81 - A Sign Of Things To Come

Episode notes

You can take out of this match what you want to. On the one hand there are the individual errors and potential season-defining injuries that might cost us dear, yet conversely, we continue to witness an AFC Bournemouth side boasting an increasing array of cohesion and attacking prowess. Either way, the game versus Liverpool might well be a sign of things to come.

Cherries slipped to a 2-1 to a shaky Liverpool side - with the league leaders edging ever close to their first Premier League title. Callum Wilson opened the scoring for the Cherries after a well-worked goal, however individual errors gifted the home side two goals to ensure they went in at half time with the advantage. Despite AFCB forging a few decent chances, we were missing the cutting edge needed to convert, and the home side held on for an important three points.

This week, Jeff Hayward is joined by Tony AKA Mr Tigz, and discusses the key points from the match, including VAR working FOR us at last, the Cookie injury, brave but costly individual moments, Mane madness, and Fraser’s moment of Milner misfortune.

We also speak to BBC match-day commentator and Wembley stadium announcer Kris Temple, discussing all things football including CoronaVirus, Eddie Howe, the best AFCB player to interview, and THAT Elvis Costume… (full video is on the Youtube channel!)

Plus we look forward to next week’s vital encounter against Crystal Palace, who will be buoyed by their recent upturn in form.
