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

[noseve]

With our Swiss cheese defense and Chocolate fire guard keeper, I’m sensing a painful dry bumming

Cheers - I was just about to tuck into a ring doughnut :-(

 

[SWPISHOME]

Ederson

Nunes
Gvardiol
Khusanov
O'Reilly

Nico Gonzalez
Kovacic
Grealish

Doku
Marmoush
Haaland


It's never going to be the team, I'm sure we'll continue with Ruben Dias, Gundogan, Foden and others...

 

[No1 was Colin bell]

53% thinking we go through. Like it. Let’s have some faith. Blind faith I grant you. Maybe think of it as a one off cup tie type of game.

 

[Marvin.]

AFCB will be without Milos Kerkez and Dean Huijsen after picking up two yellow cards each in the FA Cup. They also might be without Luis Sinisterra.

 

[citeh94]

Dunno what gk if Ederson’s fit then him
Nunes
Khusanov
Dias
Gvardiol
Nico
Kova
Bernardo
Marmoush
Doku
Haaland

 

[Lee the Blue]

Kerkez and Huijsen both suspended for them so that helps.

No idea what sort of side we can field until players return from international duty. That said if we roll out Dads Army in midfield we'll get wiped.

I'd go with the formation we played with at Spurs where we looked our most solid in ages, so naturally haven't used it since - 4-2-3-1 with Kovacic alongside Gonzalez playing 2 holds to stop all the free runners at our back 4, and get some possession - then using the other 4 attacking players to go and win the tie.

Taking off my Blue specs I sadly think we are going out.

Ederson (he's been off colour but Ortega has been awful)

Nunes (toss a coin with Rico, either option is bad)
Dias
Khusanov
Gvardiol

Gonzalez
Kovacic

Foden (can get up/down the pitch so must play)
Marmoush
Doku/Savinho (not bothered which but actually putting the odd cross over wouldn't go amiss)

Haaland

I know he’s quick but don’t think Khusanov can play two positions

Meant Kovacic in midfield - my bad.

 

[Tevez City]

Done care about the result, just want to see Nico O'Rielly & Vitor start and have another outstanding game.

In top of that if we can see Bobb & Echeverri getting +20 minutes, that will be my happiest day of the season.

 

[Oyster28catcher]

Doom and gloom or positivity and bloom? It's as tight as a Scouse League Cup Winners' t-shirt being dropped into the incinerator through a narrower than letterbox door.

I would guarantee that you wont see any of these 4 players anywhere near the field at Bournemouth bar a huge injury crisis over the international break.

The Telegraph lead with 'Iraola and Silva in Spurs frame' and go on to claim that "sources close to his [Iraola] camp have indicated that he would be interested in taking over at Tottenham".

Two weeks of that distraction?

Every little helps... :-)

I think theyll likely be better jobs available for him than the Spurs one if he shows patience.

Every little bit helps.

I want Iraola to replace Pep

 

[youngbob]

Ederson
Nunes, Khusanov, Dias, Gvardiol
Foden, Nico G, Kovacic
De Bruyne, Haaland, Savinho

Would like to see us put De Bruyne on the right for a bit. Just needs to keep swinging those crosses in for Erling.

What Utd fans want is irrelevant

 

[Columbia]

Play a very youthful team and get rid of the teachers pets who don’t or can’t run. I’d be tempted to play Carson as well.
