Sorry like, but in response to those who would take a draw. If you want us to be competing for the Champions League, or even Europe, then a draw away to Bournemouth would have to be a result you have to be disappointed with.

If we are going to compete for the Champions league we are going to likely need a couple quality signings and a Gordon back in form. Getting Tonali back will also hopefully help massively.

 

But as we stand right now I would be perfectly happy with a draw, think that is just being realistic based on our current circumstance.

One of those where we should be aiming to win, but a point wouldn't be terrible. 

 

Both sides rely on the high press, but Bournemouth do look a bit short up top.

 

Don't think there will be much in it at all, but I'll back us due to our superior firepower. 1-2 win.

I take your point, but we drew twice with these when we finished 4th.

This will be tricky. Long way to travel and these have been a bit of a bogey team of late. Keep it tight and if we can get Gordon in the game I'm hoping we can nick it. We'll need Burn to follow up on last week with another good show and hopefully Joelinton bang up for an away day battle.

It's a very basic metric but win your home game and draw your away = 76 points.

 

Which is enough to get you Champions League. While I wouldn't be ecstatic with a point, it wouldn't be a disaster.

 

That said, we need to win this game, mainly as our away from was so poor last season that getting a good start would set a precedent.

Eddie knows we need to improve our away form from last season. I wonder what practical steps you can take to do that, other than just being better/improved game plans. Would love to know what the coaching team have tried, if they've tried owt. 

 

Tomorrow's game will be a small but good indicator whether it'll continue to be an issue this season.

Joelinton, Kelly.
