Can’t wait for people to try and defend the campaign conspiracy after the one in the first half wasn’t a red for Brighton lmao

Still, James has no business doing that. Game would have been over 10 minutes ago had he not.

Agreed, he kicked out. But lampteys was a worse one and got waved off. Also where the frick did 10 minutes come from

No argument here. I think the 10 was for Mudryk's injury and the VAR of James' kick. Still seemed long.

Really hoping Gusto wasn’t reinjured. Need him for the final game in a bad way Mudryk likely out concussed I’d guess put Nnkukuor Sterling over there.

As noted earlier, getting into European football would be an amazing accomplishment in year one of Poch, especially when considering the youth, and the magnitude of injuries.

Sterling will go to the left.

No James, and no Gusto are bigger concerns.

It will be interesting to see how Poch plays this out.

Cole P. may go wide, but who knows.

I just hope Poch doesn’t park the bus. It is Bournemouth at home. A win/draw gets you into Europe. He should get them over the line. If not, his seat will become quite warm.

I’d think, at this point and with the momentum we have, parking the bus isn’t in consideration. We have a confidence and swagger we haven’t had all season. The boys should be locked in and determined to grab all 3.

Poch should continue the momentum and just let them play. This team has come so far despite the injuries, Poch should trust them.

yesterday we saw a squad that is absolutely loaded with young talent.

I haven't seen anything about a Gusto injury. I thought he was just subbed out for James at the end for some fresh legs. Did I miss something?

Why did it take Poch so long to invert Marc? Because we were so thin in the back?

Yes, he should.

But he has been known to park the bus as a tactical decision.

We will see.

good question, because cucurella was a playmaker at BHA

some smoke about Chillwell or Cucurella going to ManU

Chilly is homegrown.

I would be shocked at this move.

Cucurella is the more likely departure imho. Him playing well actually makes his more plausible imho.

Chillwell came from Leicester, he is not a Chelsea Academy player

Cucurella is younger and more valuable

Chilly, as much as I love him, is damaged goods now and a one-trick pony. Marc is more dynamic and has more value to this team.

I’m stating that he is a Brit, and that since he played on an English team for three years, he is considered “homegrown.”

As such, he ticks off a box (8/25 roster spots have to be “homegrown”). He allows them to meet that requirement. Cucurella does not.

quote:

Do Premier League teams have to have English players? Eight of the 25 players in a Premier League teams squad have to be homegrown which means they have to have played on an English team for at least three years before turning 21.
