I'm torn on this one. I never want us to lose a game, but at the same time would love to see Villa and West Ham go down. I'm going for a scrappy 1-0 to us.
100% agree with this. Play on the front foot and give it a go. Realistically we are already safe so have a go. Rotate around a bit if there is tiredness from the City game. Bournemouth have been terrible for most of the season. Put on some pressure and they should fold
I think it's a no brainer to go at them from the off. They can pass it around a bit if you give them a chance while defensively they're just woeful. Go at them, score early.
I have a feeling Carroll and Gayle will start ... no max or almiron bentaleb and lazaro will start might see atsu he's got to throw the ****e on at some point in this fixture congestion
This is true to be honest. Our problem is our level drops massively once we use our squad. Because we have loads of dross masquerading as PL football players. Once the likes of Atsu, Yedlin etc enter the field of play, you lose confidence against any side in this division. I'm changing and saying 3-1 to Bournemouth.
I just hope we look at our remaining fixtures and say there are points to be gained at Bournemouth, West Ham, Watford and Brighton. We play our best team for those remaining four games and rest them for the games against Man City, Spurs and Liverpool. If we can get six points from the rest of the season then we're more than comfortable. Best chance of those six points is the four games against teams below us so makes sense to prioritise them. If we lose against City, Spurs and Liverpool then so be it

Fair play to Bruce ringing the changes. Hope Big Joe is out wide! Gayle up top is a shock move though, I'd have told him to go home and practise scoring from 6 yards until next season and given Muto the nod although he's mot even on the bench so I assume he's injured.
I could rant about Gayle playing, but what's the point? It's a **** squad. Can only hope this is the last season suffering utter turd like him. I actually won't bother putting the match on tonight, I literally can't bear to watch Gayle.
