Romeu has been great for us, but maybe his suspension could be a blessing as we won't end up with a midfield of defenders.

 

Stick Clasie deepest, JWP and Hojbjerg just in front. Hojbjerg is at his best when he's running at a team with the ball.

 

Attacking 3 of Redmond, Boufal and Long.

 

Back 4 picks it's self.

 

Urgency and pace in the final third is all we're asking for.

What kit will we be wearing?

 

A tricky one f'sure - it's on tv too, so I wonder if Sky will insist on a one-off third kit like they did with Newcastle a couple of seasons ago?

 

With them wearing this:

 

bournemouth-16-17-kit-4.jpg

 

I can see us wearing some hideous combination of the home shirts, grey shorts and white alternate socks which the U19s wore at Old Trafford - if we don't have a new (probably white) thing planned.

 

No idea, btw, just speculation based on logic - we can't wear too much red, or black...

 

Maybe we'll get away with Bournemouth being made to wear an away shirt or something. They have an ugly blue one and a more ugly lime green/yellow one.

Just hope the players are up for this one because Bournemouth will be. Last seasons defeat there was arguably the worst performance of the season. No heart or fight.

Bournemouth win. If we don't score with 15 mins, we will slowly bore the tears off of everyone

 

Mixing your idioms.

Given your standing and popularity on this place, I take that as the highest compliment pal.

 

By the way, do you ever contribute anything football or subject-related on this place?

It's painfully obvious you don't care about popularity :lol:

 

Except when you pile in and pick on easy targets, presumably because it's sanctioned by others. You're a cowardly **** as well as a crushing bore.

Well at least we can't really do any worse then we did in this fixture last season. If he rests Boufal it'll be madness, he looked really good last night. I'd start him, Redmond and Tadic, but I think there's more chance of hell freezing over then him doing that.

Howe's tactic of doubling up down the wings worked brilliantly last season. Even though that was (initially) against a different formation i.e. a back three, I can see him trying something similar and exploiting the narrowness of the diamond.

Lucky we don't play the diamond then isn't it

Call it what you want, point stands regardless. We tend to be quite narrow in the middle of the park, leaving the fullbacks exposed.

It's not a derby.

 

They think it IS a derby.

 

They'll be up for it.

 

We'll lose, but it'll probably be a boring 1-0.

 

We'll be slow and ponderous.

 

The squad will be rotated with 23 new players.

 

The trains are f**ked that day.

 

I think that covers it from a Saintsweb perspective?? :)

I'd be happy enough with a point from each of the next three games, although two points and a win would be great.

 

Romeu being missing is annoying, particularly as we have a ten day break after. It would have been better to be suspended for one of the hectic run after Xmas. But never mind.

 

I'd go with:

 

Forster

 

Cedric

Fonte

Van Dijk

Bertrand

 

Reed

Clasie

 

Long

Boufal

Tadic

 

Jay Rod

 

But we will play 4-3-3 with Davis, Hojbjerg or JWP instead of Long or Jay Rod I expect.

Can't we play someone else other than Ward-Prowse?

Urgency and pace in the final third is all we're asking for.

 

Don't get why Tadic isn't a better option here. Long and Redmond are much of a muchness if they are playing as a striker. As wingers, Redmond is creative and Long just pace. But if you are playing with Redmond/Long up front, both of them will just be making runs behind. In that sense I prefer to stick with Redmond (he is on/off but you've always got the bench if he's having a stinker) and use Tadic, because Redmond brings something Long doesn't in terms of beating people 1v1.

 

If our approach now is slick attacking passing the ball etc there is little point having a Long. He is useful for example against Man City when we are playing the counter attack. He won't 'unlock' defenses like others will.

 

Bournemouth are rather good at home of late and I suggest the only way we will win isn't to have this approach where we hit top gear by minute 75. Against compact defensive teams we will suffer because a) we can't use the pace of Long/Boufal/Redmond/Cedric, as there is no space behind and b) because we have no centre forward target man to exploit the height, a la Pelle

 

So if we let it get to that stage, with Bournemouth playing it tight after going 1-0 up, we will never equalise.

 

We need to be on the front foot from the beginning, open the game up and exploit the attacking knowhow, and killer passes, of Boufal, Tadic, Hojbjerg and the fullbacks.

I reckon I can predict half the scoreline.

 

You are right there

It's madness to think if we play the same way

with out of form strikers we are likely to get a different result

from the goal famine

 

No goal Long & just 2 Rodriguez hardly likely

to have Bournemouth ****ting themselves

There's engineering between Brockenhurst and Bournemouth on Sunday morning, earliest train down there is 10.57 from Brock.

 

Forster

 

Cedric

Fonte

Van Djik

Bertrand

 

Clasie

Reed

 

Redmond

Boufal

Tadic

 

Long

 

Likelihood of him playing this team? Zero.

I agree, he is one player who could get a goal out of nothing, plus i am less inclined to rest him considering he is off to the African Cup in January, get as much use out of him now as possible and if he picks up a knock and gets injured he can stay here and recover instead of going off for a month.

 

last season was one of the worst away games i've done for a while, awful atmosphere, terrible game, they really really hate us and you could see how much it meant to their fans and players to get a win. When we come up against teams who want it more than us we often seem to fail, definitely need to get the players in the right mentality. I'm hoping we can rely on our defenders to give us a chance, 12 clean sheets this season so far is impressive.

Thread summary to date :

 

They have a far superior manger to us - FACT

They have a far superior attitude than us - FACT

 

Really strange that they sit below us in the league, eh ???
