Well here we go, Andoni returning to Bournemouth.
The difference in performances between Fulham and Spurs gives him food for thought.
Does Nyoni start?
On form, its now MacAllister, Nyoni with Wirtz or Szoboszlai ahead of them.
I think the front three is Barcola and Gakpo, switching sides and Isak at 9.
Araujo at RB. Jacquet, VVD and Kerkez.
McConnell and Koumas deserve mention from last night, but I doubt either start this. Rio will probably get more minutes than either, but their value was evident last night.
This will be tough, but building on last night we win. Isak with a brace
Pretty sure that Munoz will start on the right here, possibly why he wasn’t used the other night. Could be handy with Bournemouth’s way of defending and also make Truffert think twice how he will play.
Gakpo or Barcola off the left. A combination of fitness and form could be the deciding factor. Outside chance we see both from the start. Let’s see if Wirtz and Isak are still in.
And I don’t think McConnell showed anything against Spurs to get a mention or to be in consideration, he shouldn’t make the bench here. Koumas is different, but most probably won’t start.
With some bodies back (like Gomez) and some other players doing well (Nyoni), I think even Endo might drop out of the 18 here.
Vitality Stadium is apparently undergoing a significant upgrade to nearly double its capacity to 20K+. I’m sure all of there Europa League funding will help.
It’s alright, we watched the same match, but I certainly didn’t see McConnell play quite well. Wasn’t even visible that much. Some stats back it up, too.
