I am more interested to know what kind of porn he watches to trigger that

Didnā€™t get to see the game as I was dropping my wife at the train station then took my kids to see the dominant Bowdoin College womenā€™s basketball team win their 16th game in a row.

Sounds like this was the simplest of wins which I think everyone, including the Ipswich team, predicted. Its another game closer to tying up the title :+1:

Amazing attitude he didnā€™t roll around shook himself up up cracked his neck puffed up his chest and rejoined the fray. No fuss I swear he is made of steel.

Pretty complete display, never gave Ipswich a look in apart from the consolation goal.
For the life of me canā€™t see how that wasnā€™t a red, horrible tackle.Any serious ref would look at that replay and cringe.
MOTM for me Gakpo,though there were a few to choose from.

Any other guy, would probably have said I was being misquoted.

Bournemouthā€™s first goal was very good, but it helped that they caught Forest on a counterattack. Forest arenā€™t used to being hustled into backtracking and it showed.
The next four goals were frankly bad defending. They had two defenders on Kluivert and still backed off too much, allowing him to cross for the second. And I hope Murillo admirers on here see how abject his defending is when he is isolated or someone runs at him with the ball.

Knowing a bit about Bournemouth but not as much as I once did they have these types of runs that suddenly jolt to a standstill.

Going be a tough game they are a decent side with lots of talent but so are we. One bonus here might be a certain Mr Hughes, heā€™s going know a lot about these players.

Iā€™m still trying to find out why there wasnā€™t a var check on their goal. They had a player almost on the line behind our last defender who inhibits Alisson from diving (not that I think he could save it).

They play so fast and loose with the rules itā€™s beyond a joke. They were probably like ā€œwell itā€™s the last minute, just a consolation goal, no need to checkā€

Same as the assault on Endoā€¦

Not surprised there was no red card as itā€™s been pretty clear for some time assaulting Liverpool players is acceptable. Even linesmen can get away with it. Itā€™s just another aspect of the game where LFC are treated differently and not to our benefit.
On the game itself I was a bit disappointed we didnā€™t boost the goal difference a bit more as it may turn out to be important. Only drawing the 2nd half with one of the worst teams Iā€™ve seen in a long time is pretty poor.
Gave Endo MOTM for the 2nd game running, purely for being Endo.

Not that bothered to be honest on that. That foul however could have left the guy out or even worse.

Itā€™s a red card all day no doubt, but falls into the category of the officials interpretation. Offside is black and white. Took a few minutes to confirm Gakpoā€™s 2nd but the Ipswich one was straight to kick off.

Thing is it would have been another 10 minutes

Iā€™d rather they just stay on the pitch with their decision than spend hours on a goal that is down to interpretation.

Iā€™ve seen enough goals that they spend hours on and then wave others away. I thought the linesmen were too quick to raise their flags on two Chelsea attacks yesterday when they were borderline.

Whether or not a player is interfering in play is very much in the category of officials interpretation. That would have been the question on Ipswichā€™s goal. Think it was probably worth a little review, but at 4-1 hard to really upset about it.

Played in 2nd gear and won comfortably but still managed to concede a goal.

I think it was quite clear that the second half was played in cruise control. Those prolonged periods of rest in game might be much more beneficial long term than boosting the GD

Yup, one thing Iā€™ve noticed is we look less knackered.

Remember about 3 months in they all used to look drained. We are still 10+ on our nearest challengers, 28+ on Forest and 17+ on Man City.

Arsenal for instance only beat them 1-0 at home.
