AFC Bournemouth v Norwich City

[stanthevan]

The bench looks good

The bench looks better than the team!

I'm in! Getting some gardening advice at the moment so win-win!

For two years?

 

[NWCherries98]

Yes you can

He definitely did a lot of running vs City, and we didn’t have much possession. Might be that then.

 

[Monmouthred]

How do I watch?

Through fingers, with hands over your face, generally works for me!

 

[YankCherry]

We should win easy.

which means what 3-1 loss? Lol.

Well that won't work for me! ;-)

Happy with that, only having two centre midfielders wasn’t working all that well. Shows JT isn’t just going to blindly stick with one thing.

Yes but who is the left wing back? Rico or Smith

 

[YankCherry]

Lerma and billing on. I believe we are winless when both play. Which makes sense playing 4 out of five as defensive mids.

That means you have Solent sound, a good start.

Yeah, I'd have played Gozzo and not Billing.

Being positive, it isn't the formation Norwich would have been expecting.

 

[Waz afcb]

We desperately need a new winger or 2. Will we even get 20 games out of Brooks and Stan combined?

 

[London Cherry]

Brooks is a loss but so is Cantwell for them

 

[Topfarrier]

Happy enough ....Danjuma playing as a 10 is exiting......definitely our best back 3 imo....like Rico there.... time for Lewis and billing to do something.....

 

[USCherry]

Drop Stacey and put Smith on the right (or keep him and drop Smith). Rico on the left, and Simpson in the back three. Doesn't that make more sense than playing 2 players out of position?

 

[Topfarrier]

Have to laugh though.....i was listening to that muppet Jamie O'Hara discussing us the other day and he said that for him we've always been a team that plays 352 and that suited us !!.......where we went wrong apparently was switching to 442 last season....lol.....we've played every system known to to man in the PL but 352 FFS.....interesting that JT fancies it....seems tbe back 3 is here to stay anyway .regardless.

You are of course completely correct.

With the exception of the wins against Southampton, Manchester United, Chelsea, Brighton and Aston Villa (twice) when they both started.

 

[slothski73]

Brooks is sold ....need to change my bedding its wet again

Yes. Or Ofoborh in instead of Simpson but yep. Can’t disagree. Stacey for me would be one of the first names on the teamsheet in this formation.
