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

**joey B** · 27/08/2022, 2:31 PM

Tough day for him ,3 down in 30 minutes and not much he could do about them…

**Insidetherock** · 27/08/2022, 2:37 PM

Four now.. horrendous run of fixtures for Bournemouth to get at the start of the season really

**pineapple stu** · 27/08/2022, 2:48 PM

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.

**pineapple stu** · 27/08/2022, 3:42 PM

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

**Colbert Report** · 27/08/2022, 3:43 PM

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.

I think only the 7th was really a mistake from Travers, even then he made a good stop but the parry came off the wrong part of his hand and straight back to Firmino.

**tommy_c12000** · 27/08/2022, 4:48 PM

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

**irishultra** · 28/08/2022, 3:42 PM

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.

Scott Parker Sacked ~ ~ Interesting to see what happens now.

**JR89** · 30/08/2022, 9:02 AM

They'll probably get someone to do a job for the rest of the season before appointing someone full time to take over once relegated.

**Diggs246** · 30/08/2022, 12:42 PM

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

**Diggs246** · 30/08/2022, 12:43 PM

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.

Regarding Travers... i dont think shipping 9 goals means the new coach will put in the new keeper. It would be really knee-jerk to just blame the keeper. 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.

How much 8m?
That's football and if you want to stay in the Premier league you have to take some chances
