...Bournemouth tend to score goals but concede more. They play out from defence but aren’t very good at it, hence teams who press from the front force them into mistakes and win the ball in dangerous positions. Trouble is, we tend not to press from the front. If we invite them on, it’s going to be another case of the Alamo. We have been riding our luck but I can see them scoring a couple tomorrow.

Agree.Hope we can be more offensive,which is hard for this team especially away from home.The return of Rooney and Bolasie maybe Oumar should make us more offensive.We will still need to defend really well.2-1 to the Blues.
 

Nothing but a win is good enough in this especially with Man U and Spurs the next 2 prem games after this. Bournemouth will probably (hopefully) struggle to score against our pretty solid defence and can sometimes leave themselves quite open at the back and so with us having more options available such as Rooney and Bolasie etc, then we should win it comfortably as long as we are not giving the ball away every time we pass it which is actually quite a big ask considering that is what we have done this entire season. Even our throw ins go to the opposition or become 50/50s.

Chance to go 8th depending on how Leicester get on so COYB's !!!

Another game we must or should win, 1 point is not good enough, Watford could easily climb above us.

Why is this a must win?

I dont think you people realise how hard it is to go to an away ground in this league and get all 3 points, we just almost went a year without an away win but suddenly we demand away wins willy and indeed nilly.

Oh thats right, they are in the bottom 3, a place we sat not that long ago.
 
They can't defend but look dangerous going forward. We are mostly blunt as an attacking force but fairly solid defensively, currently.

That being said I think there will be a fair few goals scored in this one. I think we'll win, 3-2.

Lets end 2017 on a positive note.
