@stickyf1ngaz- Blame Klopp's failure to bring in a good left back not the player who is doing a role he isn't accustomed to. With the rapport he has in Germany, Klopp could've signed Ricardo Rodriguez or Jonas Hector for only £20m.
@SteveHyland "Only"
While yes, I think we need a new left back at some point, Milner has been great there all season. One bad performance isn't telling, nor is one great performance.
@sarigginsUSA- £20m for a top quality left back is nothing considering Klopp's tactical failings pretty much exclusively lie within the defensive areas. He happily spent £24m on Wijnaldum, who will never be world class in his position and probably wouldn't even get into Liverpool's front 6 with everybody playing at their best yet somebody who can get into a world XI in his position for LESS money is considered too expensive? Milner just doesn't have the skills to be able to play LB against a decent attacking RB or RW (ie one with pace that can dribble) and has looked ok simply because he hasn't faced one.
@SteveHyland Like I commented on the pre-game for LFC vs WHU, if you factor out the two games away at Arsenal and Bournemouth, our defense is better (or the same) as every other defense bar Tottenham.Obviously, the bad games still count, but our defense is far better than in recent years and as the season progresses I think it will settle nicely.
Oh My God, in the Cook goal to tie in 3 there were 9 Reds defenders + the GK however it was Cook whose got the ball inside the box and scored. Disastrous defense from Reds. Great match overall.
It'll be interesting to see which front 6 Klopp goes with. Lallana is fit apparently but doubt he'll start since he has only just started full training. My guess is a CM of Can, Henderson and Wijnaldum with Firmino moving to LW, Origi playing the 9 and Mane RW as the front 3. Bournemouth are no mugs, play some nice football but can be suspect defensively. I will go with a 2-1 Liverpool win but can't rule out a 3-2 cracker with these two.
Big game for Mane perhaps. Been enjoying Emre Can in the midfield. Has just enough skill, keeps good possession, and is more physical than Lallana or Wijnaldum. Without the threat of Coutinho, he will be crucial to keeping this game in Liverpool's control. Voted Mane for MOTM but could easily see Hendo or Can for the honor. Stanislas will keep this game interesting for the Cherries.
@STLhooly- Gives more balance too. Henderson can't be the lone defensively minded player in Liverpool's midfield the way they play, he just isn't good enough as a DM so Can takes some of the pressure off.
Probably Milners worst game all season. Concedes penalty, caught way out of position on the second goal. Rough all round

Liverpool swallowed by the Bournemouth of madness...
Ah the Liverpool bottle-it train was merely delayed, not cancelled. Normal service has resumed
lol
Naive from Klopp not to go more defensive at 3-1.
@Mega He took off Mane and put in Lallana, that's a defensive swap. Blame the whole camp, not just Klopp and not just the players. YNWA
classic liverpool
Fantastic 2nd half performance from Bournemouth. They should have had another penalty as well.
Lol at Klopp
Loserpool think they can win the league conceding 4 goals to mighty Bournemouth?! Loooool!
@excalibur Mk Dons 4-0 Manchester United
@Skendo- In the league cup. Hardly comparable to losing in the league. Different dynamic, mentality.... everything.
This is how Dortmund felt! Football is fair and always balances out...
That defence will not win the league. Simple
@mIKe9441 Let's hope for a good winter transfer window...
Unbelievable!
@BeautifulLoser Jeff!
AKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! There's a proper Chelsea lad. LOLLLLLL!!!
the bitter end !
WTF Liverpool? 1:3 to 3:3? You kidding me?
@BeautifulLoser No no it was 1:3 to 4:3,point of correction sir
@0708915762 I stand corrected, but I wrote this in the 80th minute.
@BeautifulLoser really look like joker!
wtf liverpool??
Terrific conversion rate until now (70'). 3 shots on target = 3 goals.
What a finish from Can. Playing in a back three is but a distant nightmare for him now.
Lovely finish by Origi, he's really knocking on the door to start weekly.
liverpool win 3-1 or 4-1
GG
2-1 Liverpool.... late penalty winner
x 2-2
2, btts
1-2

liverpool woin by 2-0
0-3 Liverpool Origi to score
@Overmars Did not see that incredible turn around from Bournemouth. Liverpool were very complacent and arrogant, Scotsman Fraser changed the game.
lets see how far they go without countiho
@Blacknaldo We'll probably have a lot of 1-0, 2-0, and 2-1 wins and some 1-1 draws as well.
1-2
Liverpool is very good team but is be big test for Klopp and the players I hope they can do it . 3-1 to Liveerpool Ibe score to Bor
