Bournemouth official match thread

[Athens]

He's a real box of tricks at times, Coutinho.

 

[cloggypop]

There's Benteke pressing and winning the ball back.

 

[Aidan O' Neill]

I assume the lino thought he'd touched it? Not fully up to speed with this new rule, only heard half an explanation.

Basically since Coutinho made a proper attempt to go for the ball he was active so was offside.

 

[Athens]

More importantly for Brendan Rodgers is to play his strongest players in their best positions.

 

[tony]

Martin Tyler now predicting that Coutinho is soon to be plucked by a bigger club.

Can you tell Martin to fuck right off

 

[Dirkus_Circus]

Good half from Benteke, Coutinho once he warmed up, Milner and Clyne.

Meh first half from the center halfs, Gomez, Lallana, and Lego Head.

Poor first half from Ibe.

Bobby Firmino will do a lot to liven things up second half.

 

[Molbystwin]

Playing a little bit too direct IMO.

Not sure if the midfields set up right at all...

But winning so...

Give a shit.

 

[Dirkus_Circus]

Been yelling at the telly plenty mate, trust me.

 

[Dahuge]

Started very slowly only got into it when coutinho got more of the ball.

Gomez, Ibe and CB's all meh

Lallana was he even on the pitch, hook him now for firmino

 

[Athens]

I hope this is Lallana's lalast chance.

 

[Hansern]

First 15 mins we didnt look up to it at all. Could be nerves obviously.
Good goal from Benteke who has been excellent.
Coutinho, Clyne and Milner bossing it.

After a shaky start Gomez looked very good last 15 mins.

Lallana off and Firmino on please.

 

[gkmacca]

Remember all those people in the summer trying to make themselves feel better about Sterling leaving by trying to convince themselves that Ibe was actually a better player right now?

Good times.

Not many, as I recall. But I think Ibe will be at least as good and it's a bit sad you're eagerly trying to be negative about him at this stage.

Meh??? What does that mean?i

 

[dmishra]

Why play such a defensive formation against Bournemouth at home? Weird.

Nah not at all, I think he will come good. Just pointing out he is no where near as good as Sterling right now.

Get us drilled for Arsenal I guess

How bizzarre... I've got Martin Tyler and Beglin on here and I didn't hear him say fuck all..

I don't put it past him though... he is skillful as a wind up merchant... Which seems to be a genre among commentators these days ... He doesn't ever say anything worth listening to mind you, no insights nor hitherto unseen observations just wind ups.

It would terrible should something untoward happen to him.

Exactimundo - it would seem Rodgers has got Bournemoth mixed up with Barcelona - baffling

 

[SummerOnions]

Some good signs of cohesion but still a long way from fluent. When we learn to actually pass to each other in the right positions, we will look boss

 

[Hansern]

He's a year younger than Sterling. He would be much more effective on the right. But thats down to Rodgers.

He is not commentating here in the uk thank fuck - he just regurgitates his pointless researched stats and vignettes

 

[Hansern]

“@AnfieldRd96: Coutinho could find Memphis Depays dad.”

 

[Dahuge]

Meh??? What does that mean?i

It means meh, you know not lallana shite but not good either just meh - 4.5 or 5 out of ten

 

[Shay_K]

If we have 6pts at the end of the night I'd be very happy. That new offside rule is too complicated for a sport where the ref doesn't get a second look.

 

[gkmacca]

He's a year younger than Sterling. He would be much more effective on the right. But thats down to Rodgers.

He'd come on quicker if he had a season or two playing in the same team as Suarez. But he isn't.

 

[keniget]

We look like a very expensively assembly team of workers and projects at the moment (one or two obvious exceptions aside).

Too much rests on Coutinho who is looking inconsistent at the moment. Lallana isn't contributing enough and Ibe is too raw to be starting games for me. He needs tired legs and space ahead of him right now.

Is that Ings with PINK boots on? Dearie me.
