OPTIMISTIC PREVIEW: Eddie Howe on EVERTON | Bournemouth v Liverpool Predicted LineUp | AFCB Presser

so on Saturday Liverpool are visiting the most healthy Stadium in what will be a very interesting fiction with Bournemouth in the form they're in Jeff what are you expecting from the match his Liverpool I am feeling quite positive about this game here are the reasons right well Liverpool have been one goal winners in the last I dunno handy fixtures they've been particularly scrapey away from home I mean they'd be palace with a scrambled goal where you know it was it was late towards the end and they really didn't deserve that victory they were lucky against Sheffield United away they actually should have lost a Manchester United away because they were poor in that game and yeah this in about the way they beat Brian again you know they edged over the line it was to VanDyke headers not brilliantly defended by Brighton but they were poor against Napoli last week anyone who saw that game well I thought you know that that's sort of grinding out victories it and and there's a lot of people who would say oh yeah well winning when you're playing badly so it's a real art form it's the mark of Champions I disagree I think they're they're just edging games they're being very lucky with bar and with refereeing decisions as well that luck has got to run out equally if you look at the way we've played the last three games we've been unfortunate we could have got three draws and we've got three defeats we've had momentum shifts in the game where you know if we take the chance we're in a different place than we actually end up and that's sort of bad luck is unsustainable as well so I think we need to go into this game where we've got nothing to lose but let's get at them give it a go and who knows I like a change and their look could change and they've also got a whole indus december this is one of the games where they are going to take their eye off the ball and think we just gonna turn up and roll up they'll roll over because they're a bit flaky at the moment and I think if we go in with an attitude take it to them I don't think they can offend see it too much and we've got a chance you know because there can be looking at all those they've they've got a tough European game coming up against salt spoke they've got to get a result in that game they've got that World Club game they've got carrabelle Cup fixtures they've got League fixtures and all bit they've got a bit of a cushion I feel I don't know why but I feel we're gonna get a result this time yeah you not the person if first person jury said that there were others that was chancy yesterday he who do say the same thing as well I think that margin that they've got over they've pulled the moment I do think that co-op has managed to change their mentality this season and they will go over the line and I think it will be their first Premier League title but 11 points or whatever it is I know that the lesser are closer but you know this could be a little bit of relaxation you know rotation for them choice for yeah for them to take them off the ball would like you saying we could do it what I think the chances are way of Harry Wilson being with us past the end of the season because the more the seasons going on the more I'm liking him because he's getting more involved in every performance I mean this point in time I would I would happily trade off for I'm Fraser Fir someone like Harry Wilson I really would yeah well he's scoring goals and he's is he's also got a clever pass on him he's quite Brookes like but he's not quite little Brooks is he but also it gives different things to Brooks see you know with the the free kicks in and that goal scoring threat from outside the box whenever he hits the ball outside what do you think that's that's gonna go in or do something called some chaos switch yeah I love it if he if he joined us but realistically mmm I don't know I can't I can't quite see it because yeah I don't know I can't see it happening club whites enemies that least that good well you never know Jeff you never know keep the faith it could happen not people at home currently seeing pictures of Eddie how this morning he was in the press conference obviously he was visibly distraught in the week after Crystal Palace but at the vitality stadium this morning here's what he had to say so one of the first comments that Eddie had to deal with was Everton speculation but it was very respectful and he said I would like to say first of all I feel very disappointed for Marco secondly I am 100% committed to this club and I am embarrassed by the speculation amid our recent run I'm invigorated and driven to get results here he talked about the feeling low and well our league position of course is relatively low at the moment but Eddie said if you're not hurt then there's a problem myself analyse and self reflect then rebuild and make sure the players in a different frame of mind for the next game on the relegation fights Eddie said every season we've been in the league and stayed away from the relegation zone but we've stayed safe late one or two results negatively could have swung the the other the margins are very fine now obviously we've got a Liverpool tomorrow Chelsea coming up next week Arsenal Boxing Day difficult runs even Burnley and he said the difference is this year the runners coincided with the fixtures we would want to do better we don't want confidence to be damaged but we take confidence from the fact we've been here before so in terms of Liverpool can we do anything Eddie said we have to believe we can win the players have to believe they can get result we can't have any negative feeling or emotion hopefully recent results will galvanize the club and bring everyone