Pre-match views from the forum:

Perth Gooner: “I don’t think this will be as easy as it looks on paper. But you would expect our players should be able to grind out a win like at Everton. Hopefully we don’t pick up any injuries in this game ahead of Man City a week later.”

Tir Na Nog: “Bournemouth from the little I’ve seen of them so far are a side trying to play a style and brand of football they simply don’t have the quality for, I think they’ll play right into our hands. Only problem would come if we start doing our slow boring stuff and sort of just expect the chances to fall on a plate for us. Which could easily happen. We need to impose ourselves and I think it’ll be a tough day for Bournemouth.”

TheEliteMaster100_: “Our chance creation this season has been horrific this season, we need to start creating more and I mean big chances/clear-cut chances. Our style of play is not sustainable.

Also, when was the last time we truly tested the opposition keeper with good shots on target and high-volume shots? Nketiah/Jesus/Saka/Ødegaard have been wasteful this season in hitting the target with good/clean strikes.

We’re missing our two best ball strikers in Martinelli/Trossard too.”
