    The worrying thing is no matter what we churn out, Howe has no intention of trying to change it.

    He's already happy with the pre planned performance.

    That will take basically forever, however!!!!!

    Bruce finished 12th and Howe is currently 11th so we're approaching the Bruce did as well as Howe debates as a prequel if that suits.

    Emery is a mid table plodder.

    We'll get done here... But I've predicted we win 1-0, which probably enforces the fact we'll get pumped.

    Predict a thumping from Liverpool. 3-0 would be a let off for us. Eddie Howe already got his after match thoughts down, same as last week, the week before etc. Even Bromley must be relishing coming to us.

    Looking forward to this one. Timed my flight perfectly so I can watch this on my 2.5hr layover in Doha tomorrow.

    Chance to get back to winning ways.

    Tbh I think I prefer this type of game.. games in which you know we'll get beat and see that as an opportunity.

    Nothing interesting in the presser; suggestion that Isak hasn't trained, but I think that might be smoke and mirrors.

    My team (0% chance of happening): Odysseas / Tino, Schar, Burn, Hall / Bruno, Tonali / Gordon, Isak*, Barnes / Joelinton (*Willock if not fit)

    Predicted team: Pope / Tino, Schar, Burn, Hall / Tonali, Bruno, Joelinton / Gordon, Isak*, Willock. (*Wilson if not fit)

    Would love to see Tonali and Bruno in a double pivot but can't see it tbh. Free swing of the bat for the team here and I would have said make some changes but Eddie has literally finished his presser this morning with "There will be no change in approach but sometimes these things just happen and go in phases.".

    FML - we had ZERO shot's on target last week but aren't changing approach?

    Personally I think Joelinton should play there. I'm not sure when people will realise that Joelinton has absolutely no business being played wide. It's where Bruce used him eventually and he was ****.

    Joelinton is a ball winner, he's big strong, can get out of tight areas and can pass a bit too.

    Get Guimaraes up the pitch he loses the ball a lot back there.

    The issue with Bruno higher up is his severe lack of pace