together and he's also went on to say I need players to show they care in performances words are hollow when you're not doing what you need to do on the pitch they need to show me their the qualities that I'm looking for on Saturday but he said I embrace the challenge we need to go and rise to it have the team let him down and he said no that's not my emotion responsibility for happens on the pitch of course I analyzed the players and asked for a response that is what I'm focusing on so what if the team needs faireborn within the predicted lineup well yeah quite scary Adam Smith will miss out with his ankle injury been seen in a boot in in the week Steve Kirk will miss out seeing a specialist today based on his wrist obviously not enough pain relief or strapping could have made it possible for him to play against Liverpool and Josh King still will miss out which makes the team lineup very very scary now we do think there needs to be some kind of solidity in defense or in the middle of the park we believe that Ramsdale is going to go in go and map him and a cane will be at the back we would like to see Stacie and Rico on either flank Stacy is better equipped pace wise to be dealing with of a pace of say marnay and Salah wear as well of course Talas on on the opposite side but with Marnie Stacy surely is better to deal with it than Fran oh and now you'll either go with Freneau as a third defender so a third central defender at the back but we're hoping that he puts the extra man in the middle of the park so we think he'll stick with Frazer and Don Zimmer out wide not not many other options and then a midfield three comprising Lerma billing and cook I think Dan Gosling would be unlucky because he's such a disruptive character but I'm not sure how he'd work in that three there needs to be someone deep learner can play that role and then Karen Wilson on his own upfront I don't think Solanki will maintain a place but of course you know he he could go the old 4-4-2 with Friday right back Rico left back Stacie missing out and then putting cook and Lerner in the middle and then Wilson in Solanki out front but no I'm kind of hoping he goes a full one for one so that's what we think in terms of the team selection whether it's going to happen on our I don't know now if you would like to come for a chat after the game win lose or draw we're gonna be outside the 19:10 bar and just on the other side of the fence I'm going to be joined this week by a number of people including mr. Teague's Jeff's gonna be there Tom Jordan you've seen early on there's gonna be a number of people actually coming along for a chat and we'd love your input to the more varied debate and conversation we have the better so straight off to film time head over there and there may be a few people in line but we will get you all on YouTube and on the podcast so Jeff I think I think we better go for predictions mmm I'm gonna go for one nil up on the win I don't know why I'm saying this Jeff Bob we go from one nil bournemouth win and we can actually stop them from scoring I think it's gonna be similar to the Man United's game what are you gonna go for I'm gonna go for a 3-2 with Nathan a case going in the last minute and everybody going absolutely mental again oh well I'll be definitely doing post much interviews if that's the case it's just just before we wrap up Jeff a couple of things that we just been asked on Twitter Eddie how when there are managerial sackings certain clubs always seem to be in his kind of range according to the bookies and Everton and West Ham or two of those clubs West Ham picked up a fine win at Chelsea last weekend so maybe you know poker he's got a little bit more breathing space does that worry you would Eddie Howe go to team I everton know he is only talked about because the one thing that the media know is that you supported Everton as a child that is the only reason there's never anything in it he is not going to go to Everton he'd be bonkers to go to that club at this moment in time that's that's a tough job and I think I think it'll be an overseas manager because that's the way they will and no it won't yet he he's not doing that well I'm glad I'm flattered sir and on hulls and West am no chance no chance we would go to West Ham absolute ridiculous idea Pellegrini it's going to hang in there after the result they got a Chelsea yesterday and I think he deserves full time do you know I heard about West Ham which all delight you I heard people talking about yo Malenko who destroyed us you might recall being a bit of a passenger and when they take him off and bring on a sub they actually are much better team because he's not bothering to track back anymore and the same for who is it on there the other side they're really skillful player company was named but anyway they they they've got some issues with the team but actually what happened yesterday they play a different goalkeeper and suddenly they're back to what they were like you know they were all believing in themselves here and it's weird getting football yeah yeah it really is well I certainly hope that he how's not going to be you know looking that far I think you know he'll I think he likes being a crucial cog at AFC ball with you know it's being close to the action watching his team obviously at West Ham you're on the touchline you need a pair of binoculars to see what's actually going on the pitch anyway so I don't I don't think it would suit him but Jeff once again thank you so much for coming on the podcast and in dissecting that it's it's certainly not been easy at lay as it I want our victory to die say it that would be nice wouldn't it can I have that please yeah fingers crossed we'll get one thanks very much Jeff all right cheers thanks thanks I'm up the cherries
