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.

    7. Moss
      • 8 Years

      Replays from different angles and curve of the ball etc

    8. DeadStarComing
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Because if you watch it you can see what direction the ball is going

      • 14 Years

      It did look like it would go wide

    10. Ziro
      • 9 Years

      It's the reverse cam. Clear as day

      They use their eyes and their brains

        and the McAuley goal?

        1. Ha.
          • 8 Years

          😆

        2. Now I'm Panicking
          • 9 Years

          I didn't say they used them correctly 😉

      Actually this time we had the correct camera angle and Aguero's touch was going wide.

  11. Ravager
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Well hindsight but thought Nyom (1st sub) getting a CS was a closer bet than Allen doing anything. Missing out on the points now from Stan's second no show.

  12. Werkself
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Mings OG - Aguero denied

  13. Ziro
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Ibra- -> Kun -> Kane confirmed.

  14. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Odd decision re the OG. Can they tell it was going away from goal? Interesting.

    1. Vinyl78LP
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      If they find the right camera angle, then very easily..

    2. Ephurion
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Of course they can. Feet position (part of foot that touch the ball) of Mings and Agüero. Not really hard at all. Pause the match and get your ruler out, mate 😉

    Brunt and Sterling owner who finally ditched Stones this week.

  19. Jimmers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Kun gets the assist at least. Tough on Sterling owners

    1. Dimen
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Kun was on 2 BAPS as well... Sterling on 3. Now Aguero on 0 and Sterling on 1.

    2. Boydinho
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Though on Kun -> Jesus-transferers anyway
