Bournemouth vs Liverpool (A) Match Thread - COC Quarter Final

[PTP]

3 minutes for Borini to make an impact never like these changes, especially if its happening to me.

Waste of time really....if you're going to make a change to either rest gerrard or give borini a run....do it with at least 10-15 mins to go....not two.

Anyway better tonight. But my god do we still have questions marks in defence, Bournemouth had plenty of good chances

[shanks69]

got a feeling we'll get chelsea

[danperkins]

The fact that he's been left on makes me think it's about working on his match fitness

Yeh I can completely understand why we have faded in the second half. Henderson and markovic playing really hard roles, lallana actually playing a full game too. Coutinho actually put bit of work in tonight too.

[Liverpel]

Is that Richard Jenkins on the left?

[RedRum]

Sahko so slow to close shots and crosses down. Glad to see him back but does look very rusty.

The lack of match fitness on display. It was good he got some in though considering Lovren might be out (fingers crossed) for some time

[Sarb]

Great to win. Especially with quite a few committee signings on the pitch too. Sakho is so much better than Lovren!

Let's hope this is a turning point

[Kenneth]

Mostly good. I think they were a bit fearful in the first half and stood off us a lot and we exploited that well. Second half was far more even and they had plenty of good chances. They missed a sitter from 6 yards in the first half, hit the post in the second and scored. Quite a few other half chances that better strikers might have punished. Good performance but the quality of the opposition was definitely a major factor. Good boost going into the Arsenal game but we're not 'back' yet.

What happened to Lovren?

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Very good first half but we are really suspect at the back, not just the personnel but the way the team handle pressure.

The midfield for me needs to take more responsibility when you're trying to manage a lead, we could have easily thrown that away. If we play like that against Arsenal it could have a very similar feel to the United game though because they won't pass up chance after chance.

Lallana was brilliant

Markovic was excellent first half but faded but thats expected with little game time in a strange position.

Sterling, great outlet and it'll do him the world of good to grab a couple of goals there.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

What happened to Lovren?

Didn't you get involved? We all chipped in for an out of town sniper. Flesh wound this time, basic warning shot.

[G]

Great win, very good attacking display and great to see Sakho back. Hope he gets a run in the team.

Number 2 in the draw now please.

[Chris]

We could be in the final in 10 minutes. Pretty mad!

Though wouldnt be arsed if we had to play Spurs, just hope we avoid the ****fest v Chelsea.

[Chris]

Oh **** off
