You forgot the mention the serious relegation fears, amigo.Biggest game of the season tomorrow, super mega humongous massive willy wonga do the conga Akabusi Acca-boosty HUUUUUGE game.
IF we make the top 4 tomorrow, we can relax and focus on Ajax and the season is automatically a MASSIVE success and we get £100m to buy new players, we have the new stadium, everyone is chilly willy.
Lose tomorrow and we face a cold slap in the face from Ajax and Everton, dumped out of the CL this year AND next year, finger in the eye, finger in the ear, cold hard cauliflower in the face as Gooners sail into the CL.
Meanwhile our transfer budget is £23 and a signed photo of Gary Doherty.
Super Mega acca wacca massive. I need TP for my bunghole.
I hope you wrote that in jest because if not, if stinks of either the highest degree of arrogance or an unprecedented level of naivety.
I would be apprehensive of playing that formation against a League 2 side, let alone an established mid-Premiership team where we desperately need the 3 points to guarantee our CL place for next year - which, if we miss it, would be completely catastrophic for the club
It's Bournemouth. They lost their last home game to Fulham. They are literally on the beach.
I might be crazy, but I would play as close to the team we will play against Ajax as possible.
Give them some practice / confidence (maybe early subs if we are winning)
The next 5 days are when it’s time to turn up and be counted. COYS!
Lloris
Trippier, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Davies
Sissoko, Dier
Lucas, Dele, Eriksen
Son
Gazzaniga, Foyth, Walker-Peters, Rose, Wanyama, Skipp, Llorente
Strong selection from Poch, I think that will be the team that starts against Ajax, unless Vertonghen is cleared to play for that one.
Let's go out and win this game, bouncing into the 2nd leg knowing we've got Champions League football next season. COYS!
