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

[Sky Blue Thinking]

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

Maybe best to leave the beach ball at home

 

[burning blue soul]

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

Referee: Craig Pawson.
Assistants: Marc Perry, Steve Meredith.
Fourth official: Anthony Backhouse.
VAR: Simon Hooper. Assistant VAR: Ian Hussin.

Pawson is a shockingly bad ref. He makes me nervous just being in a 50-mile radius of Manchester, nevermind reffing our effing game! :(

I think Ake should get minutes. He's really done little to be dropped and Gvad the Impaler didn't have a great one vs. ManUre

Don’t agree on either score I’m afraid
Don’t think Nathan has started the season that well by his own standards and despite giving one ball away early on, thought Josko was excellent again on Sunday

Anyone know what the minutes silence will be for this game ?

I know you were being slightly tongue in cheek but.....

If TINY votes lose, I'm with him. Always a good sign.

A nice 5 nowt should be the order of the day.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Has to be the same team that beat the Rags, They all deserve to keep their place in the team.

Bournemouth have been very poor so far this season, Very hard to see anyone coming to our place and getting something. We are incredible at home, Teams just come now to keep the score down.

4-0

Haaland hat trick and Foden with the other.

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.

Where's the disrespect? It's 4 changes from the derby, ake was our best defender last season and bournemouths former captain, doku was very unfortunate not to start in the derby, nunes is our new £60 million midfielder and kovacic is a 4 times champions league winner. Pep started a weaker side away to young boys.

Shame we're out of the League Cup so early as these are the perfect games to keep squad players happy.
