Bournemouth have their flip flops on. They have lost their last 3 games. We lose this then we deserve to go down

That's the thing though, they're due a win. My nerves have completely gone.

If we don't get the 3 points we simply don't belong in this league.

Wouldn't it be such a dream if we showed up and just beat them 2-0 with minimum bother?

Another Brighton please. Would be fitting too as it is definitely that performance and result that put our fate in our own hands. Take them 3 points away and were sitting second from bottom having to win and relying on the others to lose.

Make Sunday a blinder please blues. Everyone deserves an enjoyable final game after the stress of the last 2 seasons.

….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.

Dyche, if anything, is cautious

He'll go with what he thinks the best gameplan is regardless of the situation

Spot on this.
 
All hands to the pump on this one.

Get the injured jabbed and get em on the pitch.
No time for pussies or passengers!

I don't think anybody is underestimating them (or indeed overestimating us) but if a team could pick a game to have with everything on the line it would be Bournemouth at home with nothing to play for.
 
I am praying for a win on Sun but either way at least this horrible season will be over. Everton I love you and I hate you for what you put me through.
