Bournemouth (h) pre-match thread

[lionheart]

Any win will do cause i can see united dropping points to Leicester

Sadly I predict that the Foxes will roll over and get their tummy tickled 0-3 a la Crystal Palace.

 

[cleavers]

Of course.

I only asked in case there been had a statement or something on social media that I wasn't aware of.

There hasn't been any statement issued on the subject, there was a report a couple of days ago that he was in Spain.

This weekend we should be able to cope without him, and whatever the issue is, I hope the club give him all the time he needs, we need him back fully focussed.

Big weekend this. The rags have a tough game and I think that could be a draw. Win this and we could go 13 ahead. That would put us in an even better position.

Ederson

Walker
Ota
Mangler
Delph

Dinho
Gundogan
KDB

Sterling
Jesus
Sané

Bravo, Zinchenko, Danilo, Bernardo, Adarabioyo, Aguero, Fodenho

Having just played over 130 minutes, I doubt that Jesus & Gundog will start. Maybe coming on for the last 25 minutes.

 

[york away to this!]

Can only see a very thorough bumming being administered.

...and your thoughts on the match?

Bournemouth if we get a early goal in the game we could be hitting a high score here. IF not some of games has been tricky against team. I like Eddie Howe and how he is getting them to play. I hope they stay in the league. We you would think should have enough to get the points at home. City to win by 3 is what I think. As for a team.
Eddie
Walker Ottamendi Mangala Delph
Sterling Fernadhino , KDB , Gundogan , Sane
Aguero.

If Silva is back and fit him in for Gundogan.

 

[Henkeman]

Absolutely, in the tradition of the pre match thread you can say that.
Right now someone has posted that we just need the few, " think we might draw or lose this one votes" and we have the perfect set up for another win.

Not that im superstitious or anything like that ;-).

In that spirit, can I be the first to say that Typical City will lose this?

Having just played over 130 minutes, I doubt that Jesus & Gundog will start. Maybe coming on for the last 25 minutes.

I think gundogan will if Silva is still out. He is getting much needed minutes in his legs. I expect aguero will start instead of Jesus though.

 

[K.Reeves right foot]

I fear for Bournemouth in this one, they are the one team we could really rack up a massive score against. I know we've played lower teams recently and found it tough but Eddie Howe (who I like as a manager) just doesn't do defensive set ups, his philosophy and players reflect this. They'll be conservative to a degree but not parking huge buses like Southampton, West Ham, the filth & Huddersfield. They don't have clog hoppers to kick us either. They'll open up by default but are low in confidence and ripe for us to take apart. That hammering that's been coming - similar to Stoke and Watford - is what I predict then I hope they get some results to reward their philosophy on limited resources. They put the filth to shame. I'm expecting a minimum of 4 possibly several more, I dont see it as the banana skin some have suggested, Palace away maybe. Hope I dont regret such optimism!

Let's give these fuckers a good drubbing after the kicking they gave our players at there place
