Seems every match is tough these days for United. If Bournemouth were playing other teams in form we'd say it was an easy game.

I was reading 10 years ago Bournemouth were relegated to league 2 and we played CL final. Now they are ahead of us in the points and it's seen as a tough game for us.
Really incredible.
I totally agree with this post. Making up quotes not said by Jose himself is baffling to say the least. I am bewildered as to what type of supporter actually wants UTD to lose a game in the so called certainty that Jose will get sacked. Absolutely preposterous thought processing by some.
Surely every true supporter will want the team to win all games despite their feelings towards the manager.I'm far from confident. Small stadium, passionate fans and a team that likes to play on the front foot.
Feels like one of those games we concede early and there is no return.
If we go in behind at HT, Jose will say something during the HT team talk and we'll come out in the 2nd half, all gunz blazing and beat them.
I have no fear being behind at HT. In fact, I prefer it!So hard to predict our team
Like Brighton and West Ham, it's not every time we respond. I'd prefer that we start on top of them.I'm praying for another good performance, Martial to continue his form, somebody to finally look a threat up front and on the right wing and obviously the 3 points.
Not sure how much of that will come to fruition but the 3 points is important here.Absolute must-win. Here's what I would go for especially if Bournemouth go with a 3 CB set up.
---------------DDG------------------
Young---Smalling--Lindelof---Shaw
-------------Herrera-----------------
-----Fred---------------Pogba-------
---------------Mata------------------
-------Alexis----------Martial--------
But Jose will likely do a 4-3-3 with Matic at the base of midfield and Mata on the wing
You can see how jovial he is about it. You wouldn't have gotten that impression reading the reaction to it from the mentalists in the presser thread though.Drove past a pub (by Bournemouth train station) about an hour ago and saw a load of Man United fans on the beers already. You lot are a disgrace.
I struggle to drink a fizzy drink before 12.
I should've gone in and announced who I am in the hope that there was a caf member in there who might know me.Is Lukaku starting?
Certainly hope not, would send the wrong signals to the rest of the squadOur record in these early games is bad, isn't it? I can't remember when we last time won this early game
So the question should really be, why doesn’t he say something before the match starts and go all guns blazing in the first half?
If he ditched the cowardly approach to most games and had us going for the jugular rather than sitting back then he wouldn’t get anywhere near the criticism he does.Of course and if he starts and mess it up I will be furious with Jose
I will be very surprised if he isn't. Mourinho said he was "resting" Lukaku in the last match. He won't be able to say that again if he isn't in the starting 11...
They are saying Lukaku wasn't on the coach.
11:06KEY EVENT
Lukaku absent
Romelu Lukaku has not been spotted getting off the team bus at the Vitality Stadium.
Does anyone else get superstitious about our games?
I always have a bad feeling when we are the only ones on TV.They are saying Lukaku wasn't on the coach.
11:06KEY EVENT
Lukaku absent
Romelu Lukaku has not been spotted getting off the team bus at the Vitality Stadium.
Interesting. Would be a bit of a surprise if he's dropped completely (unless there's an injury we're not aware of), given that we don't have great options off the bench. Form wise it's not like he deserves to be included at the moment
Very likely he's out of this game.They are saying Lukaku wasn't on the coach.
11:06KEY EVENT
Lukaku absent
Romelu Lukaku has not been spotted getting off the team bus at the Vitality Stadium.
Anyway, hope he respond well to this and put serious work to improve his form. We need him at his best when the goals dry up.
And even if we win they stay ahead of us on goal difference
Unless we smash them of course.Maybe Lukaku picked up something in last training. Didn't think he would start anyway.Guess we'll be wearing pink today.
Have we ever used the 3rd dark blue plastic kit?Harry Redknapp and Scholes guest pundits on Bt sportPlease let it be Sanchez down the middle.Lukaku must be injured. I don't believe for one second he would be dropped completely out of the squad.Apparently Josh King is out for Bournemouth which is a boost for you I think, Him, Fraser, Wilson and Brooks as a front four would've been big test for your back 4. Guess Bournemouth willl stick an extra midfield in rather than Defoe.
Can actually see you pinching this 1-2, last minute winner.I hate the infusion of politics in the beautiful game. #Triggered
Francis is also a major doubt
That will be one the footballing mysteries which will remain a mystery till the end of time.
Or perhaps in a few years we shall read in someone's book, what actually went on.
I agree though, it is absolutely bizarre to only play hard for 45 minutes. Jekyll and Hyde performances.How long will Dalot be out for? What happened to him?Just notice D. Brooks is on the opposite team love to get that kid in FIFA 18, left foot, good height and have flair.Am I the only one who never watches pre-match build up? Maybe it’s because nobody ever has anything nice to say about us, but I always tune in about 2 minutes before kick-off.- Status
