Liverpool 2-1 Bournemouth: Who Was Man of the Match?
Liverpool move to within 9 points of the Premier League title after a 2-1 win over Bournemouth at Anfield. Once again, it wasn’t the most convincing of victories, with the referee and VAR conspiring to award Bournemouth a controversial opening goal. The Mentality Monsters returned, though, turning the game on its head to come away with all three points.
In goal, Adrian replaced the injured Alisson and the Spaniard had to put his mistake at Chelsea quickly out of his …
Liverpool 2-1 Bournemouth - Player Ratings as scratchy Reds go one step closer to the title
Liverpool beat Bournemouth 2-1 at Anfield in the early kickoff to go to within three wins of the Premier League title, after goals from Mo Salah and Sadio Mane ensured that Callum Wilson's early goal for the Cherries was nothing but a little blip on the road.
The Reds were well below-par, though, and need to be much better on Wednesday night when Atletico Madrid come to Anfield, in the Champions League Round of 16 second leg.
Here's how each …
Liverpool Regain Winning Ways With Bournemouth Victory
Liverpool came from a goal behind to register their first win in three games in all competitions with a 2-1 victory over Bournemouth at Anfield.
Callum Wilson gave the relegation threatened visitors the lead in controversial style, when the striker clearly pushed Joe Gomez in the back in the build up to his goal, with VAR inexplicably allowing the effort to stand. However, goals from Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane gave the Reds the win, despite a nervy and slack …
Liverpool must learn from lessons past to overcome current blip
Liverpool's defeat to Chelsea in the FA Cup was their third in four games in all competitions, creating their first real drop in form all season.
While this is by no means a crisis, it is reason for Klopp and his team to sit up and take note as to what's going on in order to put the results right.
The current crop of 'mentality monsters' have shown that they have the resilience to overcome near enough any challenge, so …

Let's not go overboard about Liverpool's 'crisis'
Forget the coronavirus threatening to end civilisation as we know it, Liverpool's last two games have seemingly caused the end of the world instead.
It was all going so swimmingly before the Reds turned up to Watford last weekend - it was a happier time when supporters weren't bickering, wins were inevitable and anything seemed possible.
Doesn't it feel like a lifetime ago now?
From nowhere, Liverpool's season has veered off the track, with Watford and Chelsea delivering rare defeats …
4231 The Antidote to Liverpool's Recent Woes
Liverpool's recent form -- if not totally reflected in results -- has taken a nosedive.
Losing 3 of their last 5 games across three competitions, the Reds have looked slow of both body and mind, despite having a 10 day respite from games thanks to the Premier League's winter break.
Victories over Norwich -- the game which preceded the break -- and West Ham United -- the first league game after their temporary hiatus -- came in spite of laboured …
Listless In London
After an extremely poor loss away to Watford that ended Liverpool’s chances to set several records in the league this season, Liverpool had a chance to turn the page with a quick turnaround trip to Chelsea in the FA Cup. A win at Stamford Bridge could start to set things right after they had gone terribly wrong since Liverpool returned from a brief winter break. Jurgen Klopp even showed some respect for the FA Cup – take that, haters – …
Chelsea 2-0 Liverpool: Player Ratings
Liverpool get knocked out in the Fifth Round of the FA Cup by Chelsea after a 2-0 loss at Stamford Bridge. Another really poor and disappointing performance from the Reds as they fall to their third defeat in four games, in three different competitions.
Adrian - 5
You can’t make mistakes like the one he made for the Willian goal, but made a couple of very good stops as well.
Neco Williams - 5
Started brightly and delivered a couple …
Would Timo Werner be a Tactical Fit for Liverpool?
Timo Werner is having quite the season.
Well, that’s understating it profoundly. He’s actually made the Bundesliga his personal marksman range, scoring all sorts of goals – from volleys to tap-ins to his signature cut in and emphatic thwack.
It’s that last one, the stylistic replica of Arjen Robben’s masterful trademark (but from the other flank) that has been most tactically interesting this season. Werner is nominally a striker, but under Julien Nagelsmann, has become so much more than that.
