Bournemouth Home - 8th April

Soumare is far too lazy to be in a relegation battle, he doesn’t give a shit. Can’t stand the bloke

We currently represent the opposite of what is commonly known as the new manager bounce.

 

As I have said previously, although Rodgers had to go, to do so at this current moment in time was abysmal decision making considering the lack of movement since.

It was the thousands of so called fans demanding his immediate removal

Rodgers may as well have not left looking at the state of our team selections.  

The only logical explanation I can think of for this shit show is that someone high up in the club

has had a large bet on us being relegated.

Tielemans could have a leg sawn off and he'd still offer more than that midfield.

With our injury record so far ... don't tempt fate

I would class my self as quite a positive fan, I try to give people the benefit of the doubt rather than slate them,

 

But Fu*k me if that's really the team, then I'm jumping off the liberty building. These pair are supposed to be football men, what on earth are they thinking? What have they seen from Vardy, Soumare, ndidi, Amartey this season that the rest of us haven't? 

 

Biggest game of the season by some distance and that's the team? No wonder the clubs in such dire straights if these are the kind of "top class footballing minds" on the pay roll, Fu*k me! 

[ClaphamFox]

If that’s the team, we may draw the following conclusions:

 

*SaS understand this is a must-win, hence 4231 with Maddison in the middle rather than 433 with two specialist CDMs
*Mendy has been dropped because SaS just want one CDM and prefer Ndidi to Mendy 
*Souttar must be injured and Evans isn’t ready to start
*SaS really don’t rate Tete
*Vardy has been picked because of his aggression and leadership qualities rather than his goal scoring threat. SaS think we need fighters on the pitch & that neither Iheanacho nor Daka provide that

 

Not saying I agree with all the above, but could this be the thinking?

[FoxOnWheels]

Only thing is I can possibly see in selecting Vardy is that if he breaks his duck and gets a goal he might then push on to score the goals we need to stay up. Either that or they’re just thick as shit

You sound so intelligent, are you part of Rudkin's staff?

I feel everyone’s entitled to a opinion but you’re essentially playing 7 at the back. At home… to b’mouth. 

 

If you are going to play 5 atb you don’t need 1 dm .. never mind 2.

Yeah?

[fazzyfox]

Not that many teams have had reason to fear or respect us but Bournemouth will be coming here smelling blood, seeing it as a clear opportunity to put their own season on track, the likes of Solanke and Billing will look like prime Salah and De Bruyne picking up sloppy balls from Wilf, Mendy and the CB’s all afternoon. We need Madders and Barnes to be outstanding and be the difference to paper over so many cracks in our crumbling wall.

And it’s bogey Bournemouth who we rarely got anything from when we’re decent.
Really need the steady head and organisation of Evans and the composure and quality of Youri right now…..any news on them.  

[foxfanazer]

Last chance saloon. Don't get something going today and it's curtains. Jessie Marsch's blue and white army in the Champo

Weird

[SK3Blue]

4 hours work ahead of me, will take my mind off things at least. 

Cannot believe this news about Marsch, seriously, this club is being run into the ground. 

1-1 today, we just don't have the fight to win. 

[Lionator]

It would be insane not to play Kelechi.

Don’t worry about any melt down that won’t be the team 👍🏻

Wouldn't mind that, but would have Ndidi where Mendy is, and Mendy where Soumare is. 

 

I don't even think a change of manager miraculously changes how Soumare plays.

 

That's the way I'd go when Youri is back though. 

 

Need to spread the pitch to allow wingers to flourish, but give enough protection in midfield for the defence. 

Well, it looks like we're going to see the glorious sight of Soumaré having a light jog as Bournemouth midfielders run past him merrily.

We are slow at the back, so having Castange in a back three may help us. Our striking options are poor so I'd like to see Barnes up front and Maddison in the middle. 

 

We can push the full backs high for the added width, but this formation seems to work best imo, especially with our lack of midfield options in this game. Mendy and N'didi will have to play this game as I don't think we can trust Soumare and I'd rather have that added protection there given the stupid number of soft goals we've conceded! 

 

 

[Guest Col city fan]

I think this is it, personally.

Lose today and our frail confidence will be completely shot.

Win and we’ll go into the rest of the season with half a chance.

Huge game for the future of the club today imo.

3-0 Leicester
