[Albion] Premier League 3-5/12 [Merged]

[Blackadder]

Interesting stats about Bournemouth there. 7 wins this year

I thought CP might do this, if there’s one team that don’t need to change shape down to 10 men, it’s them.

Every match is set out with a dogged, mass defence of 8 players. Leaving Ayew, Townsend and Zaha to pick teams off of the counter. Always pace to burn at FB.

We hate them, but that’s worked for 7 PL season, a classic counter attacking game, with pace in several positions.

Yes, and we need to prepare ourselves for a less successful pair of games against them this season as a result. Last season they were just about the only team who Hughton's default style worked against. They had to have a go and got turned over twice. This season we'll need to create and take chances early on or I fear they'll hit us on the break and there'll be a mini meltdown on here.

How has Solanke stolen a living as a footballer for so long? He's absolutely awful.

Now just wait for him to get a late goal...

 

[blue-shifted]

Bournemouth have been beyond shit this entire game.

But will be back playing like the 1970 Brazil team when they visit the Amex later this month

 

[Weststander]

I think our approach to away games this season will play into their hands with the way they play. Hopefully GP will be wise to it...

I’m concerned. We pushed almost everyone forward against counter attacking teams - Leicester second half, ManU and ManC, who then ripped us apart. CP love that naive approach.

CH screwed CP with our own mass defence.

U have to admit Palace deserve that. Hope bmth play this bad against us

Bournemouth never play poorly against us, in fact they raise their game.
This game has been dog shit, Palace down to 10 and other injuries and they still win.
Very poor Bournemouth performance tonight, probably the worse I have seen them since they got promotion.

£20m. The Bmuff fan who used to post on NSC, thought he was shite.

Leicester have a lot of pace and their counter attack did for us. We will have to be careful not to gift posession to them while we are pushed up the pitch.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Just seen Palace's goal. The defending and goalkeeping is CRIMINAL. You have to ask yourself why Bournemouth are bothering.

 

[Is it PotG?]

 

[Uh_huh_him]

God Bournemouth are shit

 

[Blackadder]

Prepare for incoming from the usual suspects.

I'm not sure you can moan too much about both kick-off times.

If you are saying 7:30 is too early, and 8:15 is too late, it doesn't leave much in between does it?

Just makes getting there 15 mins more of a rush from work for many people, and 8.15 makes it trickier for away fans especially.

Or maybe I'm just moaning for the sake of it , I spose it's not that much of an issue really

I don't think they ARE bothering.

 

[Saunders]

classy goal by Jesus again

 

[Ernest]

City 2-0

I'd love it if plucky collapsed and this year Smug Eddie didn't turn it around and they got relegated

 

[BN41Albion]

Prepare for incoming from the usual suspects.

To be fair, Bournemouth are in terrible form and have a few tough games coming up, so it's quite a good result for us I reckon

20m? Christ on a bike. If we even paid 1/100th for that i'd be shocked.

 

[Steve in Japan]

How shit are Bmuff this season? Very very poor.

Will Potter adapt for this (he stuck to pushing almost everyone forward at ManU and when 0-0 against Leicester once we got over stage fright)? An intelligent coach, shirley there’s a happy medium against counter-attacking teams, where you keep sufficient numbers back in a solid shape? In advance, we know this, so it’s avoidable.
