Iraola is a coach to keep an eye on, he's got Bournemouth playing some good stuff. They press really well and this will be a tougher test than Chelsea IMO.
Maybe the best thing about our game against Chelsea was how well our GK and defenders played through the high press, pretty consistently throughout the entire match.Iraola is a coach to keep an eye on, he's got Bournemouth playing some good stuff.

Yeah you’re right, I was thinking about it afterwards and I was just trying to fit Kobbie into the team. I’d probably go with the same 11 as the other day again.why would he drop Antony after his best performance in a long time to play Bruno on the right who has been playing his best football at 10? he just said that players need to earn their starts
I'd keep him out of the starting eleven here and, if someone needs a rest, start him against Bayern. Realistically, we're out of the CL anyway, given we need to win and hope the other match ends in a draw to progress.I hate to burst everyone's bubble, but I'm pretty convinced Rashford comes back in and starts for this. After this game we have Bayern and then Liverpool, and Garnacho has been playing non-stop and still observable tires late in games. It's far less risky playing Rashford in this one and hoping he responds than potentially having no choice but to play him in one of those upcoming games. Get prepared for it gents.
Hardly anyone seems to think this is a good idea. I'm probably missing something?Mainoo McTominay
"Illness" eh?!I see Rashford is out tomorrow after missing training through illness, that could work in our favour
This season?Hojlund is getting at least two in this.
Sprained his vagina.I see Rashford is out tomorrow after missing training through illness, that could work in our favour

Nice part of the world down there.Bournemouth are well coached but I watched them live this season and if we press cohesively we can force errors.
I’m confident we will create plenty of chance but if we don’t take them they certainly have the ability to cause problems. Especially given how easy we have been to play through on the turnover.
Sounds like the area around a nipple, hope we don’t play like a bunch of tits.Iraola sounded like a familiar name, found out he was captain of that Bilbao side that schooled us in our first Europa league outing .
That's the West Ham keeperSounds like the area around a nipple, hope we don’t play like a bunch of tits.
They were playing up north sadly but the weather was greatNice part of the world down there.
Garnacho is literally not even 20, he should be capable to play 10+ full games in a row. Like Salah etc. doing it for years nonstopI hate to burst everyone's bubble, but I'm pretty convinced Rashford comes back in and starts for this.

His age is the issue. Players in their early-to-late 20's are the ones who are generally able to play pretty much every game. Younger players are still physically (and mentally) developing so it's a bad idea to overplay them, and older players generally don't recover as fast between games so will find it harder.Garnacho is literally not even 20, he should be capable to play 10+ full games in a row.

your missing the fact Amrabat was bloody awesome midweek.Hardly anyone seems to think this is a good idea. I'm probably missing something?
This team will give us all an heart attackA good performance and a win against Chelsea midweek. Everyone is in high spirits and the Caf has voted overwhelmingly to win this. It looks like we have finally Turned a Corner™.
What could possibly go wrong?
