Liverpool v Bournemouth 17/08/15 8PM Sky sports 1

Charlie19

Eddie Howe takes his side to Anfield for their first PL away game and will be encouraged by their dominance in possession and the amount of opportunities they created in their opening game against Villa.

Possible starting XI :Boruc, Francis, Elphick, Cook, Daniels, Ritchie, Gosling, Surman, Pugh, King, Wilson.


Liverpool came through a tough away game at the Britannia and found themselves lucky to come away with all three points, thanks to another magical strike by the little guy from Brazil.

Possible starting XI: Mig, Gomez, Loveren, Skrtel, Clyne, Can, Milner, Henderson, Firminio, Coutinho, Benteke.

Nothing lucky about Coutinho's goal. :mad:

I see the same starting 11 but with Can in for Lallana. Firmino to get 30 minutes.

I never said Coutinho's goal was lucky, but Liverpool as a whole were lucky to get a win because that game looked like it was heading for a draw.. Here's what I actually said.

So in your eyes, Magical = Lucky

Don't think Firming??? will start, hopefully he'll get 30-40 minutes and be good to go for the following weekend.
I'd like to see the midfield trio that finished V Stoke start tomorrow night, Can, Milner & Henderson

1-1

Giving opposition too much respect is not a good thing
I can imagine Shankly saying
'' score five and we go top!, but only alphabetically, I want 6 !!''

Wilson up against Skrtel/Lovren would worry me.

I'm with ye, Can is surely a must start, combination of the defensive with desire to burst forward from deep deserves a start after the 2nd half last week.

Could see Ibe keeping his starting place too but would love to see Firminio start up close to Benteke, if it's not working get Ibe on 2nd half or Ings maybe.

I want to see a front 2 or at least a front 1 1.

Anyone here go to mc garrys in harolds cross to watch games? What's it like?

Looking forward to this. Bournemouth play a nice brand of football but I don't think they have strengthened enough to stay up. A good few new players by both clubs needing to settle in so I am expecting a disjointed display by both.

Liverpool by the odd goal, 2-1

Grayditch

I hope that Liverpool score more goals than Bournemouth, but not own goals, just regular goals and more of them than Bournemouth to ensure a reward of three points. Even just one more goal. It worked last week.

Will this continue in the similar vein of newly promoted sides taking a surprise 1-0 lead and holding out for the win or 1-1 draw as their keeper has a world class day between the sticks?

Yes, yes it will.

Turtyturd

Hopefully a fake win for Liverpool.

rob316

Hopefully Benteke can get a couple of goals, defence can get a clean sheet, Firmino can get 30 mins and Can starts.

Still Bournemouth will be right up for it so not taking anything for granted. An unconvincing 1 nil will do nicely too.

I can see Bournemouth taking advantage of Liverpool's terrible start to the season following their awful window in their ancient stadium in front of the worst fans in the world. Fingers crossed!

Dickerty

2-0 for me, I think Liverpool will look to get at them all game, from both flanks with the FBs getting up, and with Coutinho looking for Hendo and Firmino in the channels between CB and FB. Benteke should keep their CBs busy to provide the spaces...

Buck Melanoma

3-1 liverpool, bournemouth with more possession but liverpool with more cutting edge(hopefully).

recylingbin

I would like Liverpool to win this game of association soccer by kicking and/or heading the football into the Bournemouth net.

will gladly take the same result we got vs stoke ,am hoping for a good performance

Charlie19

3 points above performance for me, it's only early into the season and there is plenty of time for everything to gel.

Utd are sitting with six points from two average performances, I'd easily take that at this stage of the season.

That's pretty generous.

Same team against Stoke it seems.

joe123

Sakho not even on the bench again. Same with Lucas.

Very odd there with Sakho especially. Id be expecting him to leave at this stage if hes not injured. How is Toure making the squad ahead of him?

True but I can't be saying anything too bad with our game still to come.

Same side as what faced Stoke.


Cherries XI to face #LFC: Boruc, Francis, Elphick, Cook, Daniels, Ritchie, O'Kane, Surman, Gradel, King, Wilson.

I find that very strange has he fallen out with Rodgers ?

5starpool

Slightly disappointed that it's the same lineup as last week.

eagle eye

A lot of people confident about how this game will go. I wouldn't be so sure, yeah Bournemouth could get well beaten in this one but they have a very astute manager and he will have learned a lot from last weekend's defeat.

Harry Palmr

Gosling and Distin!

Agent Coulson

Sakho still on paternity leave I see.

This is the type of game where Liverpool could get shown up really, although it should be a home win still. I wouldn't be surprised to see Bournemouth get a result though as Liverpool are not consistent enough generally.

Gosling...i'll never forget FA cup goal that ITV cut away from just before it went in.

Gradel,King & Wilson all have pace. They will be dangerous.

Probably the other way around.

m.j.w

Who plays on the wings for liverpool lads? Have Countinho in my draft kings team but thinking of switching for milner. Milner gets oads of points for firing crosses in. Who takes pools free kicks and pens?

GiftofGab

If Sakho had a falling out with Rodgers, Liverpool are in serious trouble for season. Having Kolo on the bench/or even starting is not good enough for a team chasing top 4.

Bournemouth aren't good enough for this league. It's as simple as that. They may get a couple of surprise wins this season but they haven't improved the side much at all.

Henderson should be on frees and pens. Jordan ibe will play on the wing
