LFC Forever 2017/18

Liverpool 3-0 Bournemouth

Salah has just become the first player to get player of the month three times in a season. I can't believe no other player all these years has gotten the award so many times.

The u18s lost to Sunderland, wow a team part of Sunderland won a game.

The u23s have a mini derby with Everton on Monday.

We drew Roma in the Champion's League final, home first. I forgot about the draw until two hours later and as Liverpool Echo was loading I wished for not home first, that's all I wanted and I didn't even get that! I don't know how I feel other than finding it weird how we keep being paired with teams that our players/ manager have been with or have a lot of relationship with.

I also realised I don't get the point of all this who d'you want when every option has gone through the same to get into that draw but I'm still asking who you wanted and how you feel about the draw?

MotM- Trent Alexander Arnold

(Part bias, part he has grown a mile in the last two weeks and he's only going to keep going. His ball delivery for Salah's goal. It's another one where it's hard to pick, Alex OC  was really impressing but I don't like him as much)

I didn't worry about this one because of how good of a place Bournemouth are in and we could only keep going. I felt a little bit of pressure seeing Chelsea win and there could be European hangover. I described the team sheet as business as usual and that was exactly what we got.

Well not exactly business as usual because it's the Hillsborough weekend. Prior to kick-off there was a fantastic minutes applause at Anfield. The Kop also unveiled a stunning mosaicin memory of the victims of Hillsborough, the 29th anniversary of which is tomorrow.

It was time to beat a team in blue for the third time in a week. If only we'd gotten a goal against the Ev.

Salah almost scored two minutes in but missed from about four yards. I thought it was in and cheered. It was a definite warning of things to come but not necessarily from Salah.

A few minutes later Mane smashes home the rebound after his initial header is kept out by the keeper. The Reds are ahead, and to be fair, it's been coming, despite the game being in its infancy. Salah did really well in the build up to that goal, keeping the ball on the right and feeding back to Henderson, who crossed for Mane to score at the second attempt.

He's now the highest scoring Senegalese player in PL history.

Alex OC played an absolute rip-snorter of a pass which opens up the Bournemouth defense and leaves  Mane running through on goal. The Senegalese can only manage to poke at the onrushing body of the keeper, though, before he's ruled offside.

Yellow card for Ake after a foul on Alex OC. TAA stepped up but his shot was saved.

During that first half we looked so comfortable that I ended up thinking if we're not serious league contenders then something's not right although I guess that's the case literally every season but you know what I mean.

Not sure how we managed to go into half time having only scored one goal. There was two minutes when dad went to make a cup of tea and missed so many shots. One from Salah over the bar. Two Robertson crosses. We were so comfortable, cruising, knocking the ball about but we deserved that second goal and to kill any Bournemouth hopes.

The second half started with Salah linking up with Firmino. His cheeky back-heel almost set Mo on his way through. It bounces off his shin though and Bournemouth  cleared. There was something a bit off with Salah today. I think Bournemouth focused on keeping there attention on him so much that it let Mane shine cos things weren't working for Salah. They were sotight on him.

Virgil Van Dijk took aim from a good range and wasn't far from hitting the back of the net.

I clapped for Ibe when he was subbed off. I liked Ibe but it seems he can't do much for Bournemouth never mind for us.

Ake pushed Salah in the box, no penalty. So it wasn't a penalty but it wasn't deemed a dive either, how can that be? It was a soft looking push but still harder than what Lovren did to Calvert-Lewin. Referees need a meeting on pushing to get the rules straight.

But I don't wanna complain too much because the ref did a good job today.

Salah didn't need that to be his 40th goal (assuming he'd take it with how selfish he was being) he had a header to put away a minute later, what a cross from right back, tricky winger Trent Alexander-Arnold! Kane argues his way to 25, Salah scores 30. We have a 30 in the league/ 40 in all goal scorer, what?! He joins Roger Hunt and Ian Rush.

We didn't think he'd score today, in fact dad was certain of it but once again even when he's marked dead tight and shut out, he'll find a way.

Mane almost makes it 3-0 with a driven effort from outside the area which just sneaks past the keeper's right-hand post!

Bobby can see the whites of the keeper's eyes and he cleverly chops inside. He puts a few Bournemouth players on the floor but fumbles the shot. He got a few offsides too, so keen to join the party.

Lovren was replaced by Klavan. He went down the tunnel. He better be copying Mo!

Firmino found three and 300 in the last minute of normal time. Roberto Firmino takes his shot first time this time, no messing and it goes in.

Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah all score in the same game, it's so satisfying when that happens. 7th time.

It was just in time for him to be taken off and be replaced by Solanke.

Robertson had a go at goal but blazes a left-footed strike over the bar.We agreed we'd love to see him score, he would so deserve it cos he's amazing. 

Next up West Brom away, Saturday 21st April 2012, 12:30. Breakfast time again! I so enjoyed the lie in today.

Brom are well and truly gone so hopefully they really have given up. I don't understand why Pardew was allowed to go with 9 matches left having contributed to their relegation, he should be made to stay and see it out. I don't get why they got rid of Pulis in the first place what a mistake that was!

It turns out Harry Kane wrote and posted this, not me, sorry guys!
