FA Cup 4th Round: Bournemouth (A): Match Thread

[Gibbo]

There's no way we're going into the Everton match with this defence and midfield. Can't be.

I imagine Flanno will replace Cissokho or Kelly.

Sterling for Moses, besides that yep.

[danperkins]

Stevie done well there defensively to be fair

[baitman]

skrtel having his head stitched back on.

[Exiled_red]

Good defending by Gerrard

Poor marking from the corner though, but the ball in is poor

[G]

One is very young , the other has had a long spell out injured, neither are first choice and we are choosing to play better as strong a team as possible today (bar the keeper). Sturridge also needs match fitness and is more important than Aspas and Suarez wants to and can play every game and is important to our style of play.

It is knee jerk I am afraid.

Sturridge and Gerrard also had long injuries.Coutinho and Sterling are similar age to Alberto and get regular games. Age doesn't matter of you're good enough.

I'm kneejerk or you're blindly optimistic, time will tell which is which, maybe it'll be somewhere in the middle.

[danperkins]

Gerrard CB .. roll with the times

[Exiled_red]

Good defending again from Gerrard

Gerrard booked for dissent

[Lee]

Cracking challenge by Stevie.

[Muddled]

Gerrard blasting that **** lino.

EDIT: And getting booked for it.

[RichC]

Gerrard giving the Lino pelters

[baitman]

ged saving us, toure going missing and allowing their attack a free go at us and needed steve to block it out.

[Exiled_red]

Skrtel back on with a bandage around his head

[danperkins]

Kelly so lucky

[Exiled_red]

Kelly taking the Skrtel school of corner defending - pulls the guys shirt, lucky the ref doesn't see that

[RichC]

You feel the commentary teams have been briefed to raise shirt pulling in the box by us
