He might play a 433 with Lookman and gueye starting and Barkley and Kev missing out.

I say keep the five. It's time Funes scored a token goal by advancing upfield and hitting a screamer, or a header from a corner.

I wouldnt, he has had 1 under par 45 mins i dont think that warrants being dropped.

Bournemouth are at risk of being dragged into the relegation scrap.

I think we'll shade this, but not expecting an easy game. In fact, this is exactly the type of game we usually mess up in.

If you were to pick an opponent on current form it would be bournmouth. There should be no excuses for not winning this.
But..... we have been here so many times before

That's hardly 433 then. 1 striker 1 winger/Striker. 3 def midfielders and 1 box to box.

Not the line up I would want to see at home v Bournemouth

BlueToff · February 3, 2017

Same side that started vs Stoke, but Lookman in for Kev.

Joel

Holgate
Williams
Funes Mori

Coleman
Davies
Sniderman
Barkley
Baines

Rom
Mola

Stek, Jags, Kev, Macca, Gana, Baz, Enner.

Chewbacca · February 3, 2017

Win this and we're safe I reckon

based on current form I'd think so mate

I'm thinking the second half change at Stoke may have partially tested the plan for Saturday. Swap McCarthy for Gueye and start Lookman for Mirallas.

At least they tend to play a bit open. I'm more concerned about the following 3 home games when we're going to have to break down teams.

As you say though, Bouremouth are slipping towards the drop zone so Howe may decide to go more cautious. I am expecting a hard game either way.
