Dugout Discussion – Bournemouth vs Man City

3,302 Comments
Share

Gameweek 25 concludes at the Vitality Stadium with Bournemouth paying host to Pep Guardiola’s Mancheseter City.

Once again Pep’s teamsheet steals the pre-match headlines, with Gabriel Jesus preferred as his central striker, leaving Sergio Aguero on the bench for a third successive outing.

Transferred in by more than 210,000 ahead of Gameweek 25, Jesus is skippered by 156,000 tonight up against a Cherries defence that has shipped more Premier League goals than any other side in 2017, conceding three or more in eight of their last twelve matches.

That defence is at last bolstered tonight by an array of returnees, as Charlie Daniels, Simon Francis and Adam Smith all overcome knocks to claim berths.

Elsewhere, manager Eddie Howe prefers Jordan Ibe to Junior Stanislas on the right flank, as Josh King again leads the attack.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      Agreed, and this is coming from a manager who just was confirmed a rise from second to first in my ML because the former first has Jesus(C), so it was great for me...

        I was bricking myself in fear of a potential monster haul from Jesus tonight, so the injury helped my team, like many others.

        But the gloating is unnecessary.

        Oddly enough too, the game is less exciting without him on the pitch.

        Which speaks volumes for a kid whose only started 2 games.

            Didn't see how it happened but they pretty much took Aguerö off the bench immediately, so they knew right away he couldn't play on.
