Premier League 12/3-12/5

[Blender]

What a comeback for Bournemouth. Huge win for them, and a terrible collapse by Liverpool.

The games this weekend have been fantastic so far.

The word that comes to mind for Karius is the same as Liverpool's ability to close out games. Unconvincing. He looks like a really solid shot stopper but he has stone hands.

They don't look like a team that can see a title through.

 

[John Price]

Great comeback.

 

[Savant]

Karius has left a lot to be desired. Bournemouth kept getting stronger and Liverpool kept getting weaker. Klopp did not have a good game either. I think it's obvious that there was no substitution that Liverpool had to change the game offensively but there is no reason that he couldn't throw Klavan on to help out the back while Bournemouth was pushing. Really disappointing game.

Reminds me of the game ni Southampton last season they blew. Controlling the game and boom. Oh well. Whatever Sakho must have done must be significant.

Yep. At 2-1 I was uneasy. At 3-1 I thought they might tighten up but here we are. I've been optimistic about their ability to challenge for the title this year but this one is an eye opener for me. Reminds me of away to Palace in 13-14, just at a different point in the season.

In any event, they need help at the back. They don't even have European competition and they can barely cover at CB. Need depth and quality.

A team that wants to a win the league has finish this game with 3 points. No other way around it.

Solid weekend as a Chelsea fan. We have a really smooth next couple weeks of fixtures (the holidays aren't as cluttered for games this year?), so I think we can do some good consolidating.

 

[Halladay]

Anyway, great win for Bournemouth. i never want to see a Lucas/Lovren pairing again.

No red for Rojo?

Also, what is a cleverley?

Oliver set the line when he failed to give a card to Barry earlier.

Seems the ref's line of sight was impended enough so he didn't see the tackle fully.

And finally Barry is booked. Though he should be off.

 

[Jussi]

Zlatan!

What the hell was Stekelenburg thinking there?

 

[I Eat Crow]

What a terribly boring game ManU and Everton is so far.

Barry should have been sent off already, as should Rojo. Can't wait until Bailly and Smalling are fit again so Rojo doesn't see any more game time.

Bailly's on the bench already.

Bailly's on the bench already.

Is he fully fit though? He should be starting if he is

 

[Jussi]

Probably not if he's only on the bench. Might see some minutes at the end, depending on tactical needs.

 

[Jussi]

That would have probably been in had Herrera gotten to shoot with his right foot.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Why on earth does Fellaini still get playing time? Guy's like a cockroach.

 

[Halladay]

gut punch for United.

 

[Jussi]

Effing Fellaini...

 

[awesomo]

just dumb dumb dumb

 

[Jussi]

Why on earth does Fellaini still get playing time? Guy's like a cockroach.

Considering how much Everton very putting in crosses, it makes more sense to put him in there instead of Mata for example.

 

[Jussi]

You just knew this was coming the second Herrera's shot hit the woodwork.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Considering how much Everton very putting in crosses, it makes more sense to put him in there instead of Mata for example.

Then put Bailly in if he's fit enough to play even a few minutes. Fellaini is one of the most overrated players to wear red in the past 20 years.

 

[Gecklund]

Felliani shouldn't ever be getting playing time.
