Yeah they started the season like a house on fire (ditto Palace) and Semenyo was having a worldie at the start (which wasn’t sustainable) but eventually you’d have expected it to settle and they’ll do well to end 8-10 after the summer they’ve had and all the players they’ve lost. I think palace will also drop as the season progresses - especially as they’re competing in Europe as well and their squad isn’t exactly large and stacked with quality.
Bournemouth 2025-26

Likely to lose Semenyo in the next window too.
I think people forget that they're still Bournemouth. Similar with Glasner at Palace. They're both doing really well given the resources and size of club.Yeah they started the season like a house on fire (ditto Palace) and Semenyo was having a worldie at the start (which wasn’t sustainable) but eventually you’d have expected it to settle and they’ll do well to end 8-10 after the summer they’ve had and all the players they’ve lost.

Yep, spot on. I think Bournemouth have one of the lowest wage bills in the league as well if I’m not mistaken? Definitely been punching above their weight, especially when you factor in the players they’ve lost (similar to palace).I think people forget that they're still Bournemouth.

Evanilson is bound to be one of the worst finishing forwards in the league. Just messes up so many chances for them and they only have a 19 year old in reserve.
Don’t think the defence is an issue as the players they have brought in are very competent. Diakite had a very good game tonight and Truffert looks better than Kerkez.
When teams sit back, they don’t have the players to break them down and they don’t have the players to take the chances when they do come.

Don't they have Eres Unal?
I know he had a bad injury last season and has only just returned but I seem to recall him scoring the other week.

I am not sure he is up to it. He came on yesterday and he was pretty bad. I think Kroupi is ahead of him in the pecking order.
Kluivert has been poor this season too and Semenyo constantly seems far away from goal.
They look well set up, but lacking both creativity and good forwards.
