Henderson is having a mare. Kelly can't distribute the ball to save his life. Moses has scored and will probably think he has done his bit and disappear from the game. Bournemouth are playing the better football. They are doing what Southampton did to us, closing down fast and pushing up so we have no space to play. This is going to be a long game.
What a pants performance so far. No control over the ball whatsoever and when they get it we're putting them under no pressure at all. Need to change things and get 3 in the middle, Henderson & Gerrard can't dominate a midfield against 3 even if they are Championship players. Get Alberto on and play him in the middle with those 2.
Bournemouth doing well but, hopefully, we'll play a bit better in the second half. Some of our team seem like they're still on the bus mentally.
Former Liverpool and Bournemouth midfielder Nigel Spackman, BBC Radio 5 live at Dean Court Bournemouth 0-0 Liverpool "Brad Jones looks very uneasy so far, on crosses and I think that's what happens to goalkeepers when they are not playing regularly at this level No, it's just Jones is **** on crosses. Nothing to do with not playing regularly!
We're lucky to be up. We've not turned up. Bournemouth much the better side. Need to sort out the send half performance or be heading for a reply at best or loss at worst.. Goes to show, no matter what level, if you have a team good on the ball with three in the middle, it will, more often than not get the better of team playing two in the middle. We now see why Kelly hasn't been getting game time? He's been fit for ages but he's far from the player he was when he first emerged (that could be down to the injuries taking their toll).
kelly has been poor, think his time is up personally, doubt we would get rid until summer, but if he is still here than be surprised.
We all knew this would happen, it's an FA cup game, standard. Think Kelly is just having a quiet match, was much better against Oldham.
I think he's done just fine, apart from the sloppiness the entire team, including Suarez, have had. Remember he's been out injured for a long time.
He's been solid defensively and got up and down the right a couple of times. He's been out for a long period of time and he's working himself back slowly to full fitness. Any talk of getting rid and him being finished is crazy.
