Yep, my bad

Just watched it again and it's a fair cop... When I first watched it I thought it was Hegazi grabbing Stephens' shirt, but it's the other way around. I'll shut up now!

I'm getting a tad annoyed about this now.... have a butcher's at the replay.... Stephens was almost pulled to the ground by Hegazi just before he scored.... it was a clear cut foul on Stephens... he didn't lose his man... Hegazi impeded him such that it was impossible for Stephens to follow him.

Fair call, but I think Bertrand plays much better when he's got the captain's armband on. He seems to thrive on the accolade...

I'd forgotten about the Long stonewall penalty... I was thinking of the trip on Boufal when responding to Jonnyboy.... so that's two good penalty shouts we had, to WBA's one....

To be (slightly) fair to Pellegrino.... Lemina was below par in the last few games he started.... probably because he still wasn't 100% match fit... but, yes, when he's 100% fit and in form, as he was today, then he's a 'must start' every game, f'sure

And good to see Boufal eager to take responsibility. Good all round

This. Whilst 'heart' says stick with the same starting 11, 'head' says we should deploy Lemina, Romeu and Hojbjerg vs the better sides, of which Liverpool is one.

We had a clear shout for a penalty too that would have put us out of sight, not to mention Long's gold plated opportunity to make it 4-1. It was a scoreline than flattered WBA in the end.

Yep, I mentioned that on the match thread when people were criticising Stephens for losing his man. He was fouled, plain and simple

I'm going to stick my neck out and predict that JWP makes the England world cup squad....

It was Stephens and he was fouled by Hegazi so the goal shouldn't have stood anyway

We won a premier league game!!

Redmond on.... Yikes...

We haven't played poorly (IMO)

I feel sick

We need Hojbjerg on to shore things up in midfield

Anywhere else on the pitch and the ref gives a free kick for that.

Jesus Long.... How the f*** does that header not go in?

Long elbowed in the back but no penalty.

So, what do people want as things stand... Saints hold out for the win and Pellegrino stays, or WBA nick a result and Pellegrino gets the elbow?

Bournemouth 2-1 up

Just think... If Tadic whips that ball into Carrillo a few MPH quicker and we're 4-1 up. Fine margins...
