Bournemouth (H) - Sat 4th Nov, 15:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

Hopefully, continue where we left off ftom the Swamp. Important phase of the season now and time to put a run together. I would go with the same 11 that started against the Rags, the players deserve it after the performance they put in.

Agree completely. Changes can be made midweek in CL game. Then back to the same team again for the weekend away at Chelsea

 

[St.Pauli support]

He surely can't give us the same treatment as Wolves away...

Any win will do no easy games


Apart from the rags of course!:))

 

[Stoned Rose]

These are getting an absolute bumming.

 

[Axel Freed]

If we’re 3-0 up at half time I’ll be particularly nervous

 

[burning blue soul]

8-0 City. Dueling hat tricks from Phil and Haaland, and Jack finally gets one pointed at the edges of the goal instead of the keeper.

C'mon mate, temper those expectations!

Why not? That lineup is more than good enough to be beating bournemouth at home. The new players will need to be relied upon this season, the squads too small to give them 12 months to settle barely featuring. After bournemouth tbis weekend and young boys midweek, we have chelsea away, Liverpool and spurs at home and villa away with Leipzig in-between which will hopefully be a dead rubber at that point. The likes of kovacic and nunes will be needed to get through that and need to be better than they currently are.

Pep will not disrespect the opposition in either of the next two games. Two strong teams likely to be named with game time for most of the squad. The following run of games in the league are difficult and will give us a good idea of what kind of shape the team is in.

Exactly

The most important game is the next one

Entire weeks rest on the back of a thumping derby win, feel like we don't just need a win here but a very convincing win and performance to really kick us into gear ahead of some very tough fixtures. I expect a couple of changes as there's not enough of the squad in good form for us to get through those fixtures in good shape. Expect at least one from kovacic or nunes to come in, we need those to be reliable options. Doku to start and Ake to come in.

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Ake
Gvardiol
Rodri
Kovacic
Nunes
Doku
Grealish
Haaland

No chance mate, that looks more like our team to play young boys next Tuesday
