The worry there is that Gomez is the starter in one position, and the backup in another 2; and he's someone who picks up knocks. It may not be bare bones, but we're massively emaciated

This is what I meant
We should be starting Nunez, Jota and diaz, they need to build a understand together, even more so no that Mo Salah has picked up a hamstring injury at the Afcon
Bournemouth are on a serious run of form. This is going to be a very tough game. I'd take a very ugly win.
They also have a number of injuries and Senesi suspended (and Ouattara and Semenyo away at the AFCON).
The upside of playing Bournemouth is that they are an attacking side. They won't sit back a la Fulham and play on the break. This suits us. They lost 3-1 in their last PL game away at Spurs because of that. Spurs hitting them on the break MANY times (even though Bournemouth out-shot them 24 shots to 12 but only 4 to 6 on target).
Note they were also very lucky to beat QPR, though take a look at QPR's goals - we have the pace to tear them a new one down their very dodgy right hand side.
Spurs should also have had 2-3 more !
Hopefully you are all overthinking this and I'll go with the vast majority of commentators and studio guests : my prediction is Bournemouth 1 Liverpool 3
Klopp seems to like playing Harvey there.
In the video above with the pressers somebody suggests to Klopp that he might do exactly that as part of a question about Diaz (11.10). He doesn't respond to that part of the question, naturally.
He ain't got the pace for it.. personally.. Elliott. I've no idea who else to you would have there tbh. Maybe Nunez.
Fuck no. That's such a pedestrian front 3. Bournemouth are top of the form table in the division, and we've just had a week's holiday. Engage Warp drive Mr Sulu.
Make it so…
Jeez. Didn't you watch the QPR video I posted? Both goals came from their RB getting destroyed. Nunez would tear them a new one.
Ahhh
Nope, I did not watch it.
You should.
I recall these derailing us after we’d trounced the skanks and they didn’t even have to play well. Different teams now— both are better— but we still give teams too many chances. And we’re as wasteful as all get out. Would therefore love us not concede the first goal but to score first and score often.
One thing, though, that Klopp is much better at doing this season is his use of substitutions and change of tactics.

Yes, but Klopp’s got much better options off the bench now. Easily the best he’s had since being here
My only worry about that is Diaz seems very eager to take on and try and get to goal himself. At least mo tries a 1-2 every now and then.
It was only two league games ago that Diaz did that back heel assist to Jota when he could have tried to shoot
