It's all Bournemouth and they look increasingly likely to pull one back. Need to change the team here to hold on to the ball. Origi and Milner for Firmino and Ojo perhaps.
not impressed with Ojo looking for pens tbh, once in the 1st half now that sorry excuse, youre a big lad use it
Smiths been ****. That's a hat trick of not given pens now. Smith dived in before and let them have free cross. Seriously poor today imo. Will sign an lb this summer imo
nearly threw it away again ffs!!!! 1-2 and 3pts, not sure how vital they will be in grand scheme of things but game time for some was good.
He'll be in the championship next year I reckon. He's worse than Moreno and by some distance. hopefulky we do bring in Jonas Hector.
See that ****e.... ball at feet and scattered out to them in cm not pumped high out over side line. Why can't we clear a ball... Sturridge missed 3 clear goal scoring chances and gets the cream pie treatment from pundits. Should be scoring hat trick there. Win is a win and westham only drew in end...thank **** for that. Roll on derby. Imo we'd only one first team player out there today til sahko and Origi came on. We will take it.
Klopp rotates his squad, plays a lot of youngsters, and we win. Job done. Well done to Ward - he was excellent.
Ojo is raw but offers promise. Ibe seems to dwell on the ball for too long. Sturridge is getting greedy. Allen's pressing and composure at times helps dictate the game. Lucas should never play in defence again. Oh and Smith at left back played an awful game
Not that I ever want us to concede, but I did predict us to win 2-1 with Studge to score in the Prediction league, so silver linings and all that
Yes defenders have to not dive in full pelt. We at least can go 6th with derby win and are joint 7th with one goal in it for Southampton We are still 5 off Utd but win in derby should keep that gap.
I'm sure when we all saw the team before kick off we would have taken a 2-1 win. Thought Ward did Ok, could do nothing about their goal. We could have given 3 pens away today, would have done if Webb was the ref. It must be borne in mind it was very much our second string out today. In the summer we will improve with the signings we have made and will make so overall I am very optimistic about things.
We've our last two league games after EL matches. Breaking that hoodoo. Wasn't a great performance, but there were good moments and we're building momentum to take into next season. Sturridge could/should have a hat trick but he looks a lot sharper now - his finishing will improve but his all round play is very encouraging now. Getting back to his best ...
