Match Day Thread Bournemouth v Newcastle

It will either be deemed by fans as a tactical masterpiece, or a stupid failure.
I guess at least he's trying something different. Let's see.

 

Now that wasn't prolonged niceness was it, good sir?

 

We can see who the real wolf in sheep"s clothing is.

 

I told you Jim, I said it would all change around 1pm. I was right.

@jimileysbaldhead

 

No Barnes, that bastard Howe needs sacked immediately.

 

I hope it works, but it's like he's taken on a jigsaw puzzle after 15 pints at this point.

 

Hmmm. Happy that Hall is in, but not a clue what else is going on. I guess 541 which hasn’t worked for us so far. 532 would be more logical as 541 offers too little going forward but I can’t see who’d play up with Nick.

I also don’t like the fact we’re going with two in midfield. Or maybe howes seen amorims huge success and we’re going with 343. Who knows.

 

Reports that Big Nick and Big Dan Burn both playing up front.

Murphy and Hall to put in lots of crosses.

 

This is true.. We have to wait and see.

 

Crikey Obi, you really are a gifted visionary. How did you know that folk would go straight to their default mechanism...

 

It was just a hunch.





BTW, why do they call me Quasimodo?

 

There's no way out apart from willock and Murphy ...I think this is a pre determined game plan to hang in there and he'll chuck Elanga Joelinton and Guimareas on at some point... Unfortunately it'll be for Tonali willock and Murphy, so essentially no matter what occurs we'll be not much further forward If anything at all.

I've said this before, but you should just get games won and make changes If needed.. I don't like Howes approach with pre planned changes.

We need to wait and see because there's always a chance it could work.

 

Burn, Big Nick, Botman, Thiaw.
No Tripps.
Maybe today is the day for a goal from a corner?

 

Be interesting to see how Miley does as doesn’t start many games and be wanting away if he doesn’t start to get opportunities

back 3. 2 holding mids
Lewis and Tino bombing forward
False 9 in messi
What could go wrong

 

Thiaw at the back looks an upgrade. The bench looks very good.

 

This makes the Elanga sub on Thursday even more strange btw. Seriously you chase a player around for years, persuade them to come here and then even when he plays well you take him off early and drop him for the following game.

 

On a separate note our fixture being a Thursday is another ****house scenario.

 

I wasn’t expecting this team and I have no idea what the formation is.

I like it.

 

Ha ha I nearly pissed myself when I read this.
