Everton: P21 W9 D3 L9 https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/andrew- ... n/1/plus/0
Bournemouth: P14 W7 D4 L3 https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/andrew- ... n/1/plus/0

Key game and would be great to back yesterday’s win with three points here. Far from straightforward though, they are a decent side. That Rayan seems a threat too.

Home form to be turned around. Another 3 points.

Feels like a big one this, at least in terms of wanting to be in with a shout of European qualification. We've said that lots of times this season and then it's not really mattered as everyone keeps dropping points, but I reckon we're getting to the tipping point now.

Home form has been really bad and this is a good chance to get it right. We should be winning it all things being equal, but our home form against this sort of team is basically rotten so who knows. Gutted not to be able to make this one.

Bit of a bogey team these aren’t they? Plus not a great record for us with Madley as ref

Positives are at least Rayan scored his first goal at the weekend
We beat them at their place 1st time ever in the PL

Need to win this one

These are dangerous so much pace Keane especially might be a problem if we try and play high up Jake too up against speed on the wings hopefully we can get the win but I’m not confident

Win this we go above Liverpool, we'll look strong for a European space, and we will be all made up. Therefore, we will get beat.

Wonder if this will be the type of 1-1 where we take the lead and then let it slip or the type of 1-1 where we have a terrible first half then grab a late equaliser and push on unsuccessfully for the win?

Or this is the one we properly turn up for 90+ minutes, where everything clicks and we give BMD its biggest victory so far

I'm hoping this talk of "managing Branthwaite's minutes" means that we played Keane for the away match as we'd likely need a lower block, with a view to playing Jarrad in this one, so we can hopefully be a bit more progressive.

Yeah we need Branthwaite in for this one, it'll help us play a higher line and also his ball carrying from defence will give us the ability to play through the lines better.

If he's fit he has to play.

If we start with Job at rb, Keane at cb, and Armstrong on the wing I’d be surprised if we win.

At home….bournemouth….mmmm
I always want a win…..factoring in those two things….i think I’d take draw right now…

Surely not, please no, I’d hope Brainthwaite in for Keane, although I expect he’ll play JOB over Patto.
For me…..
Pickford
Patto
Tarks
Brainthwaite
Myko

Garner
Gana
KDH
George
Barry.
In a 433 formation or 4123

Is there a south coast rivalry between Bournemouth and Southampton?

Could this be one where we see a fired up Dibling?
