Bournemouth (a) pre-match thread

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

How can Sagna play at CB over Vinnie or Ota? Asking for trouble.

What if it's fern?

 

[meeesh]

You've gotta applaud his decision in not splitting up too much a winning team,however if he had been as strong a bit sooner we may not have been this far behind

 

[Dax777]

Any chance Sagna and Fernandinho may be switched on the pitch?

I think Dihnp place RB and Sagna plays LB

 

[hinchcliffes bulbous conk]

Rat boy,he was reminded how we won it in 2012 he said we can't do it again

Pretty much what most on here have been saying though..,

It's certainly not 442 whatever.

its os adaptable.....in the last game it looked like we just had two at he back at times (certainly when we had the ball) ...the good thing about dihno is that he is so intelligent and able to follow what Pep wants so when we don't have the ball he was always int he right place when defending in the swansea game)

only problem i worry about here is the fast break if there is a sudden break down in midfield........kolarov is so slow he can't and doesn't recover and that leaves stones one on one sometimes with dihno busting his arse to get back.......thats why id want company there as one on one we have no one better......maybe pep is saving company for the champs league game????

I was hoping Fernandinho on the right was a one-off. I am sure he can play well there, but where is the defensive midfield player? That's very high risk. Hope we don't regret that.

Kompany and Aguero were marginal decisions. Bit surprised neither start, but we don't see what they are like in training

Neville talking us down

What's he saying ? Let me guess underachieving with money spent and squad we have..

 

[SWP's back]

Kompany's gotta start. Pep says his fit. Everyone knows he's our best centre half. How is he gonna proove his fitness sitting on the bench? Cant understand the logic.

Maybe he's wanting to ease him back as he's spent three seasons injured?

 

[waspish]

Said on another thread that next year can see only Silva being left of the old guard.

 

[deano ou812]

Has anyone mentioned that if we win we will only be 8 points behind Chelsea?

Didn't realise that,but I do know if we win we can go second ;-)
