Watched their last game going toe to toe with Woolwich.
Def cant afford Vic or “Cuti” to play any iffy balls around at back.
They play on the front foot and attack in Nos
and are good on the eye to watch.
Def can be got at on the counter by looks though.

Tavernier very good on corners and free kicks so no silly give aways .
They will miss Kluivert who needs knee surgery.
Semenyo although this his last game will be up for it big time .
Think defo Djed for Ben on left as type of challenge Djed will relish against Semenyo.
COYS…

Semenyo usually plays left and will certainly enjoy being up against Porro. That’s if he puts it in.

Jeff Goldblum What GIF by The Late Late Show with James Corden
 
Franks system is shit - our wide players not very impressive, kudus being the stand out as frustrating as he can be. So maybe with his injury Frank should look at a different formation. Richy and muani worked okay in tandem vs psg. Frank is /was supposed to be tactically adaptable.
Bournemouths full backs will dominate our wide players like last time and overload porro& Spence. So the cunt needs to change things.
 
We played a good first half against Sunderland. I expect, or at least hope, the same high pressing style.

2 draws and a win in the last three games. If Frank is going make it here, then this is the game that turnes his fortunes.

We never play well at places like Bournemouth,Palace,Fulham,Forest. We sometimes scrape a result but never play well. I’m expecting a low scoring game with us being below average at best. Cold night under the lights at Bournemouth is not a place where I expect our team to perform to a decent level.
 
Bournemouth are Franks Kryptonite, IMO

They will be more aggressive than us. Look how we capitulated when Sunderland raised their intensity?

Thats nothing on how Bournemouth normally play

They will get in our faces, not let us play on the ball, and we wont have any answers

We dont show any confidence on the ball as it is, under pressure? We'll just pump it long, Bournemouth will pick it up and itll come straight back at us

Game has 90 minutes attack vs defence written all over it

I suspect Frank will set up for that too, possible 3/5 at the back considering Kudus injury

Yet, we know how that usually turns out for Spurs, we dont do persistent defending like that

And once Bournemouth get one - we wont have an answer

Que Boo! from the crowd and even higher pressure on the Villa game
 
Ali Golds prediction
(4-2-3-1) Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Spence; Palhinha, Bergvall; Tel, Xavi, Odobert; Kolo Muani.


I think more likely 352/532

--------------------vicario
--------romero---danso----vdv
porro-------------------------------spence/davies
-------------palinha----bentancur
---------------------xavi
-------------muani----richarlison
 
Bournemouth away last season felt like the beginning of the end for Ange ... That's where he properly lost the away fans (followed not long after by "ear-cup gate" at Chelsea)

Same again tonight with Frank?
Though you could argue he already lost the away fans at Brentford!
