Batman Posted 18 December, 2016 Share Posted 18 December, 2016 Not many of those teams have played the amount of games we have though either. Get over it, back the team. The team picked is capable of winning, if it doesn't, it wont be because they aren't good enough...(It'll probably be because we've not taken our chances tbf). JWP over Reed and Tadic over Redmond are the only two I'd change. We know the club doesn't think Fonte can play 3 games in 7 days and at 33 i don't think that's a ridiculous thought to have. Davis has not exactly been great all season has he? Hardly a must starter, and without Romeu then Reed is the natural step in. The game will be much more open than the last two as Bournemouth wont sit behind the ball all game so I can see the logic to use Redmond over Tadic. given our rotation policy, i bet our players have played a similar amount to say, bournemouth's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manuel Posted 18 December, 2016 Share Posted 18 December, 2016 Even with supposed interest from other clubs I can't see Fonte throwing a strop and not performing. Surely more likely being rested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5string Posted 18 December, 2016 Share Posted 18 December, 2016 Bournemouth only make 1 change from midweek (compared to our 6) look forward seeing us bully them all over the pitch seeing how we will be far more 'fresh' than them I'm sure we'll bully the possession, say 64%. But on recent form, we'll concede from their only shot on target, have about 24 shots, 7 on target, no goals. I hope it will be different, though. I'd accept 20% possession, 4 shots, 5 goals (incl an og), clean sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Posted 18 December, 2016 Share Posted 18 December, 2016 Yoshi has been easily as good as Fonte this season, who already played midweek. The goals will come eventually for J Rod, I'm not sure who you'd rather play instead. No way yoshida been as good. Fonte has been fab recently.

suewhistle Posted 18 December, 2016 Share Posted 18 December, 2016 Strolling off down the pub to watch very shortly: I have a pretty good record there... Pleeeaassse. I can see why Davis and Tadic are on the bench: both haven't been at their best recently and Tadic still looks a bit tentative after his injury. I really don't know for this one, but it would be nice if we just clicked a few times and had the rub of the green. Time for Hojbjerg to score, I feel... See you later.

I think he is saying he is fine with both positive and negative points of view. They are point of views. What isn't is calling people names or labelling them as something because they don't share the same view. Personally I agree. If you are happy then awesome. If your not then fine! Explain the reasons why you think that. I don't want to read about people being called happy clappers or wrist cutters. That's childish and isn't offering any view other than to try and get people to retaliate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrfahaji Posted 18 December, 2016 Share Posted 18 December, 2016 I haven't been happy with how we've played recently, and I'm not convinced about the selection, but let's just see how it pans out. As someone pointed out earlier, in theory we should have good energy levels which will marginally work to our advantage. If we don't, then I'm not sure what the point is of the rotation, other than the argument of "we lost 2-0 but if we hadn't rotated it would have been 5-0"...
