Match Thread Bournemouth (A) - Saturday 1st Feb

[Modo]

There's a name suspiciously missing....

He was the one furthest back just looking on.

 

[Farkmaster]

Diaz unreal.

Stop smiling szobo, start drilling them in.

 

[Shadey]

Just imagine if we had a regular scoring midfielder.

 

[DHSC]

Bradley.

 

[Shay_K]

Bradley.

Or JoeGo

 

[Modo]

Hold this, then bring on Jota to kill the game off

 

[darkstarexodus]

Trent bypassed again. I would like if he just got locked in for defending the remainder of the match. Sacrifice the offence. Keep a clean sheet.

Honestly feel like we need a lovely floaty 10 behind our front 3, with a deep double pivot.

 

[Modo]

Lazy by Van Dijk there

Based on performance so far he's already sacrificed his offence

So there's no downside to waking the fuck up in our end then.

 

[Fabio]

Why, the fuck, is gravy flying down our right wing and having an effort

 

[DHSC]

Awful pass from Trent.

 

[Modo]

Where is Diaz?!
Why didn't he run into the box to help out Gravy or give him a passing option.
This is the issue I have with playing Diaz up front.
You better believe Jota would have been in there.

 

[darkstarexodus]

Moyesiah trying to make a late charge for manager of the year. Everton scoring 1/7 of their season total in this first half.

This is why I don't like Diaz there. He has his moments, but it's usually at the cost of basic 9 play

 

[Modo]

Three Bournemouth defenders defending their box. Zero LFC players in there.

 

[Fabio]

Saved by the PGMOL so far

 

[Farkmaster]

I think Diaz is doing exactly what he's being asked to do, doing a very good job, and anyone playing there in that system isnt going to also get in the box a ton.

 

[Shay_K]

Plan A going just about working, DJ and Bradley early in the 2nd half pls.

 

[Modo]

We're absolutely toothless upfront, but it's fine now because we're in the lead and we control the game easier with Diaz in the middle.
I still want us to bring on Jota though to kill the game off.

 

[Holle]

Get Trent and Szob off asap please.

 

[ibromurph]

TAA and Szobo have been hit and miss today. Need more consistency.

Also don't like this walking football we are playing. Specifically Mo and TAA.

Asking to be punished.

 

[jan]

That Semenyo shot that hit the bar was unreal

 

[Buddha]

Trent’s been awful again but will hopefully improve second half. Diaz useful now we’re ahead but I’d still be putting Nunez on and pulling Diaz to left at the 60 mark.

 

[Buddha]

Their left side is excellent.

 

[binomial]

That was a boring half to watch. Too much contain and control. Play your football, get a few goals then do that shit.

Besides the pen and the offside goal….literally nothing happened.

 

[KopRed]

I think we are doing relatively well. Just need a few players to find their feet better and we should be fine. I hope.

 

[binomial]

Dutch lads good.

Rest meh.

 

[Farkmaster]

I think macca scores
