Tbh the injury crisis has allowed me to hit that sweet spot in terms of expectations. Learned to cherish all these statement wins while being understanding of Bournemouth away type of games.

Conjo Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Still scarred by that away loss two seasons ago. Hate this match so much If they bring the same pressure on and off the pitch as that day it'll be a very difficult game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be enough to do the business within 70 minutes and then defend for our lives. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Only Longstaff likely to be back for this then? And even then he'd only be on the bench. It's going to be the same team again isn't it, aside from Pope ofcourse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is how we manage this and then Spurs away on the Sunday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

black_n_white Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Howe will go with the same eleven again here. We are going to have to make the changes for the spurs game, need the players as fresh as possible for the Milan game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack j Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 They have looked half decent this season But if that man u team can beat them 3 nowt last week then that gives me hope. I'd take a point, but i can see another Bournemouth esque result/performance popping up in the next couple of away games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Eddie is going to have to try and rotate/ rest players against Everton and Spurs. Milan is a huge game and be the main focus. I can see Ritchie/ Hall/ Dummett all starting at some point. It’s no exaggeration to say we’re only 2 injuries away from a potential further spiral of further injuries through fatigue. We can’t go on playing so well with such limited availability. There’s every chance we’ll see another Bournemouth performance in the next 2 games.

gbandit Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Aye, Hall needs to come in and do some decent minutes. Ritchie I think is realistically just an option off the bench, could do 20-30 mins. Our inability to change up our most exhausted players - Isak and Gordon is a major issue in terms of potential injuries Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Dubravka Tripps Lascelles Schar Hall Bruno Miley Joelinton Ritchie Livramento Gordon Major potential to backfire but this is the only game of the next three where not starting our strongest eleven seems at all like something we can maybe get away with. Don't think we'd be overrun with that midfield. Keep it tight and hope to nick a goal, then on 60 minutes release the hounds. Isak looks fucking knackered and we can't afford an injury to him, give him the last half hour and a better chance of being right for both Spurs and Milan. Tino didn't look great at RW against Dortmund but I reckon he'd have more chance of doing some damage cutting inside from the left. Ritchie obviously won't offer much threat but should do a job covering and protecting Tripps at least. Infuriating having all these injuries, feel like we're absolutely vibing off our faces as a team right now and with a good rotation available to us we'd blitz through this December fixture list.
