Strong team and bench. We really should be too much for them, as long as we don't start the game slow and go behind v early ala Forest.

 

[iseered]

I'd rather have Jota and Nunez on the bench at this point. Might feel differently in a month. Or, you know, in 3 hours.

 

[dee]

Kliuvert is a worry. He's a real talent

 

[Modo]

I think they're just being careful with him. I think it's more about allowing him to recover.
We plays Spurs and Plymouth in the next 8 days. I'm sure he'll get more time on the pitch.

Lol, bring on the "why didn't he have Chiesa on the bench" posts.

 

[Squiggles]

I can't really fault him. Chiesa was dead on his feet and took a kicking all game.

We have 5 fit and rested forwards. They just need to turn up and be clinical. Diaz really stood out in the reverse fixture.

 

[DHSC]

Bournemouth will press very aggressively. Hope Slot has something up his sleeves to counter it. Maybe more direct balls to the front 3 to chase?

 

[rubans]

Probably against the most form front 3 in the league, will be a proper tough game.

 

[ibromurph]

They're great yadda yadda yadda.

Imagine being in their camp though, knowing you're coming up against Gravvy, Macca, Szobo.

Your wingers having to track back deep to cover TAA and Robbo.

Your full back (and makeshift FB) having to worry about Gakpo and Salah making incisive runs and darting in at the back post.

Your young CBs having to decide whether to drop in and pick up Diaz, or let him roam.

And then, let's remember the options from the bench.

Sure it's tough for us, but it should be more tough for them.

[SummerOnions]

I know Nuñez and Jota are probably not fit but seeing Diaz up front again is annoying... When did he last play good up top - Vs Spurs?

 

[Mamma Mia]

1-4

Dom to score along with each of the front three.

 

[binomial]

3 points and no injuries please.

The only 2 things that matter.

 

[Modo]

In case you didn't notice, we have a fully fit squad for (I think) the first time this season and it's fucking February.
Remarkable.

Joe Gomez enters the chat

 

[Fabio]

Crucial we don't concede first

 

[Modo]

He's in training. Could probably have played if we really needed him.

[i_rushie]

What a start by Trent

 

[Shadey]

COME ON LIVERPOOL FC

 

[DHSC]

The glare from Virgil.

 

[Bradley]

Inside 44 seconds and it feels like i'm watching a highlight package.

 

[Modo]

Fucking hell Trent

 

[Fabio]

Shame that fell like that tbh

 

[Shay_K]

Almost

 

[Fabio]

Fucking hell Trent

Hope it's not one of those games

 

[DHSC]

Macca in the wars so far.

 

[Fabio]

Not been very good so far. Bournemouth very up for it
