AFC Bournemouth v Crystal Palace - Tuesday 7.45 pm

We have given the ball away quite a few times when plying out from the back namely cook, Scott and dango. Dango is an athlete but his decision making and football iq is really poor
 
Please can Semenyo come on at the half?
We need someone who can be dangerously direct. We have lots of footwork but not enough directness.
Semenyo makes stuff happen.
 
We’ve played well so far, it’s enjoyable knowing that we can relax and just play.
I hate VAR, although in our favour, that is not clear and obvious.
Billing looking good
 
Football manager has him down to a tee.

Currently values at 75 mill.

Exquisite mental attributes already, and they'll only improve through age/experience

Composure, anticipation, positioning already high... stuff that makes him prime to be cb for elite club eventually.

Coupled with those physicals... hes a beauty

I am all for trying some different (even crazy) things in a match like this. Without the ball Dango left back in a 5. With the ball, Kelly at LB, Dango a winger. That produced quite a bit of traffic down the left side, but I wonder if we'll see something else in the second half. The wind may be a factor.
