AFC Bournemouth v Newcastle United - Live On Sky 5.30 pm

While I agree that bringing on Brookes for Kluivert may be a positive thing to do either at the half or around the 60th minute, it's not like Kluivert has been bad. He's had a lot of hustle in the press and helped link up play, on top of one cracking shot (have noticed today that players seem to be a bit braver about taking an early shot around the edge of the box, sign of good things to come?). Team as a whole has looked pretty good aside from one defensive scramble, more important than any substitution will be to keep up that intensity going into the second half and find a goal.

Kluivert is a having a typical Kluivert game.....Stuart Pearce summed him up perfectly when he said that he was a player who gets you off your seat and then sits you back down again.
