Poch doesn't send promising players out on loan to Southend and Stevenage. The only thing Amos has over Skipp is being 4 years older and more physically ready for PL football, he doesn't have a long term future
at the club though.
Poch has admitted to changing his stance on loans a bit. Amos also came back from his loan with the Stevenage manager raving about him, which led to a successful pre-season with us and getting his PL debut against Newcastle away.

I still think Poch prefers to keep them at home as long as possible, but eventually the youth has to go on loan to see how they do playing week in and week out. Except for KWP, he lives on the bench.
 
Well that settles that about Kane. No “on-field rehabilitation” as of yet so definitely won’t make this weekend or Ajax.

I think he only had one full training session before playing at Burnley so I wouldn't write him off just yet. I imagine he'll start ball work on Monday and depending on how that goes there's still a chance. Reading back on his previous injury he declared himself fit and ready to play a week or so before Poch agreed so we might get a situation where Poch lets him come back earlier than he otherwise would. I don't think he particularly wanted to play Sissoko on Tuesday but his hand was forced. With ankles, when you're good to go, you're good to go. It's total myth he came back too early last time, he got injured again because Delph trod on his ankle, simple as that.
 
Janssen has to start. He can't play in the Champions League. We need bodies on the pitch to absorb minutes. If its not working bring someone on at 55/60 and let them get into the flow, don't wait until the 80th.

IMO Janssen has as much chance, if not more so, as Llorente, of scoring. Stick him in!

What makes you imagine he will start ball work on Monday if he hasn’t started “on-field rehabilitation” yet?

Can’t see it personally

Aurier on the other hand in “final stages” surely in with a shout for Wednesday.

On field rehabilitation would be ball work I would have thought. Muscle injuries are a bit different, much higher risk of re-injury so they tend to be more cautious about returning too soon, they do lots of strengthening work first.

He returned to training 34 days after his previous injury and Monday will 28 days since this injury. And you generally return quicker the second time around. I'd say he's on course to play Vs Everton. But... But... It's a CL semi final, they don't come around too often. Kane will be in Poch's ear saying he wants to play and still might well do.
 
Hold on, didn’t the players jog around like twats against West Ham saving themselves for Ajax?
Then jogged around like twats against Ajax anyway.

The key here for Bournemouth and indeed Ajax away is not who plays, it’s where they play and what formation we use.

We’re not fatigued, we have a manager who is strangling our creativity with weak tactics.
Dele and Eriksen in the AM slots behind Son and we will see a difference.

Dele and Eriksen playing on the halfway line and it will be shit again. Quite simple.
