I do worry about the Bournemouth game based on what I saw defensively against Maccabi I know Cash and Digne will come back in but the way we were exposed on the transition by let's face it a bang average side was poor if that happens against Bournemouth we will be punished. We need to move the ball much quicker if we want to hurt Bournemouth's back line.
It will be interesting to see the starting XI. Does Tielemans come straight back in? personally I hope so. Does Guessand start? not sure I know he isn't great going forward but he does offer Cash additional protection and as Bournemouth are a threat out wide that's an option. Does Watkins start not sure. However in Unai we trust.

Lotm, 1 thing I will say is we seem to always play at a similar level to our opponents, we play better against stronger teams then when we play weaker teams our levels drop to their standard, Bournemouth will come at us which in turn will create space for us going forward, our record at home is excellent in terms of results, I predict a tight game but confident we can get the 3 points.
Cash is a million miles better at RB than Lindelof was on Thursday and he’s fresh having not played midweek. also there are a few teams ahead of us playing each other this weekend so we could find ourselves in a great position come Sunday night

LOTM, many on here and some of the more knowledgeable pundits have said we are far too slow bringing the ball forward and I agree I think Bournemouth will export this, hopefully Emery can modify his tactics to speed things up, he has done this in the past when we played our best football.
