Liverpool v Bournemouth

[Bilo]

Get everyone gelling with him then yes absolutely. The guy is a monster!

Maybe he'll make it but honestly Salts, it's much, much more likely that he won't. The situation isn't unique and looking at past examples, there's only one outcome.

We've got a nr 10 inclined to look for through balls but rarely taking the deep run himself. Ahead of him is a nr 9 looking to meet the build up play but rarely taking the deep run himself.

It doesn't take a genius to see why it hardly ever works out.

 

[Leewilson]

Unchanged team for Liverpool despite the subs being the catalyst for actually winning the match against Stoke. Hmmmmm

It has to work for Rodgers otherwise he's out the door. Benteke will be there a few seasons to try and impress and he has the talent and I believe the adaptability to be a success. It may take a while but I think the big man will do well.

It's Rafa-esque, quite odd.

I can't see it, I'm afraid, and if anyone going to adapt I'd put more hope to Coutinho than Benteke.

Gonna be an interesting match.
Hopefully we will play better than against Stoke and snag a second win.

Liverpool 3 - 1 Bournemouth

 

[Stevencc]

That goal should have stood.

 

[Pagnell]

Harsh ruling out that. A few handbags in the box but it looked ok to me.

Lovren struggling, needs to step up.

 

[Master D]

If that's the other way there's no way he disallows it. A big club decision.

 

[Pagnell]

At this rate we'll need a bit of Unitedesque fortune to take the points. We're playing some fucking shocking football.

 

[Jamie_SFC]

Scummer chants towards our ex players (ignoring Surman and Boruc) from the Bournemouth end.

Cute.

 

[Stevencc]

All Bournemouth so far. I can't see it lasting long but their fans must be loving it.

 

[SALTIRE]

Coutinho beginning to click.

 

[JimJams]

Some tackle from Clyne!

 

[Stevencc]

Balotelli in the crowd there, looking like Prince wondering what it sounds like when doves cry.

 

[SALTIRE]

Haha bonkers Balotelli looking straight down the camera

 

[silvergull]

That's very offside

 

[Jamie_SFC]

That shouldn't count.

 

[JimJams]

Definitely shouldn't count cos Coutinho goes for the ball from an offside position, 100% interfering with the play.

But I'll allow it cos it's gonna pocket me £90.

 

[Master D]

Good job they changed that offside rule init.

 

[Pagnell]

Cracking goal.

 

[Hank]

See officials bang up to speed with new offside rule

 

[Bilo]

Hopefully one of many! 1-0 Benteke.

 

[Stevencc]

Sky commentators quite rightly discussing the new offside rules, which means that goal shouldn't have stood.

One offside goal against ruled out incorrectly and one goal for incorrectly allowed. I think you are going beyond "Unitedesque" levels of luck here, Pagnell.

 

[SALTIRE]

Big man gets the goal!!!!!

Smith for once is correct though with the rule changes this year Coutinho is offside.

 

[SamScfc]

Soft goal. Can see that bring Bournemouth's problem this season.

Lets hope it continues for a fraction of the time you lot have had it, what for over 20 years!?!

 

[Pagnell]

Stupid fucking rule update anyway. Glad it's been ignored. *

* unless it benefits Bournmouth.

 

[silvergull]

It was offside even under the old offside interpretation. He's very much interfering with play

 

[johnnytodd]

dissallowed goal for opposition aT Anfield?................no way...........penalty or offside goal to come

 

[snortingfrogs]

Happy to see Benteke get a goal in his first match at Anfield.
We look much more lively after the goal and we have taken over the game after a really poor start.
