Bournemouth (H) - Sun 2nd Nov, 16:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[MCFC1993]

Kick off time 16:30 (GMT).

Another Sunday kick off, getting sick of them already.

I rate Iraola highly, this Bournemouth side play the type of football that could cause us issues, so fast in transition and play some really tidy football.

Unsure on injuries, hopefully Rodri is getting closer.

----------Donnarumma
Nunes---Dias---Gvardiol---O'Reilly
----------------Nico/Rodri
--------Cherki-------Reijnders/Bernardo
---Foden-------Haaland--------?????

Tempted to say sack the wingers off, pack the midfield and get Foden and Cherki near Haaland.

Bench:
Trafford
Stones
Ake
Khusanov
Lewis
Kovacic
Reijnders
Savinho
Doku

Assuming Rodri wont be ready yet and will still be out. Ait Nouri needs to play his way in and looks well off so far.

Looks like it's probably a big coat with the possibility of a snood if the weather takes a turn for the worst.

 

[PragueBlue]

Would like to see this some time. Probably too early for Rodri:

Donnarumma

Nunes Dias Gvardiol O'Reilly

Gonzalez Rodri

Cherki Foden Doku

Haaland

FBs providing the width with Cherki and Doku playing a little more inside. If Rodri isn't fit to start, then Kovacic (if fit) or Bernardo.

 

[Gabriel]

The right-hand side has looked physically weaker of late, so if Semenyo plays over there, we’re going to need more experience/muscle. Wouldn’t be at all surprised to see Bernardo out there helping Nunes.

 

[colorado blue]

Nunes right wing to cover Kush.

 

[MCFC1993]

Nunes right wing to cover Kush.

Khusanov cant start this one after tonight, Semenyo will run riot.

[RayCTID]

Similar outcome to last seasons game at the Etihad although we cannot afford to go through the motions in this. There were more variation in our game vs Swansea which is more encouraging.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

One less attacking player, please.

No Savinho or Bobb.

Looks like it's probably a big coat with the possibility of a snood if the weather takes a turn for the worst.

What's the rest of your starting 11 though?

I'll take a guess at.

Boots
Wooly socks
Underpants
Long John's
String vest
T-shirt
Shirt
Jumper
Gloves

[blue b4 the moon]

Lots of home games coming up 5 out of the next 6 matches, not all easy games but we can get ourselves in a very good position if we can perform.

 

[OldhamBlue94]

Would love to see this once Rodri is back fit
