Bournemouth v Liverpool

[Nineteenx]

A must win game

Team

Alisson

Frimpong Konate Van Dijk Kerkez

Szoboslai Gravenberch Mac Allister

Wirtz

_____Salah_______Ekitike_____

Pick up better stil again, positioned to join the attack should it develop That way or quickly win the ball back and prevent any breaks it’s SO important

Same rotation of our three 10’s please ant one or two of them full backs providing width and being released early when they’re in great space

Get the win let’s build on a much improve performance and much improved tactics v Marseille

3 points minimum requirement

[Nineteenx]

So who’s thinking same again with Konate back in if available

[Steveo]

Gomez was boss last night tho mate.. Be a right kick in the balls to drop him after that. I mean Marseille might not be the best around but they are scoring goals for fun. Didn't get a sniff last night.. Nada - zip.

Not an easy one for Arne

I've always been of the opinion that the shirt is yours, until it isn't. He had a great game and should be at least given the chance to show what he can do, for as long as his body will let him.

It might just give Ibou something to think about regarding his contract...

Same team for me, with Jones in for Mac. Think Mac was slightly better last night, but he still looks miles off it. A few players look like they've picked their game up in recent weeks. Grav, Kerkez, Wirtz and Frimpong especially. Mac hasn't yet.

It's fustrating as hell, as we all know he's a quality player. We've seen it. But not for the last 8 or 9 months.

[Nineteenx]

Agree would be harsh on Gomez although he’s only just back from injury and he did have help with Grav dropping in as a third CB

Bournemouth have some powerful runners who advance very quickly through midfield to shooting areas so I think it will be really important to pick up well, especially their player most known for it , stop him receiving it and/or getting turned easy and running at us

I used to love that from our full backs in the press, pushing right onto the opposition wide forwards making them have to go backwards especially Robbo niggling and needling them as he did it 😂

[Nineteenx]

Tavineer (spell) they use him to drive it forward a fair bit and he’s quick His brief seems to be to get quickly to shooting areas and have a crack

That's harsh. Thought Macca was excellent last night in shutting down Marseille. The whole team were excellent.

And don't let anyone tell you Marseille aren't a good side. They beat PSG recently. They are a very good side. We were just superb.

Virgil enjoys playing along beside him, he said as much after the game. Hopefully he's well looked after and fit for the weekend.
It'll be tough but if we play the way we did last night we'll get the win.

I concur

Get that press and counter tighter and tighter

I love it because if you’re picking someone up when you’re attacking it’s much easier to make a run off them to join the attack and arrive in space

Like tio see our forwards keeping their CBs edge if their iron box abd when the wide players are released that be a trigger for one of the 10’s to make a run into the box to be picked out

Have them arriving with the two forwards just behind them give Kerkez and Frimpong 3 runners to pick out

I am to an extent, moreso if a player has been out of form or injured and another comes in and performs consistently better and the team does

If Konates father has passed, as was mentioned somewhere else on here then he'll be in France for a good few days. He could do with a rest also so keep playing Gomez

Agreed Ibou is in my thoughts and prayers he’s very young to lose his father I hope he gets the support Jurgen gave Connor as he should

[miller0863]

Yep I doubt Konate will be available at the weekend anyway. My worry is the obvious possibility of Gomez breaking down again with 2 games in 3 days though he was excellent last night

[justme]

Sorry to hear Konates fathers death.
