Happinesstan Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 It won't be easy, but I'm quietly confident that we can get the 3 points. Recent performances have re-affirmed my faith that Rafa has had it right all along, That little bit that everybody has in reserve will give us a massive boost and might even level the playing field.

Interpolic Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Think it'll be a draw, which would be alright. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Said it before, but a win here is massive. If we do manage to win it then we are 3 wins or 2 wins and a draw away from safety. A win here and hopefully other results go our way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1964 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I doubt Slimani will start following the Man Utd result but you never know with Benitez Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest covmag Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I doubt Slimani will start following the Man Utd result but you never know with Benitez really? if he's fit i think he is certain to start, he's what we have been crying out for, have paid a huge loan fee for so why sit him on the bench? get him in.

STM Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 That's the beauty of Rafa, no fucker knows. It depends on the confidence of his fitness. Rafa might decide to bring him on as an impact sub. Hope he starts though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackyboy Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Tough one this. On their day Bournemouth play some good football and are very good on the break. I'd be thrilled with a win but happy with a draw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 They're a decent side and in good form but it's a very winnable game for both sides. A draw would be okay but still an opportunity missed. We'll probably lose after all the recent positivity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Gonna be a hard game, I just hope we can maintain a performance for 90 minutes and Although a draw wouldn’t be a bad result, 3 points would be great and really help us and fuck others up down there. Fingers crossed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away Day Gadgie Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Gonna be a hard game, I just hope we can maintain a performance for 90 minutes and Although a draw wouldn’t be a bad result, 3 points would be great and really help us and f*** others up down there. Fingers crossed. This is the key for me. Too often we only play well for 30 or 45 minutes. Keeping a good level of performance for 90 minutes was the difference between getting skull-fucked and taking the 3 points against Manure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 2-2 I reckon but hoping for a fairly realistic 1-2 win. A win vs these lot would be fairly big given the way it is at the bottom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Despite him putting in an okay shift last time I'd still have no confidence in Gayle here and Joselu is just laughable. Cold harsh truth is Slimani is a superior footballer to them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 They've scored 11 out of their 31 goals from set pieces. For us, its 9 out of 25. If there is any doubt, it might be a reason to play Slimani over Gayle, at both ends of the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPL Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Dubravka Yedlin Lascelles Lejeune Dummett Diame Shelvey Murphy Merino Kenedy The Real Slimani Think he’ll go the same team vs Man Utd, no way will he drop Ritchie and Perez as they have shown they are important to how we play. Only change would be the striker if Slimani is fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Dubravka Yedlin Lascelles Lejeune Dummett Diame Shelvey Murphy Merino Kenedy The Real Slimani Probably my ideal team on paper, but Ritchie and Ayoze will probably start imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I wouldn't drop Ritchie now, against his old team as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Ritchie can't be dropped after last game like. Only change for me would be Slimani if he's fit but even that's harsh on Gayle after his performance. Won't be fussed if there's no changes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Dropping resting Ritchie wouldn't be beyond Rafa, and it's pointless second guessing him, but I wouldn't be disappointed with the same team as last time. With the added anticipation of Slimani from the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
