Some of these stats are harrowing. The writing is on the wall.

We won’t win this weekend. We are the least attacking team in the prem and we are allergic to playing in the first half of games except the palace game of course. So don’t exspect anything in the 1st half maybe 1 shot. Then we rally for 20 mins in 2nd maybe lose narrow or scrape a draw

You heard it here first. I guess I just can see the crap cooper dishes

To be fair yes, you are the first person to point out Cooper is crap so i hope you stand by this very outlandish POV you have 

[Elsie Effcee]

I like Ndidi,  he seems to find good positions for himself,  but why do I always wish someone else was where he is,  someone who wouldn't waste opportunities,  it's always a 'fingers crossed' moment when he gets the ball

[FosseSpark]

good cross with his 'wrong foot' for Justin. He is hit and miss and certainly isn't what i'd describe as a number 10 or 8, but he is keeping some exalted company after six games of the season. 

 

[Filbert Fireworks]

I'm actually feeling positive about this contrary to all rational logic. 

 

First win inbound. 

 

Think Bilal stayed on too long against Everton hopefully buonanotte starts again. 

 

2-1 victory. 

 

 

 

[Wortho]

Hopefully I’m wrong but I think Bournemouth will have too much for us.

 

Let’s hope we can get our first win 🤞

This is it and when he says he believes in this team you know it’s a worthless fib 

He may well believe in the team but the in reality  I suspect the team do not believe in him.

[brookfox]

Feels like blasphemy to even say it after last season but think I'd go with a midfield of Ndidi and Skipp with Buonanotte in front of them. Just not sure Winks has hit his previous standards now he's not in the role ideally suited to his skillset.

If they hold them up in front of their eyes for 90 minutes they might have a better day out.

[TeamRocket]

If we lose I really hope this is last game and bring anyone in that will get us winning and playing well again.

He needs to start With Fatawu and Mavs imo 

[Fox85]

With Cooper in charge we lose this 1- 3

 

If he was sacked tonight 

 

We would win 2-0

I’m hoping for a Top performance in this one with a brace too. Rudkin and Cooper. 

[Paninistickers]

I fancy us.. Mainly a Bournemouth have had a relatively lucky start. Second best at Everton but winning and dispatching a woeful Southampton. 

 

Lower mid table teams aren't capable of stringing consistent results together

[Unabomber]

I’m usually exceptionally positive however we are gonna get ****ing battered tomorrow 

[winteriscoming]

Took Bournemouth 10 games to get their first win last season. They finished 12th. 
No reason why we can’t do the same. 
Obviously with someone else in charge. 

[Legend_in_blue]

We couldn't beat Bournemouth when we were half decent.  Cooper is hopeless.  I may start calling him names after tomorrow, my patience is wearing thin.

That's pretty much everyone's opinion.

 

1.  It gives us a proper attacking threat on each wing.

2.   It provides more Balance to the Team.

3. It provides an out Ball to relieve pressure.

4. It stretches the opposition at the back providing more room for Vardy and others to get into.

5. Provides better defensive cover especially for JJ on the right from Fats.

6.  It gives us two players who can retain possession helping us get up the pitch and getting a breather at the the back.

Why will Bournemouth ****ing batter us when nobody else has done so and we’ve played several better teams than them?

I just think team moral is poor, we are very badly managed from a tactical point of view and now the early season positivity has faded. They will come at us very well prepared and ultimately have a plan that will beat us. We may go a goal down early and try and get at them which will leave us exposed and we will likely concede more. It’s a shame. The fact that’s it’s Bournemouth at home will trigger Cooper to be more gung-ho once behind which won’t help I don’t think and will play in to their hands. 
 

What do you think will happen?
