Way more important game than the Bayern one. We need to go on a winning run in the league

 
Should look to get back to controlling the game.

Welcome back RLC

Willy Cab

James 

Zouma 

Tomori

Maatsen

Jorginho

Kovacic 

CHO

RLC

Alonso

Giroud

 
Bournemouth have troubled us in recent times. They beat us earlier this season at home, and battered us 4-0 last season in this corresponding fixture.

We need to dish out some of our own medicine towards them.

 
Our team does seem to be very mentally weak. I do wonder how badly tonight's game will affect us.

We’ve got our usual fall from Grace after a good result out the way to an actual decent team?

Apart from the odd fuming here and there and the usual calls to sell Alonso/Azpi/Barkley/Christensen, most posts were very realistic, I felt.

Onwards and uowards against Bournemouth!

So we stick with the back three, idk? If so Willian in for Barkley and maybe Tammy for Giroud. 

Do you reckon RLC could start? 

 
I wouldn't go with 343 again, it is a slow formation and our fast wingers are out. Must win simply as no more slip ups in the league against relegation battlers.

I would start as we did yesterday, Bournemouth are nowhere near the level of Bayern.

If RLC is fit bring him on after half-time yet he wasn't even on the bench yesterday.................

I don't think Bournemouth will be able to keep Giroud as subdued as yesterday and against Bournemouth that should give us more traction up front.

Willian will most likely come on in the second yet apart from a teasing cross per game is not threatening to set the world on fire just at the moment.

Abraham in the second if we are not getting any success.

 
I think it's time lamps freshened the team up. We should recall kepa zouma and tomori at the back .

                       Kepa

Dave  zouma. Tomori. Alonso

              Jorginho. Kovacic

Willian.       Mount.       CHO

                  ABRAHAM

 
For some weird reason, we have had some horrible results against this lot in recent years. We really can't afford for that to happen again in this one.

No we certainly can't.

One of my mates is a lifelong Bournemouth supporter and he's been well pleased with their results v us in recent years.

 
Not sure Tammy can play, pulled up with an injury in the cool down after Bayern.

 
Noticed against Spurs Barkley's shot off the cross bar set up Giroud and yesterday after Mount had a break cleared it was Barkley following up with a shot Neuer saved.

Yesterday he put a shift in closing down Bayern not as good as Mount yet just the same as good as Willian. 

Think if we play the same set up he might very well score.
