Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Bournemouth vs Man City

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.

    Lads

    How nailed on is Jacko at Hull? Fancy him for the next few weeks but bit worried as David Marshall is a good keeper.

    Thanks

      Jaku is super nailed imo, so much better than Marshall

    Commentators apologising for swear words the fans singing is getting annoying

      They are obliged to apologize or else they'll get fined.

    Caballero makes Bravo look even more woeful every time he plays. Superb save again.

    Bravo's utter crapness been accepted now my Pep even if he won't admit it

      Worse signing ever we would have been better off sicking a scarecrow into the sticks

        Could throw Stones and Nolito onto the dud list too.. Sane is a cracker.. back into the market for a keeper in the summer surely?

        1. Syd.
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Stones will be good

          Nollito is no more than an average fringe player

          1. KingNidge
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            I dunno about Stones i just question Peps ability to organise a defence in general and to help him cut out the silliness

            Decent fringe player for sure just expensive i'm sure Pep had higher hopes

      One thing's for sure... When it comes to goalkeepers, Pep is truly Hartley 😉
