Really looking forward to this game. Should think it will be pretty open but I'm interested to see our shape away to a team similar in ability to us. Going for a score draw but hopefully we can nick it. Hopefully Hughes gets a chance at some point too.
Just remembered there's a football match going on. HORNETS: Gomes (GK)(c); Femenía, Pr*dl, Britos, Holebas; Doucouré, Chalobah; Amrabat, Cleverley, Richarlison; Gray. Subs: Pantilimon (GK), Deeney, Hughes, Watson, Kabasele, Capoue, Okaka.
Glad we're not doing the usual "sign a player then don't play him for 47 years while he settles into his new surroundings". This team excites me
I get all that and us losing the title lost me winnings of about £1800 on a divisional accumulator so I was pretty gutted title glory aside. I just think the continued sniping I see on the Web backfires on us as on balance it makes our fans look a bit tw@tish that we still hark back to that time and get all worked up and sad that they got more media coverage. Anyway 15 minutes til kickoff: GET INTO 'EM, TO F*** 'EM UP
Not sure we should be dropping Okaka, as I feel he played very well last week and his physique could cause Bournemouth problems. Also think Gray's pace could be better utilised from the bench.
Disagree - chances are we going to be looking to counter Bournemouth at speed since we're away from home, so Gray's pace will allow him to sprint into the space created by us playing deeper.
Why is the Shoutbox not enabled?! I need to moan about Amrabat already being caught needlessly offside after only 1 minute...
We are playing absolutely brilliant. Silva is reinstating my love for this team with his style of play after watching 18 months of dross. Gray miss at the end of the first half was criminal though!!!
Richarlison has been absolutely quality! Gray missed a sitter but it's his debut as a starter so i'm not going to boo... yet. Amrabat always, and I mean always decides to take the player on when he has the ball. Instead, he could be playing on Femenia who could overlap him on the right wing and/or make a cross... Every bloody time he tries to gain ground by taking on the defender, and it's completely unnecessary... Especially when it has no positive effect every single time.
We should be absolutely miles ahead... Come on lads stick them away! Sent from my G8141 using Tapatalk
That's a high water mark for us, we struggled against Bournemouth in our promotion season and we've only ever managed to draw against them since. Today we've gone away from home and absolutely dominated them. Exciting stuff and exciting times ahead.
What a win. Gray, Chalobah, Richarlison and Doucoure were absolutely superb. Struggling to think of anything I've seen on a football pitch as disgusting and against the spirit of the game than that shout from Arter to put Chalobah off. ******* disgusting, scummy antics typical of him and the club he plays for. That should earn him a retrospective ban.
