Bournemouth match thread

[FoxForceFive]

Brilliant by Ibe that.

 

[Modo]

Yep - Who is the main culprit? Allen?

Allen has been poor but we all know that he can't play in the DM role.
I think Brannagan is getting sacrificed

 

[Hansern]

Ibe and Firmino have been boss

 

[Markeh]

this match is exactly what Ibe needed

 

[Farkmaster]

Much better there. Ibe really making a case for himself on the wing.

 

[cloggypop]

Ibe much improved tonight so far.

 

[Leo]

Ibe is bossing it.
Great to see him back to being a major threat again.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Origi just doesn't seem to have that knack of knowing exactly where he is in relation to the goal.

 

[Modo]

Ibe and Firmino have been boss

Clyne is easily MOM and he's playing on the left

 

[doctor_mac]

Lovely from Ibe. His and Firmino's best 45 of the season thus far.

 

[hmmmmm1]

Ibe playing with some swagger today.

 

[Jack D Rips]

He fucking warns him and then lets him do it again a minute later

 

[Leo]

Origi just doesn't seem to have that knack of knowing exactly where he is in relation to the goal.

Yup.
Especially with his back to goal.
His head and body are not on the same wavelength.
Definitely not a natural goalscorer.

 

[Raz]

Klopp walks off like he's just watched latest episode of eastenders.

And Teixeira.

 

[hmmmmm1]

Tex looks a better prospect going forward than llanna

 

[Raz]

Yup.
Especially with his back to goal.
His head and body are not on the same wavelength.
Definitely not a natural goalscorer.

He's pretty bad, sadly. He's got time on his side but strikers his age should be banging them in for fun. He is off in summer.

There might be a decent wide forward in there somewhere in him but he's never going to be a number 9.

If Firmino carries on like this second half you'd have to fancy him a better bet than Coutinho for Saturday.

 

[dmishra]

Ibe, Bogdan and Clyne the best players in that half. Firmino and Teixeira have been cute with the ball at times, but they need to start influencing the game more.

CM really letting us down. Not able to control the game at all. Allen looks so poor - I remember when he came, he was consistently bright in his passing. He never had a dynamic range - but he constantly looked for options that moved the play forward. Nowadays, he looks like a poor man's Lucas. Constantly taking the conservative option. His injuries have wrecked his confidence I reckon.

Dortmund won 7-1 today

Play Firmino in the centre and Coutinho out left so he can come inside and get his favourite shots away from the perfect angle.

According to Jamie C and Jamie R it's Firmino who's the one running the show for Liverpool.

Coutinho doesn't deserve a start at all in his current form.

 

[Fabio]

Firmino has been boss

 

[Hansern]

Allen has been awful. Sub him for Lucas

 

[King Binny]

 

[Fabio]

Poor from randall

 

[Markeh]

Allen needs to play further up the pitch

 

[Markeh]

touch from Firmino was great there
