxious to get Neto back asap
Neto is not expected back until the New Year(Talksport); four PL games and one League Cup game between now and 31 Dec.
Im sure Bournemouth will evaluate all options including current back up and emergency loan options. Travers will need a few solid games if he keeps getting chances
