Bournemouth (h) pre-match thread

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

After last night's performance I can't see Leicester beating the rags.

Hoping Dave is back.
The fact that Pep played Gundy last night might indicate the Magician will make his return on Saturday.

Any win will do me, Bournemouth need something from the game to halt their slide so I'm expecting a bit of drama breaking them down initially, however, City will win, hopefully without conceding a soft goal like we have been recently at home.

Exactly. Was mentioned before as well.

Pep only used 3 of his 4 available subs (given it went to extra time). If David was not ready for the weekend, I expect Pep would of subbed Gundogan off much earlier for Delph. He gave Gundogan 120 minutes meaning he won’t be starting on Saturday.

Be interesting to see what side Bournemouth out tonight against Chelsea.

They either go full strength tonight or Saturday.

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

Rumours Aguero is carrying an ankle injury, possibly no Merlin and Bernardo played last night also, every chance they'll start.

 

[Easy]

Don’t know what Mangala’s situation, but whether fit or not Tosin has earned a start. Out played Mangala in the Wolves and Leicester matches and they were about even against Shakhtar. I am doubtful that Pep will give Tosin a start but let’s see. Think he would play even better being surrounded b

Gundogan given 120 minutes last night means he’ll be on the bench as will Jesus.

Another strong line-up with most of our starters very well rested, this could be a blow out.

Would love to see Tosin given a start. Think he deserves now and I cant see Bournemouth causing too many problems. Would also like Bernardo to be given a chance in the middle instead of out wide.

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 ;-).

Yeah I’m superstitious now and believe we will lose unless we have the potential banana skin comment in every pre match thread

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.

I don't see Leicester getting anything sadly.... the rags just aren't anybody's cup final at present are they so they seem to just not bother turning up
