est1874 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 (edited) Pressure was on Arsenal last week. It's on us for Sunday. Hopefully we can withstand and come away with the right result, as we are more than good enough. UTV Edited April 19 by est1874 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David-Copenhagen Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 There is a thing about winning, it gives you momentum and believe. I think the positive outcomes Sunday and yesterday can lift the team. Yes it was 120 min yesterday, but we are good at keeping the tempo down in large parts of the game. IMO none of our players looked like they were on the brink, in fact I think we looked like the team with energy and momentum in ET. Play smart Sunday and nick a 2-0 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Perhaps this is one for Bailey to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidlewis Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 (edited) With Spurs not playing until we have another 2 games completed Bournemouth is THE chance to really pressure spurs. we play chelsea after which will be very tough and spurs have three very difficult games ahead of them. being 6 points ahead albeit two games more means spurs have to beat 2 out of the top 3…. Good luck to them if they can do that. Edited April 19 by kidlewis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 This will be hard as ****. Team is knackered, hardly any rotation possible. Injuries everywhere. Bournemouth rested and on form. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa87 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 (edited) Tough one this. Think it might be something like: Emi Konsa Carlos Lenglet Digne Bailey McGinn Tielemans Rogers Diaby Watkins Hopefully Zaniolo is fit to get minutes. Cash, Duran and Tim to also come on for minutes.

omariqy Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 We could do with Sinisterra and Semenyo being out. Along with Solanke, they are their biggest threat. Kluivert is hot and cold. Lewis Cook and Christie make everything tick. Their defence can be got at. Will be tough no doubt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bournemouth rested and on form. Bournemouth have injuries aswell luckily. I think we'll see Diego Carlos back in. Maybe Konsa to RB to give Cashy a breather as it was 120 minutes after a hamstring so have to be careful. Digne could do with a breather so annoying that Moreno is out again for a few weeks. Going to be tough for Tielemans aswell so I'd like to see Tim come in for this to give him less ground to cover as Bournemouth do press a fair bit. Zaniolo out aswell so really if we stick with 4-2-3-1 we won't really have anyone bar Duran to come on and change things with 20 minutes left. Feels like a bit of a 1-1 to me. I agree with the above we're really going to need the Holte End on good form to drag us through if we're 1-0 up with 15 minutes left. I'll be in the Holte for this game so will play my part.

omariqy Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 We need McGinn to play in the middle. Their midfield press well and we need his 'robustness' to counter it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pongo Waring Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Bournemouth always have impressed me in a limited times I have seen them this season. One of our toughest away games. Solanke is one of the best strikers in the league. Our players must be tired so fatigue will set in but on the other end, that penalty shootout win lifts the confidence and the players must be on cloud 9 right now. So its hard to call. Win would be a massive step towards securing 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess Carlos will come back in but wary that he struggled in the away game. Cash surely can't start again though. Think we need our best team out there, try and get a fast start and then make changes 2nd half if need be. Emi Konsa, Carlos, Torres, Digne Tielemans, McGinn Bailey Rogers Diaby, Watkins Cash, Tim, Zaniolo and Duran to come on 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Our game after Bournemouth is 6 days gap, so if players are raring to go I say we go as full strength as we can to get the 3 points, then perhaps give them an extended rest day off next week.

duke313 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 (edited) Hopefully we get a better ref than the last one that we had v Bournemouth, who kept letting their players away with yellows while booking ours, Semenyo should have been sent off in the last game, but was allowed to stay on and score.

duke313 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Unless Emery makes a lot of changes, I can see this being like the Brentford game, and can see a draw as we'll be very tired. If we can get a draw here, with the players better rested we can beat Chelsea. 4 points from these two games would not be the worst return.

ferguson1 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Sounds like no further injuries from last night, which includes Zaniolo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
