Pre Match. Bournemouth vs Liverpool. PL Match 5. Sunday September 20th. 1400hrs

Mcmanaman (I think) doing the commentary in the states. He’s awful. Every liverpool touch/tackle/pass is shit according to him (he’s not wrong by much, but he’s even going in when it’s not bad). While every 5 yard pass from Bournemouth is brilliant.

That’s a fucking stupid thing to say.

Bournemouth have got quality players all over the pitch. Loads of us here will have Rayan and Scott on our shopping list. You’re not getting much change out of £200m for the pair of them, but because they play for Bournemouth, they are shite?

I think the most exciting part of this half was watching the ticker in the corner of City/Sunderland

Then dropped off a cliff after Feb

Nyoni for Wirtz, push Dom to the 10.

Bournemouth as expected with a high work rate. Maybe they will tire in the final few minutes, and the right subs can exploit that

It’s Stephen Warnock on USA. He’s been bitter since Rafa (I think) left him out of the party.

I’m sure there are some other players that are performing poorly this game however Wirtz has been so abysmal that he is camouflaging them.

Its the same thing we have with Carragher trying not to be seen as biased makes them look stupid.

He did. Wouldn’t argue with that

His confidence seems very fragile. Not what you want from your big money 10

He is capable of much better though

They’re a decent side but the mid table sides in the Prem are being overrated because of the lack in quality the top teams play.

Bayern Barca Madrid PSG Inter wallop them all.

Wirtz needs to put on more upper body strength and Szobo is kinda pointless in the middle where he cannot put a pass in…

HT match highlights should be a cracker

For most of that half we couldn’t get our midfield on the ball, having to bypass them and then our forwards just can’t hold up the ball.

On that half Wirtz shouldn’t be coming out for the 2nd half, and maybe a couple of our other forwards.

That’s some list! To be fair, they wallop most sides in Europe, maybe not Inter.

Dom isn’t a 10

So, Nyoni on for Wirtz in the second half, then we push Dom and Mac forward more.

Isn’t that the most obvious ?

At least we are still unbeaten!

In my view it’s not his strength

He’s timid and looks nervous. He isn’t playing with any zest or sharpness

Switch it to a 1-2 and not a 2-1 in the midfield?

Might get some joy from that. Definitely worth trying.
