yeah he has certain shown increasing levels of awareness and just being in right place to make interceptions in the past while. he must be getting close in klopps mind as cb. if taa was a year older he might be in at rb more and Gomez in centre.
Wasn't suggesting Studge to be sold in Jan, sold in the Summer after Ings has reclaimed his fitness. Studge really needs to go, for both him and us. He's fallen behind Solanke and now Ings, then there are some exciting prospects like Woodburn, Wilson and Brewster who deserve a chance to have a go, instead of clapped out Studge.
Yup defence were solid bar one chance that went to Defoe where Klavan chased the ball abd middle of midfield disappeared.
Bright future I'm totally fine with him not being rushed into CB to be honest, that would be throwing him in the deep end so good management, get a competent CB in for him to play alongside before doing that.
Really good result and performance from us. Morale lifting too. Good feeling about this game. I predicted a >3 goals victory. I knew that howe and Bournemouth had so callled "footballing" players and will let us play. He is not as savvy and ruthless as Big Sam or Pulis. Bournemouth was trying to play a passing game but gifted us possession in all areas of the pitch, with unenforced errors. But we were good today. We made use of the opportunities and the score did not flatter us. Onwards to the gunners!
yeah.. you just never know what Bournemouth will do. they are so inconsistent. then there's arsenal who are the same. and will play football so... well anything could happen there.
However Ford did not say anything to indicate he is even going to stay till summer My money is he is gone jan which is sad
Thought gomez’s passing was very off today in first half missed chunks of second but he is young plus anyone can have off day but yes his reading was good
Yep. Fits in the pattern of the season: Either Draw an obstinate team at home or tank a naive one away. We tanked a naive footballing side. With Arsenal, it may be the same or our defence may let us down like at Spurs. So it could be a 2-0 with Lovren making his usual errors or 1-3 to us. Really difficult one to predict but I'll go the 1-3 to us.
There's absolutely no need for us to sell him in January, that'd be ridiculous and really piss me off. We've lined up Keita to replace him in summer so if Barca still want him in summer then I shall say thank you a goodbye
I don't know. if we turn up. if they turn up... it's impossible to say for me. they sometimes leave the midfield 2 to do all the work and we could swamp them.... much depends in if Ozil bothers. arsenal have huge quality but must apply themselves. we USUALLY show the intensity and work rate in a big game like this one.
Don't see why we'd sell him in January after spending the whole summer fighting to keep him. He's cup tied for the CL anyway and Barca are doing fine in La Liga. We need a second half to the season even if it means we don't get as much for him.
