Bournemouth (H) Premier League 7/3/2020 - 12:30

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

I wouldn't even have Fabinho on the bench on current form.

 

We've literally gone backwards 2 years where an opposition team are in and around or box with a few passes from their own penalty area.

[Baltar]

We've done well to come back. Hopefully we can stick a few more in the 2nd half.

Fabihno looks like he won a competition before kick off to get a game. 

I’m concerned that he’s angling for the Bjørne Tore Kvarme Memorial Trophy.

[suzy]

Well that improved as it went on

[Bobby Hundreds]

Christ we look an absolute shadow of the team we were before the break. What the hell has happened.

[etho]

I can't remember a player for us whos form fell off a cliff as much as Fabinho. Gone from giving you absolute calm knowing he's on the pitch, to wondering which pass he's going to misplace next

[3 Stacks]

We're still far too open tactically and not great in the final 3rd but good desire to respond after that disgraceful refereeing decision.

Should have never been behind in the first place.

 

Their goal was a fucking joke. Even worse that VAR looked at it and deemed it ok.

It's incredible. Midfield is the problem for me - it's not creating and it's not defending. It's barely there. 

[Grinch]

Midfield is insipid with fabinho still struggling since his injury and oxocube putting in his usual all bluster, little quality performance. 

 

We're in trouble mid week if this is the line up.   Quite fortunate that Bournemouth are atrocious. 

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

Poor half that, we’re mainly in front because the opposition has made blunders in defence.

 

They look very likely to score again, mainly because our counterpressing is not there at all. When you push the team as high up the field as we do, you need to be extremely agressive to win in back after you loose it. We’re nowhere near the required pressing at the monent at opposition teams will keep punishing us until we regain it.

[Captain]

We really need to improve our passing, it’s been way too sloppy. Mane’s to Mo for the goal was also terrible but luckily Mo still managed to put it away.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Fabinho is struggling. Doesn't look fully fit. He's the main reason why the two centre backs are getting isolated when the full backs have pushed on and Bournemouth can counter. 

 

Wijnaldum has played in that role. Maybe put him there and Lallana in midfield. 

 

Or have the centre backs drop off about 5 yards. The quick break looks like Bournemouth's best option to catch us out. 

 

We'll definitely be safer with another one. I think their heads will drop if it goes 3-1. Now that we're ahead, we need to keep up the tempo we adopted after being 1 down. The side to side stuff and back to the centre backs really nullifies our attack, particularly against a team happy to sit in. 

[bizzle10]

Fabinho still of the pace will get form back only problem is when.Is Hendo back for Atletico ?

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Why the fuck is Peter Walton not running the VAR room?

[magicrat]

Cole the most brainless pundit on the planet. Should have stuck to licking windows

[aRdja]

I reckon Firmino’s current form is the reason why we’re so intent on signing Werner.

[Stickman]

What is it with having the name Warnock is it a licence to chat shit?

This from ex-red Stepheny on the BBC sport...

 

"There was a push in the back, but I think Joe Gomez should have dealt with the situation better. It was the first attack that Bournemouth have had"

 

So Stephen if he's pushed in the back (fouled) how's he to do better?

[Dr Nowt]

If any comment is made by the referees body, I bet they say the foul was in a previous phase of play by the time the goal went in.

 

No way anyone is putting their name to that not being a foul, so they’ll have to shithouse it with an obviously bollocks excuse.

He’s right. It was a foul, but it shouldn’t have gone to that... Gomez should’ve dealt it with it much earlier. I doubt if it had been Lovren, you guys would’ve been so generous.

[johnsusername]

Gomez should have been stronger, IMO. Teams are starting to bully us again.

Yes, you've finally been proven correct that Firmino is shite after 4 years of waiting. 

[Baltar]

Not been a good performance, our form is poor at the moment. Bournemouth looked dangerous almost every time they attacked because we are so open. That's been the story of our season since the winter break, easy to open up and hit on the counter.

If Atletico stop playing that cowardly shite football Simeone has them playing and they take the game to us, we'll definitely be conceding a few goals. Hell, I'm sure they've watched our recent games and are now probably wondering why they didn't bother trying to score a few more in the first leg.
