Now isn’t that much better? No dramas, no late heroics needed, just a routine, run of the mill, easy away win. It’s been a while. 

 

Bournemouth are great aren’t they? You break into their house wanting to steal some shit, and not only do they offer no resistance, they make you a cup of tea and show you to the hidden safe you didn’t even know about. 

 

Eddie Howe’s team knew they were beaten from the start and decided the best course of action was to just make sure they endured the least amount of embarrassment possible.

 

This was the Bournemouth I was cursing last year when they went through 90 minutes against Man City without so much as leaving their own half, let alone managing a shot on goal. Eddie Howe has done a great job with them, but his approach against the top sides is so meek that he really should be Arsenal’s next manager. His managerial approach would fit that spineless group of wastrels like an arse in a bucket.

 

Klopp made a load of changes from the team that beat the Blues in midweek, and once again they paid off. Shaq and Div came in to destroy Everton and Ox and Naby did it against Bournemouth. Having the ability to make changes and keep winning is huge, especially as it was one of the concerns people had until this week. The squad depth has been questioned but the fringe lads have stepped up big this week.

As far as Bournemouth are concerned that shitty song "can we play you every week" has never been more apt...

 

I'd forgotten what it was like to have a relatively stress free Saturday afternoon

Forgot about the 'consolation' of the Europa league if we lose. Fuck me, proper do or die stuff.

I honestly don't think Europa league would be a complete disaster.

 

We would get to rotate all fringe players in to keep them sharp and rest the first 11.

 

Yeah we want to stay in it but I'm not going to lose sleep over it. The league for me this year Clive.

Klopp wouldn't do that though, he's too competitive. He would play a strong team. Plus it's all the travel to far flung bits of Europe.

73 points from our last 25 games.

 

To put that into perspective, the last time we won the title - 38 games - we got 79 points.

 

Arsenal won it the year before that with 76 points. 

 

Amazing really.

For the first time this season opposition fans may have left the ground feeling they had played the Champions elect
