Bournemouth (a) pre-match thread

[Zenmanc]

0 - 3

Sterling doubles, Aguero

I wonder why Bernardo doesn't kick the ball right to the goal so many many times , he just got the right position , clear view to goal, and he just making another unnecessary dribbling or pass the ball to the side.

I don't know but he's fecking great.

Watching Sergio against Spuds i would say he isnt up to speed either fitness wise or mentally , no doubt he is still our best striker , but Jesus should start against Bournemouth , he's looked bright and full of running and if it wasnt for VAR would be alongside Raheem in the scoring charts. A few games on the bench and getting minutes as a sub wouldnt do Sergio any harm and get him up to speed in a month or so and back to his deadly self.

You can bet a large sum of dosh that the first time they go down in our box it will be a penalty. VAR will agree.
If we draw or worse,get beat, and VAR has had another hand in it, there will be some serious questions asked no doubt.

Need to score a few goals in this one to offset the cheats at VAR. 1-4 away win.

1-0

Penalty for Bournemouth after an Ederson hand ball inside the area.

KDb red card for crying too much sat in the centre circle. VAR review indicates that his ginger tears were of a dangerous and violent nature.

Unfortunately another disallowed goal due to fartage in the area by Laporte.

 

[Pete Campbell]

I'd be starting Fernandinho in this one. Either next to Laporte or instead of Rodri.

They will get a pen for something similar to but softer than what we didn’t get a pen for when Rodri was grappled down by the neck

If VAR screws us again we should all march to VAR headquarters and reinact a scene from Taken

Refs to be held to ransom until this cheating is stopped, if they ain't got anyone who can work the VAR then we only need to worry about the onfiled ref cheating us.

Record in matches officiated by Andre Marriner: 49 Matches Officiated 29 Wins 7 Draws 13 Defeats 80 Yellow Cards 3 Red Cards

I read that as 80 defeats in 49 matches then which made me not fancy our chances.

Eddy

Walker, dino, Laporte, Cancelo
Kev, Gund, Silva
Marhez, Aguero, Sterling

Lots of options here, wing backs and even dinho all pushing up at some point.

Gund as more attaking option and can dribble. Toss up between Marhez and Bernie.

Jesus and Bernie more option for 2half if not breaking them down.

Hope we have been training on half a pitch!
