Premiership 2015/2016

Looks like Lukaku had a good game last night. Probably playing better than any of Chelsea's strikers at present.

Lukaku will never be a top 4 striker, he comes and goes too much, especially in big matches.

He's only 22. Way to soon to be writing him of as a top 4 striker.

Maybe so, he might prove me wrong, but I dont see it.

Wilson injury confirmed as ruptured cruciate so out for 6 months which is effectively the rest of the season. Going to be tough to avoid relegation from here but this is the time for Eddie Howe to prove himself as a top manager.

Who can he play upfront, Joshua King?

He's an option but hasn't performed the times he's played this season. Glenn Murray Lee Tomlin and Yann Kermorgant are all support strikers without pace. We have Atsu who is more of a winger and hasn't done much with us yet or with other clubs he's been on loan with. Rantie is a speedster and yet to make his mark since he arrived a couple of years ago. I wouldnt mind him getting a chance appears to be a confidence player who just needs a break. Matt Ritchie might fancy himself up front as well!

Well they paid a fair whack for Murray, so surely its him they have to go with? Its a shame, but I think this Wilson injury might be fatal for Bournemouth's chances. As you say, Tomlin is more of a creative man behind the striker, as is Yann Kermorgant.

Id probably go with Richie upfront myself, decent player.

Murray came on for Wilson on Saturday so I'm pretty sure Howe will centre things up front around him from now on. Need to inject pace in there somehow so I'm not sure how he'll factor that in. Probably go with Josh King as Howe does like him.

As you say it will very difficult for us to survive now. I'd almost say that Howe would be worthy of manager of the season if we somehow avoid the drop!
