Me too. It was racing ten to the dozen. It wasn't perfect today, by any stretch and they're a decent team.

To be honest, despite the run we're on, I still don't expect us to finish above seventh, but it's giving the second half of the season a bit more of a purpose.

Rivington Pike mate.
I see it every day when I draw back the curtains first thing in the morning.
Unless it's dark, raining or misty, but those five or six days of the year when I see it are kind of nice.
think we just sat back a bit too deep mate - invited too much pressure and one moment of quality (Wilshere) opened us up.
Then we panicked a bit. but we recovered well as soon as Holgate came on and we shifted the dynamics. It threw Bournemouth.
Having some chips with mayo here.
Up the Ronny.

I'm not going to get too carried away, but he's in the midst of a very good run results wise and I can only be pleased by that 
The defending today was Martinez level bad though, and he needs to do something about that for the upcoming fixtures, but I thought he made good subs today and I also think he won't stand for another defensive performance like that (Which might mean bad times ahead for Funes Mori)
What I will say for him is that he addressed that he wasn't happy about the defending and also admitted he felt we rode our luck at 3-2. Martinez would have put some kind of spin on how Bournemouth were "in a great moment of form" and how our attacking play was "Phenomenal" and basically talked around the issue. Koeman at least didn't hide from it, and I can respect that

I agree Dave, ultimately league placing is all that matters, ahead of arbitrary points totals, yes?
And BOOM, there goes the dynamite!

Tbf Mikey, the defending wasn't bad at all first half. we stopped bournemouth 100%
thing is, they came out asleep and sat back too deep. they just forgot how to play like they had for the entire first 45 - the whole team, not just the defence.
that invited pressure on and we couldn't withstand it. Panic struck a bit and you could get it that the crowd and players were anxious. I think he may have just left it a bit too late (only 5/10 mins like) to bring Holgate on, but in the end it worked well.
The last goal Bournemouth goal was more out of play than the Sterling fiasco last year. It was very fortunate, though Joel had to have a good game.
TBF, Bournemouth were throwing everything at it and are a good side going forward. But while we scored six, we could have ended the game as a contest straight after their first had McCarthy not fluffed his lines.
