Nail in my car tire, ugh. Getting it repaired then back home in time for the match.
Three points please you red men! Better possession and some nice interplay too, as we move into the season.
VAR? We play a high line. Officials are instructed to let the play unfold then allow VAR to adjudicate. No benefit to us. The stat can be seen by detractors as favoring Liverpool, but it is planned and how we play.
Other decisions? And how we are reffed?
Tomkins is the answer, and we definitely do NOT get even officiating.
Yeh sorry, the lower tier is open, the upper tier isn’t finished and the developers have filed for administration this week. So the work has stopped for now.
We will obviously have much more of the ball in this game. Trent and Andy will both be more adventurous. Gakpo struggled as a midfielder having to defend without the ball in the last game, but today he will be much more comfortable.
Good defending at times needed, then the amount of defending Bournemouth will have to do should result in goals for us.
A very minor point, but I’ve got Nunez in my fantasy team, and if he keeps sitting on the bench I might have to tweak that.
As for the real footy, again on Nunez, I think there is a devastating player waiting to emerge. I also have a doubt that we will see it, or only in fits and starts, with Salah in the same side. Just a hunch.
