….seems plenty are underestimating Bournemouth because they’re Bournemouth. Their last 3 away games;
Palace 2 Bournemouth 0
Southampton 0 Bournemouth 1
Spurs 2 Bournemouth 3
They carry genuine threat, especially on the counter-attack. We are particularly open to counter-attack. We can’t play to their strength by ‘going for it’. We have to keep the door closed at the back & that’s difficult for a team with 3 CBs.
They do try and play from the back, though, so that will give us a chance with Doucoure. I can’t see them not scoring. I’d much prefer us to set-up defensively strong as I think we can Nick a goal or two.
