duo

Gayle was good imo

1st half - did nothing second but the same could be said of the whole team.

Play this lad with Mitro and watch him shine - they had a good understanding.

If we had Begovic and Bournemouth had Elliot we would had won this game.  A quality keeper makes all the difference and Elliot is not one.  His distribution is awful.

This lad looked way out of his depth. 

Taken a hit. Took out Ward, Eriksen & Morata for Dunk, Sterling & Aguero.

I've left in Morata as he's always looked like scoring and is a cert to start.  Augero plays in Champions League so Pep seems to rest him in the league.

Mitro - 2 goals in 120 minutes (League & Cup)

Joselu - 2 goals in 652 minutes

Gayle - 0 goals in 212 minutes

 

But he's a lunatic and hurts people.

I get it that Joselu works hard and chases the ball down and is props one of the reasons for us not conceding many goals.  But his lack of scoring ability is killing us - goals win games and for that we've no one better than Mitro.

We'd have won this with Merino - he's just the difference in this team

Rafa got his team and set up wrong here, the one thing he surely had to have learned from the last few games is that Joselu and Perez are rotten together. Should have changed it.

At least Mitro and Perez had an understanding.

Sean Dyche head just got bigger

I'll take Joselu out of my Fantasy football team - then he'll start bagging them in

Loosing to Burnley 

Curse of MNF - always loose

Marking was awful there.

Diame 

We so miss Merino in the middle of the park

Sean Dyche is quite full of himself - so hope we win.

Merino not in squad at all. Odd.

is he injured?

Coutinho was ruled out yesterday.

Not so - was 50/50 - late fitness test today.

Gambled on Coutinho to play ..

 

also gambles Man U v Spurs is 0-0 

Damn it !!

Still three months of tumbleweed left until the statement saying that Ashley has taken the club off the market.

^this 

Am sure when Ashley was buying the club the papers mentions a massive war chest. 

Lejeune's shoulder challenge in front of the Milburn Stand. Not many will beat him for strength 

His pass to Yedlin? (I think it was) in the 1st half - inch perfect - was Shelvey like.

He's a step up on Dummett - that'll do me for now.
