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

[Chak19]

Gundogan, Kovacic, Silva and Kev all starting, only one missing is Lewis and it would've been a Pep grand slam, also good to see Marmoush rewarded for his performance and cracking goal against Brighton by being benched the very next game, Oh and nice to see Jack on the bench again too even if he probably won't play a single minute yet again.

 

[Gumzy97]

Bournemouth going for their first semi final in the Fa Cup so the players will be up for it.

Full of energy , against a midfield with the combined age of 97, what could possibly go wrong?

 

[Dogtanian]

Didnt expect that line up and feel completely underwhelmed, oh well here's hoping

 

[blue b4 the moon]

If I could turn back time.

Yeah 3 or even 2 years ago our 11 would piss the game at a canter....

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

It’s been such a funny season. Would have been a good chance to give some young lads a lot more playing time than they’ve had to see what they’ve got. But we ain’t gone that route. Shame

 

[mosssideblue]

diabolic starting eleven

Who would you pick and why do think Pep hasn’t?

 

[colbee59]

Not even kicked off yet, this forum is a joke, I'm out of here

 

[Shirley]

Some surrender monkeys on here…

 

[stonerblue]

Fucking hell. Yawn.

But he didn't say that. He praised the lad

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

team is old and slow , we will get overrun .

You know, Quasimodo predicted all this.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Bernardo RW again? That will be fun.

It’s hard not to feel like we’ve lost before a ball is kicked with that midfield.

Only thing missing is Rico at RB.

Could be a long 90 mins this.

 

[pavelsrnicek]

Burnley ffs.

Demon autocorrect

 

[ThreesKompany]

Only thing I can think is that Pep is hoping to save some guys for Wednesday but also playing the long game today. Old guys hopefully keep this tight for 50-60 and then can introduce fresh and younger players in tie that might go 120.

 

[big gaz]

One more time with the old band?

Think I'll have the Ice girl ready to go ;-) , just in case.

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

Didnt expect that line up and feel completely underwhelmed, oh well here's hoping

That line up is poor

 

[mosssideblue]

Same surrender monkeys on here…

 

[PragueBlue]

Yeah 3 or even 2 years ago our 11 would piss the game at a canter....

Khusanov might have been a tad young 3 years ago ;-)

 

[bearcityblu]

Pep goes with the old guard in midfield. Let's hope they are all rested and ready to go. Bournemouth have great energy so expecting a tough game.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Keep Kluivert quiet and were laughing.

Surprised Patrick hasn't togged out with us today.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Don't love the look of that midfield or eleven, which is mad how quickly that feeling has come about.

But if 2/4 get to anywhere close to their heights then we should be fine.
