Pre-match thread Bournemouth (A) - 11 March 12:30

[darkstarexodus]

Jota for Elliott? What formation now?

 

[Markeh]

Hmmm how does this change work then?

 

[Shay_K]

Jota on for Harvey

 

[darkstarexodus]

You just know Klopp's going to come out with the 12:30 kick off as being the issue despite it being a whole week since we last played.

Jota on for wee Harvey.

Front 4, it has to be.

Guess if our midfield is being bypassed, might as well just not have one.

 

[Markeh]

Gakpo rcm?

 

[Farkmaster]

My half time team talk would be "never forget we are shit."

Attack just is waiting for us to build play. But NEVER forget we are shit attackers. One at AM, one threatening behind, one an outball out wide. You can't just lope around thinking we will develop something. We won't. Because... NEVER forget we are shit.

Harvey, you're off. I forgot we were shit and wouldn't be on the ball enough to make use of you. You keep remembering that Fabinho is shit and can't pass, so you're helping him out. But you weigh 100 lbs and are slow, so in a game with no space, that we aren't dominating, I'd rather watch Fabinho pretend to be able to pass than watch you pretend to be a midfielder in a DM position.

VVD - did you forget we're shit? We can't afford for you to be shit too. Snort some of this adderal and stop sleep walking.

Midfield - we're shit, remember? We're probably going to lose the ball. I know you didn't forget we are shit in defense, but the creeping shit has got VVD too, so fucking sprint back as though everything is going to go wrong, because it probably will.

One last thing. Bournemouth are shit too. Don't forget that either.

 

[Farkmaster]

Nunez, Gak and Mo may as well not be on the pitch. Defence is all over the show. With Trent ruining our offside trap, VVD seemingly not arsed and Konate trying desperately to give away free kicks or pens.

I think our issues have been far more in midfield and VVD individually than the whole of the defence.

 

[darkstarexodus]

I... I don't understand what position Trent is playing now.

 

[binomial]

Unlucky Jota, thought it was heading in.

 

[Markeh]

Great play Jota

 

[Shay_K]

Nice effort

Shame we didn't think of that 3-4 months ago.

 

[darkstarexodus]

Shame we didn't think of that 3-4 months ago.

We did try it. Turned out our defending was shit too.

 

[Shay_K]

Cody looking good so far in the middle.

 

[binomial]

Still don't get why Klopp is obsessed with keeping Darwin on the left....switch him and Jota ffs.

 

[KopRed]

Long while since I heard Robbo's name.

 

[binomial]

Oh Fab just get the fuck off the pitch.

 

[darkstarexodus]

Fabs with an excellent Didi Crumple. Love to see it.

 

[Markeh]

Fabinho lol

 

[refugee]

Throw in. Throw it straight to a Bournemouth player. What even is the fucking point

 

[MomoWASright]

Fuck. Off. You. Fucking. Donkey. Take fucking Mo with you.

 

[KopRed]

Baj has been poor.

 

[binomial]

Robbo waiting for Darwin to run offside before passing. Not smart.

 

[refugee]

Nunez offside. When he can clearly see every Bournemouth defender. Just awful

 

[binomial]

Nunez offside. When he can clearly see every Bournemouth defender. Just awful

But he's looking back at Robbo to see when the fuck he's gonna play the pass?

 

[Markeh]

This is awful

 

[Fabio]

We're just not very good

 

[Tinto]

Nunez offside. When he can clearly see every Bournemouth defender. Just awful

Yep, and awful from Robbo too for taking far too long before making a pass

 

[binomial]

We're just not very good

Think you've hit the nail on the head here Fabio.

 

[Raz]

I'd love to see our shape from above. Hoofing the ball now. We're a mess. And players getting frustrated now which inevitably will lead to us conceding another.
