Didn’t watch game but from what I’ve read, Olise and Eze superb. If true, the two players I’d want playing well for future dreams look to be doing so and therefore all looks a lot brighter. There has to be little doubt this team is built upon an Andersen/Guehi foundation however. Nice to end year on a high! I’m thrilled

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

How do you assess a match like that? More or less the same team Guehi and Ward aside and yet 180 minutes of zero attempts versus 90 minutes of 15 attempts.

I think the big difference was that Bournemouth didn’t harass us and dominate the midfield like Fulham did, hence we were able to play more of our preferred style of game.

I suppose if we had 3 draws the last 3 matches then we would have been disappointed but not overly so and we are left in a position where we have the same number of points.

Bournemouth are in trouble I reckon and Fulham proved last week wasn’t a flash in the pan by winning again today so I can’t really decide if that was a decent performance or whether we were playing the worst team in the league.

Hope we haven't caught the lergy off them , we will need to be at it next week .
Decent enough effort today and a deserved win against a poor side who will be relegated

For us though I hope the recent poor form and bad luck is over for a while and we can grab a few points with the more challenging games to come

Keep calm and carry on , COYP

And we still need a striker

One big difference, Guehi for Tomkins. He is finished at this level. Shocking before he went off, then got himself dismissed for two petulant yellow cards when we were already down to 10 men - inexcusable. Well done today though, we needed the points with a tough run of fixtures upcoming.

This is what it ultimately comes down to IMO. When you look at the bare facts on Boxing Day Tomkins put pressure on the entire left side of the team and back four. Assisted by Schlupp going missing which in turn put Mitchell under pressure.

Let's pray they stay fit for the rest of season or Richards proves an able deputy when he's fit.

Huge moment in the season. Massive well done to Pat and the team today.

Good to see us winning a match which Zaha was not at his best in.
He played well, they all did but we are becoming better all round and less dependent on Wilf.
The man we really miss nowadays is Guehi. What a difference he made today.
The back four played very well today.
Three points was very pleasing and keeps us in a good place.
