[AGENT_CLARET]

[clansman]

100 per cent

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

We need

Muric
Cork
Brownhill
Benson
Zaroury

Back in the team

Everyone apart from Kompany can see this, go figure

[Carlos the Great]

When you spend over 100 million on a new team /: it’s difficult to explain to the chairman why your back playing the old team

[123EasyasBFC]

Trafford (no point saying muric it’s not happening

Vitinho
O’Shea
Delcroix
Taylor
(Beyer and Ekdal still injured and al-dakhil needs taking out)

Cullen
Cork
Berge

Larsen
Foster
Zaroury

[Billyblah]

It's a "must win" game.

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

I’m serious when I say this , Vinny get your boots on , the defence are a shambles.

[agreenwood]

Benson is injured isn’t he?

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

Trafford (no point saying muric it’s not happening

Vitinho
O’Shea
Delcroix
Taylor
(Beyer and Ekdal still injured and al-dakhil needs taking out)

Cullen
Cork
Berge

Larsen
Foster
Zaroury

Christ that defence would struggle in League 1.

[123EasyasBFC]

Christ that defence would struggle in League 1.

It’s the only defence we have mate. Roberts suspended, Vitinho, al-dakhil, O’Shea, delcroix and Taylor are our only fit defenders

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

It’s the only defence we have mate. Roberts suspended, Vitinho, al-dakhil, O’Shea, delcroix and Taylor are our only fit defenders

Let’s hope that has changed by next weekend!!

[Florian]

Kompany walks into this team with these injuries

[123EasyasBFC]

Let’s hope that has changed by next weekend!!

From what I was told after Chelsea game, Beyer was 6 weeks but Ekdal was close, who knows what close means

[Claretmutt]

Couldn’t agree more.

[ksrclaret]

Let’s hope Ekdal is back next Saturday then with Beyer then a few weeks behind that.

The thought of going with two from O’Shea, Al Dakhil and Delcroix is frightening. Truly shambolic trio.

[Spijed]

Make no mistake, this is a must not lose. Arguable a season defining game.

[bigdavethemaddog]

lose this and Kompany is under pressure NO doubt about it

[cockneyclaret]

lose this and Kompany is under pressure NO doubt about it

Have to agree..
Pace and Co have seem to give him who he wanted and it's obviously not working by a huge scale.
End of the day it's a results game and in this league it's all about money and staying in it

[steve1264b]

Trafford (no point saying muric it’s not happening

Vitinho
O’Shea
Delcroix
Taylor
(Beyer and Ekdal still injured and al-dakhil needs taking out)

Cullen
Cork
Berge

Delcroix? I dont know what the question is but i know it isnt which centre half do you think will make the defence better?

Larsen
Foster
Zaroury

[123EasyasBFC]

I think Bournemouth is more than just ‘must not lose’ it’s must win

[BurnleyFC]

Bournemouth will be ditching their manager soon, so we need to beat them whilst they’re as bad as us.

[Elizabeth]

Clearly play like we did today and we get beat.

[SalisburyClaret]

Cork - it’s essential he plays
We need experience and leadership

[Carlos the Great]

If we we lose to Bournemouth who can we beat in this league …then I would like a full refund on all our new players and get our money back

[Vegas Claret]

they couldn't live with Zaroury in the Cup game, he has to start. Is he not turning up for training or something ??? mental he isn't getting time on the pitch

[Nori1958]

Who can we beat in this league?

Luton.... Obviously
Forest.... Nearly

Did you miss those?

[Murger]

With all the new signings put straight in, I think VK has ****** off a fair section of the squad.

[Nori1958]

I’m serious when I say this , Vinny get your boots on , the defence are a shambles.

Not registered

No room in squad

Are you really serious?

[Newcastleclaret93]

Trafford (no point saying muric it’s not happening

Vitinho
O’Shea
Delcroix
Taylor
(Beyer and Ekdal still injured and al-dakhil needs taking out)

Cullen
Cork
Berge

Larsen
Foster
Zaroury

The entire team is so poor.

[123EasyasBFC]

The entire team is so poor.

What team would you suggest? We have no other options for the back 4. We already know your opinion on Trafford vs muric and know that muric isn’t going to play a league game unless Trafford gets injured

What midfield would you have that wouldn’t be dominated?

What wingers would you have to help foster?

[taio]

Honestly I don’t have one.

I don’t see a single team we can put out that beats Bournemouth with the injuries and suspensions.

Your team is probably the best one possible. With Kompanys tactics we will like concede at least 3 with that eleven though

Ahh apologies I thought you were saying there happened to be a better option for starting 11.

We have more than enough to beat Bournemouth if we turn up but that back 5 at the moment has zero confidence in each other

[123EasyasBFC]

It isn't a must win.

Well obviously mathematically it’s not a must win but to the average person it feels like the next two games are both must wins. Beat the team below you in the table and the get your first home win at the 6th time of asking

[taio]

Would you be very disappointed and think it was catastrophic if we took say four points from those two games?

[Holtyclaret]

He was injured at league two Salford so not really mental.

[123EasyasBFC]

Would you be very disappointed and think it was catastrophic if we took say four points from those two games?

Id be very disappointed yes because it would mean we have either not beaten a side below us or still not won a home game in 6 games, to me they are both must wins, especially when the 2 games after palace are arsenal and West Ham

[Big Vinny K]

Let’s hope Ekdal is back next Saturday then with Beyer then a few weeks behind that.

That’s definitely got a Branch / Gnohere feel about it !!

Solanke definitely got the potential to destroy that defence but not really sure what else we can do. I’d say play Taylor as centre back but with Roberts missing then we only have Vitinho who can play either of the full back roles.

The imbalance of our team is astonishing. And knowing this why would we not keep Owen Dodgson involved as cover ?

We have gone from a team where Taylor was 5th choice centre back to him now being our best defending option in 2 positions !!

The frightening thing is that we could have bought THB and Tella for the same cost as O Shea and a couple of those wide players we don’t need.

[taio]

I think the average fan would be content with four points. I reckon Kompany be pretty pleased with it too.

If we had Arsenal and West Ham next two and lost both of them, then had Bournemouth, would you then say Bournemouth is a must win?

[joey13]

Recently we always have done well at Bournemouth, I’ve seen 4 wins and 1 draw in the last 5 , that will continue if we play better than yesterday obviously.

[taio]

If we had Arsenal and West Ham next two and lost both of them, then had Bournemouth, would you then say Bournemouth is a must win?

Doubt it. But not sure there's much value in rearranging the fixtures in my head and confirming the results before they actually take place. I'd snap a hand off for four points from the next two.

That’s fine, snapping your hands off at 4 points is fine, imo I think they are both must wins

[Carlos the Great]

Who can we beat in this league?

Luton.... Obviously
Forest.... Nearly

Did you miss those?

Nearly beating a team isn’t good enough plus we can’t play Luton every week

[Nori1958]

I never suggested it was
The poster I replied to was asking which teams in this league could we actually beat

[Casper2]

You named 2 , this team will struggle against Sheff U , that leaves Bournemouth, is that another team we can beat ?

[Nori1958]

I don't know, because we haven't played them..... I'll say it again.... The poster was asking which teams we could beat, I pointed out the one we actually had beaten, which he'd clearly forgotten about

[Carlos the Great]

I think we were hanging on against Luton and admittedly could have had a win at Forest
.: anyone that’s playing us will consider it now points dropped if don’t win .::

[randomclaret2]

Has Lowton got fixed up yet ?

[Vegas Claret]

He was injured at league two Salford so not really mental.

I thought that was Benson ?
