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

[Sarb]

Suarez leaving would be a hugr setback regardless of who we have. Its that simple. He is world class. We find it hard attracting players as it is

[baitman]

I'm actually not so scared about Suarez leaving in the summer as I believe Sturridge can deliver for us as a lone striker.

It would so give us funds for some bloody good players.

25 goals in 31 appearances apparently!

****ing brilliant though . What a finisher

[Mattshark]

Good to get the win and a good performance from both centre backs.
Midfield is a worry though, Henderson and Gerrard is not a good combination and while he improved in the second half, Henderson was poor again and probably could do with a rest as he has been poor all month so far.

[Shaggy]

I don't like this policy of Henderson in a lone midfield role.

Me neither, but we severely lack central midfielders, only 4 really and 2 of them are injured :s.

Our options are very limited at the moment. Maybe Allen can make it for Tuesday but we weren't great today and that was pretty much our best available 11 out there bar Sterling,Mignolet and Flanagan.We need talent in the door or back fit and we need them bloody quickly

Job done to day,no more injuries hopefully but we need to improve massively for the Derby.

[The Birdman]

Positives -
We're through to the next round
Flanagan got 20 minutes
Sturridge got another 90 and a goal
Suarez has had 2 poor (by his standards) games so hopefully the derby will fire him back up.

They got the job done, it's was a potential banana skin really. But isn't Suarez' poor run coinciding with our midfield being **** recently?

I don't think so, for me his work rate has dropped and he's gone back to poor decision making like last season.

He's obviously done more than anyone else so can have a little dip but what set him apart this season was his decision making and in the last couple of games he's been choosing the wrong options more often again.

We played most of today's game with 7 players as Sturridge only worked hard after his goal and Suarez, Coutinho and Moses didn't break sweat.

[Chazza]

I thought Vic did ok today, offered an outlet and took his man on.

Coutinho looks miles away from the player he was last season.

I don't know if you could rely on Sturridge to remain injury all season but if Suarez does **** off at least there is a 20 a season still on the books.
