Bournemouth fans reflecting on what they witnessed when Newcastle United visited | OneFootball

Bournemouth fans have been reflecting on what happened when Newcastle United visited the Vitality Stadium on Sunday.

A match that ended in a goalless draw.

The two sides pretty much cancelling each other out, with only three efforts on target between them across the entire 90+ minutes.

So what did the Bournemouth fans make of it all?

BBC Sport asked Bournemouth fans for their thoughts after the visit of Newcastle United on Sunday:

Mick:

“The fact that a team like Newcastle comes to Vitality Stadium with a defensive setup and is determined not to lose shows the respect now being shown to Iraola’s team.

“Not our best display, but we never gave up trying to break down their low block.

“Impressive that our ‘short’ team held their own against Newcastle’s giants!

“Brilliant start to the season by the Cherries.”

Martin:

“Land of the Giants with this Newcastle team.

“Cherries needed more guile to unlock the defence but couldn’t find it.

“Had 0-0 written all over it.”

Jim:

“Solid performance.

“With all the changes this season, little old Bournemouth are playing so well!”

Rob:

“Been to every Cherries game this season, and the start has been immense, but here they were lacking intent.

“No crisp, sharp passes or real dynamism.

“Newcastle had made seven changes but there was no penetration or ability to cause consistent danger.

“Fourth as it stands though!”
