Bournemouth (H) - Sun 2nd Nov, 16:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[Eaststander1]

We need to stop Semenyo, no chance if we play Khusanov and Ait Nouri as full back if they play like they did yesterday.

Best way to stop him is to buy him in January!

 

[Ken92]

3 tough and very important home games coming up, really hope team is up for that rough week ahead.

 

[Zenmanc]

Also, when was the last time Stones played in the LCB position?

Villareal

 

[Stoned Rose]

I’ll tell you now if we’re not absolutely bang at it, these will bum us all over the gaff.

Mmmmm, must win , will win I’m going for

Am not asking that much

My only doubts would be
Bernardo(Kovacic) or Rejinders

Would love to see this once Rodri is back fit

Like it, but can’t help feeling it looks like an arrow pointing the opposition towards our goal!

I like that, and think having Bernardo and a recovering Kova on the bench gives some impetus for the midfielders to perform.

However, I would switch Reijnders & Foden’s positions.

Rodri!
Hopefully he can get going this season now.

 

[big gaz]

I don't think Khusanov should be anywhere near starting after his display yesterday. He'll need to be slowly brought back up to speed from the bench as and when possible.

So Gvardiol and his shit passing gets a pass ;-)

Along with Matty Cash

Yorkshire Iberia fc?

 

[Axel Freed]

Cherki looked fatigued 2nd half, keep him on the bench and bring him on at HT if we’re say 3-0 up

No chance of dropping points in that scenario

He won't be coming on then.

Not a chance do we go 3-0 up in the first half against this Bournemouth team.

The game will be a 2-1, 3-2 game, these are a top quality, well coached team.

He is 22, if he cannot play 2 games in the space of 3/4 days, one of which was against a second division team, he might as well pack his career in now.

Not sure I get the point. It's too risky to play Cherki, unless we are 3 up?

 

[PragueBlue]

Not as bad as Khusnv today. He was truly awful ;-)

So Gvardiol and his shit passing gets a pass ;-)

No City player has assisted more goals than Gvardiol so far despite him missing several games due to fitness problems. Imagine if his passing wasn't shit :)

3rd season on the run we have played Bournemouth on this corresponding weekend
