Bournemouth (h) pre-match thread

Id start danillo hes miles better at centre back than mangala.danillo is quality .

Thought that myself when i watched the game the other day. Seemed tough at centre half. I'd take him or walker over mangala tbh

No need to buy VVD then, move Danilo for CB and recall Maffeo.

By doing that the club will save minimum of 50 millions.

Where is your evidence, pal? Would love to believe you but isn't he rather small for that role?

Didn't Howe admit after the game earlier in the season that he set out to frustrate and make the game 'niggly'

They took the lead with a thumping effort from Daniels and of course Sterling sealed it with a very late winner.

They were out-classed recently by Liverpool - every fucker seems to open up and try to play against them, thus making their weirdly exalted 'Fab 4' seem better than they they really are.

I reckon it'll be difficult to break them down, no way will they go to the Etihad and try and play football. I see them defending with mass ranks.

However, I am going 3-0 to City.

Tough game i think but we will come out on top .... Park the bus .... 2-0 anymore is a bonus they have had their drubbing from the bin dippers I don't expect the same from us they will be more aware

What Liverpool have going for them is that once everyone started going on about how bad their defence was all the teams fancied taking them on, but since the Spurs result I heard a stat that since then no team has faced less shots on target. Add that extra defensive soldity they have found along with a devasting counter attack, teams are getting mullered.

I wonder whether teams will go back to parking the bus against Liverpool just as they started doing to us.

Good to rest most of the first team tonight, and hopefully Silva will be back.

Ederson
Walker
Delph
Otamendi
Mangala
Fernandinho
D Silva
De Bruyne
Sterling
Sane
Aguero

I hope D Silva can play, but if not gundogan/bernardo for his place, and please drop mangala, I'd like to see Tosin play as starting line up or maybe put danilo as center half..

You mean sides like Everton and West Brom at home for instance (LOL).

 

[AliBobbyJ]

Any news on Silva? Do we know what his personal issues are yet?

We don't and we are not entitled to.

If we get an early goal, than this can become quite fun, and we could very well see a 4-0 score. But I suspect they will be hard o break down, and we will have to work hard for a 2-0 win.
