I agree with your team.

I think keep the core of the 20-70 minute side from Sunderland. But Muani in his proper position and Xavi in for Richy. Spence for Porro as rotation.

Tactically I'd encourage Odobert to stay narrow and try and combine with Xavi, a bit like how Eriksen and Alli used to in those two positions.

Would be surprised if it wasn’t the same approach as the Brentford game. Can see Xavi coming on and not starting

I'm always a bit cautious about mid week away games at little stadiums. Frank should tell players to forget about cup on Saturday and commit themselves to this game.
Agree with resting Porro, Richarlson, Bergvall and would have considered Davies as well, don't know if he's up to playing 2 games in 4 days after so long out of team.

Hello Darkness, my old friend

it still is dark, and cold - I'm praying for another away day masterclass

 

[Robbo]

Wonder if Semenyo will be playing, given he's City bound. Knowing our luck, he'll say goobye to Bournemouth with a hat trick.

Exactly what I was thinking - a farewell performance in front of his home fans....

Probably will be Spence and Poro after Spence had a breather last match.

I actually think Xavi plays better when he has Paulinha with him. Helps Xavi feel settled and if he loses the ball Paulinha is there to clean up. So wouldn’t mind:

Poro - Romero - VDV - Spence.
Paunlinha Bergvall
Tel Xavi Odobert
Richarlison

Bentancur and Mauni to come on and make the difference. Need Mauni to step up now.

 

[markysimmo]

Surely Porro needs a break, he seems to have played every minute recently
Maybe Gray as RB and Spence as LB, that is if Davies can't manage another game in quick succession

 

[MartyFunkhouser]

Jingle Bells Jingle Bells Jingle all the way, we owe them a spanking, playing the cherries away

 

[braineclipse]

They're on an even worse run than us. Semenyo seems set to be leaving. On the other hand their high press absolutely suffocated us in our previous match and if they're able to do something similar tonight our weaknesses in playing out from the back will make this a real difficult game.

Hopefully them being off form and the packed fixture list means they can't play like that, we can get a bit of space and actually progress the ball.

Or playing at 80% so as not to get injured and potentially spoil the move?

A wn. 1-2. Looking forward to it, even if I haven't managed to snag a ticket. TV - and a beer in front of the fire - it is.
