Bournemouth vs Liverpool (League, away)

[James]

Am I the only one happy to see this team?

*Edit. Team lineup, I mean.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Its more about resting players though.
Wouldnt you rather rest players today? 2,5 days after Dortmund.
Playing some of them again today might give us more injuries.

So being short of defensive midfielders, it's a good idea playing Lucas at centre back when Skrtel is available?

 

[FoxForceFive]

Not a bad chance for sturridge, didn't quite catch it as well as he wanted but decent chance.

 

[Hansern]

What are we moaning about? We get to see some of our most talented players play together today.
Isn't that what we hoped Brendan and others would do?
The Brendan who didn't give Stewart a thought.

Yep, and Allardyce and McCarthy have never been in a semi final in a European compition (except maybe the Anglo Italian cup).
If we win today we're 8 points off 4th with 6 games to go. Or do you rotate today (2,5 days after the Dortmund win and 3 days before a new game), to get into a final that can give you CL?

 

[FoxForceFive]

have we ever played there before ? Don't think we have in the league

It was to honour the Hillsborough anniversary I think. Some of their fans sung it too though, which was nice.

It's odd

Match fitness? He's hardly played and needs game time if he's going to be ready for Villareal. Resting someone getting back from injury wont work with match fitness.

Errrr.....play him in midfield then.

The only possible reason I can grasp at for that is that he wants to get lucas match fit (he takes about a month to get to match pace usually!), but playing him at DM exposes his lack of pace too much.

I'm really reaching for that explanation though.

@Modo any Acestream links?

Please and thanks!

 

[James]

Geez. Firmino's hair is shite.

 

[Hansern]

Ha, quite. Stewart needs match fitness aswell though.

 

[Modo]

It's Swedish sorry

 

[FoxForceFive]

Firmino looks like he's modelled his hair on knuckles the echinda from sonic the hedgehog fame.

 

[cloggypop]

Geez. Firmino's hair is shite.

He looks like Woody Woodpecker

 

[Modo]

At the store....shoes gf...kill me

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

He's not in the Europa squad so what does he need to get fit for?

 

[cloggypop]

Lucas trip inside the area

 

[FoxForceFive]

To play in the other games before the 28th maybe?

If it is to get him match fit then I do suspect it's cos klopp has realised how off the pace he is when he returns from injury so using him at CB exposes that less than him being at DM. I don't agree, just the only semi logical explanation I can find.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Firmino:

 

[FoxForceFive]

Randall & Ojo combining well to create that chance. Good defending from Cook to prevent the corner.

 

[bkwitche2]

Horrible hair do.

It's Swedish sorry

Beggars can't be choosers! I'm on one of the streams Macca posted for now but it's pretty choppy, so happy to have a backup.

Cheers!

 

[Mystic]

Why are we playing our reserves, have we just packed in the league?

 

[FoxForceFive]

We look as awful in defence as always. Good job that free kick was shite.

 

[James]

Sorry if this has been mentioned but is Benteke on the bench?

 

[FoxForceFive]

Great play by Ojo, good shot & save, Randall perhaps should have done better with the shot following the block.

 

[bkwitche2]

Sorry if this has been mentioned but is Benteke on the bench?

He is not.

 

[Best Believe It]

Ojo could be fucking ace.
