Bournemouth (A) - Sun 30th Mar, 16:30 | FA Cup | Pre-Match Thread

[MCFC1993]

Kick off time 16:30 (BST).

End of the road? Think we'll find this one incredibly tough.

15 days away, might find our passing boots in those 2 weeks.

 

[youngbob]

Hahahaha.

 

[Maccblue]

Can’t wait !

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

After the last 2 "performances" don't see it happening for us.
Can't even expect a reboot with the International break - here's hoping for no injuries for those away

 

[hertsblue]

Go into every game now wondering where a win will come from. Cannot see it here as we will be set up the same, and they will simply be too fast and too powerful for us. They could easily have put 5 past us in the league fixture

 

[DTKOAG]

Was very impressed with them at Spurs last week.
Played the press better than us in our pomp.

 

[jimharri]

Can't honestly see us progressing, to be honest. Particularly with it being played down there.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

They will fuckin destroy us

 

[Damanino]

this worries me.

I guess most of their players will not be off for international duty which means quite a long and good preparation for them for this one FA cup game. it will allow them extra fitness to press us which our players will hate so much.

our players will return injured from shit international games like 2 days before this game.

fuck.

Iraola will watch the Forest and Brighton games to find the patterns to hurt us same as the game we lost at their stadium in the PL already few months back.

I would hope Pep can now spend 2 weeks with Lillo to work at least in theory on the tactics, but I guess he will be off to Spain, Grealish off to the pubs to watch England games lol.

right now its hard to see what would instantly change tactically that allows us to win this game. Iraola's tactics is really a bad fit for us now.

we had mighty great draw Salford, Leyton, Plymouth, that ends now in the FA cup. hopefully it wont end our whole run in the cup but unless Pep will outsmart Iraola it will.

 

[Gorbachev]

7-0 Bournemouth

 

[Tricky_Trev]

They ought to beat us comfortably with the way they press. We have no clue how to deal with it. Then upon winning the ball, their attacking play is full of energy and purpose. I reckon 3-1 Bournemouth tbh.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

I can’t see us winning this the way we are playing. We need to raise our game and I’m not sure we are capable of that at the moment.

 

[Baggins.mcfc]

Can't believe the negativity of this thread. We will smash them.

 

[King Jay]

0-3 loss

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

Nothing in that team tells me we can win this game we are crap and that's it.

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Can't believe the negativity of this thread. We will smash them.

 

[super_city_si]

On form this should be the end of our cup run.

 

[Gigant]

Ederson
Reis
Khusanov
Dias
Gvardiol
Nico
Gundogan
Marmoush
Echeverri
Savio
Haaland

 

[BlueMonkey79]

We will get absolutely pummeled and deservedly so. This team deserves nothing on the back of the shower of shite served up every week.

Mistake after mistake after mistake. And absolutely clueless going forward.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Going to get out footballed by Bournemouth for the second time this season. Then pep will tell us they're so, so good. Do things better than us and we cannot compete before claiming we played well. Tbh if we're going to go out, it may aswell be this round and save on the annual costly wembley trip.
