Bournemouth (away) pre-match thread

City Watch reported it. Having De Bruyne back would be a big lift, although I suspect he might only be a sub at Bournemouth, with one eye on PSG.

These sailors are going to get one pell of a lesson in football this weekend. It's no more Mr Nice guy as far as Pellegrini is concerned. We are going to see from Saturday until the end of the season just how 'nice & charming' Senor Manuel is. Hang on Pablo1...your in for the ride of a lifetime.

I can't wait - hope the excitement doesn't finish poor Manuel off.

Ha ha. That's very good. He's a lot stronger than people realise. It's a skill being able to keep cool under immense pressure from knob'ead journos & others constantly calling for his head. Anyways it's the business end of the season now. Its time for "Will the real Pellegrini please stand up?" Eminem style ;-)

KDB's rest (yes i know he was rehabbing) might also bring his form back to what it was in the fall.
-he was tearing it up, and it seemed like the schedule was taking a toll. If he can play close to fall form, i think our worries about top 4 go away quickly.

Shit i forgot about willy,no clean sheet then so we had better have our shooting boots on then

If they get anywhere near our goal, hack 'em down. Penalty ! Job done. They'll never score ;-)

Ooh, MEN recon both Nasri and Delph might be fit. I bet Bournmouth are shitting their pants

well they are both better than anything the mighty AFC Bournemouth have in their squad .

Played just 19 League games but 4th in the Premier league assists table and 12 goals in all competitions. He has been our most influential player. I'd like to see him given a free role. Pellegrini seems to be willing to build his team around some players and make all kinds of allowances but if we did the same for KDB we'd get bigger rewards

This Bournemouth game perhaps comes a bit too soon for us with the injured players not having much football and the game being so close to PSG. We need to take 4 points from Bournemouth and WBA and then with KDB, Nasri and Delph back in the flow we should be able to finish the season strongly.

Hopefully KDB's return will give the whole squad a much needed lift

I'm sorry mate but injuries and Champions League tie still being considered, we need to be taking 6 points off of these two teams with no fear of relegation and nothing to play for.
