Great team performance, we set the pace from the off.
Although it did not come straight away we were persistent and did not let up our grip on the game. This came initially from the hunger of Salah IMO, he was constantly running at players and looking to create something. Mane got the goal and he deserves a huge amount of credit for that, because he has been arguably are most consistent player over the last 5 games, he keeps scoring when we need him to. Bobby hasn't been at his best lately, but that assist for the 3rd goal was world class, not many other players in the prem have the skill and vision to pull that off.
Our midfield was immense, as i have mentioned already i attribute it mainly to Gini as i feel he brings a calmness to our play that no one else can bring and to me it is no coincidence that his back and we get our first clean sheet in three games. Fabinho seems to enjoy playing alongside him and seems to be more confident in playing forward passes knowing Gini is around. Keita, while he didn't score a worldie or get an assist, his performance did not go unnoticed by me, not at all. I think Keita was imperative to the pressure we put on Bournemouth today, he was pressing high up the pitch, winning the ball back further back also and that pass for Bobby was exactly what we wanted to see from Naby. I really believe this is the midfield three we should be fielding week in week out.
That was the win we needed, now lets hope Chelsea can do us a favor because we have done all we can for now, onwards and upwards, come on you reds!
YNWA!
