I like the positivity. I'm not going to agree with you because I'm irrationally superstitious, but I like the positivity.

Hard to predict what Lambo will go with. He seems partial to the 4-3-3 for now, so I don't think he will switch to a new formation yet. The defence has two clean sheets on the bounce, so no changes there. We need a change in midfield, with only Allen looking like he deserves a place in the three, and no way of knowing if ndiaye is ready. So, it's difficult to predict who will line up where. Basically, I can see a scenario where any of adam, allen, cameron, fletcher, and ndiaye could be in any of the three midfield spots. As for the front three, Shaq is nailed on to start, and ECM to a lesser degree. Diouf hasn't looked convincing but I'm doubtful that crouch or berahino will give us the energy Lambo wants.
I'm predicting we will see one change, Ndiaye in for fletcher with adam dropping deeper. If ndiaye is not ready, cameron for fletcher.

I predict an attempt at bus parking. If we can get a draw I'll be happy. Can't see us keeping eleven men on the field with this bunch of cynical, horrible diving time wasting shithouses. Is that cunt Harry Arter fit?

Park the bus. Waste time. Kill the game. Grind out a result.

At this stage of re start to come away with a point however obtained will do. Anything extra brilliant.

Confident we'll saturate them in our box and nick a goal on the break, but as is the case from here on in - that first goal is everything.
Equally, I can also see them bobbling a 2 yard shitter across the line in a saturated box of madness.
Fingers crossed 0-1 snatch and grab😁

Reading many of the comments above, I had to quickly recheck the schedule. We’re playing Bournemouth not bloody Liverpool. How the hell can anyone be hoping we “Park the bus”. I am pretty sure in his “appointment news conference “, I heard PL saying that he intends to try and WIN every game. And here we are hoping to grind out a draw by parking the bus?!?!
We move up the table by beating teams around and just above us, then parking the bus against the Chelsea’s and ManUre’s of the world not by hoping to eke out a point against bloody Bournemouth! If we go there with the intent to grind out a draw, I will be absolutely disgusted. If we go there trying for the win but end up scraping a draw, I will be disappointed but satisfied that we tried; and of course I’ll be gutted if we lose.
C’mon Stoke stick it to them!

Had high hopes about this one until they give Chelsea a hiding.
Now, not so much.

Generally when a shit team (Bournmouth) beat a top team on their own patch, they tend to wobble at home in the next fixture (a common occurence). I think this is probs over confidence or complacency. If we are up for it, and get in their faces, we could come away with all three points.

Either they will be very motivated after 3-0 win over Chelsea or they will be over-confident less concentrated after this win. I predict the 2nd option Goaaaaaarn Stoke City

Not a game to park the bus we have to be positive & go all out for a win. I can see Berahino starting today in place of Mama he has to be given the chance to prove himself. I would also play Shaq just behind him to feed the ball through the channels.
