Michael Carrick gave a passionate press conference calling for a response from his team. It’s fair to say he didn’t get it.

The first goal came via a poorly-defended free-kick, with Rayan finishing well at the far post, but where was any kind of marking?
Leny Yoro then bizarrely fell over just inside his own penalty area, allowing Adrien Truffert to cross to an unmarked Marcus Tavernier. Just far too easy for the Cherries, who were good value for their lead.
Then another total mix-up saw United goalkeeper Senne Lammens stranded outside his penalty area, though in fairness Evanilson finished superbly from distance and from a difficult angle.
See below for the key stats in this game, with Carrick’s side just not creative or positive enough considering they were at home and in desperate need of a result.
We can surely expect an official sacking statement imminently.
Antonio Conte doesn’t look like the best option, but who else is there?
