Dr Phil Diagnosis: Bournemouth
After a dismal day on the south coast where the top four became a major ask, Dave Davis walks through the Bournemouth game with Dr Phil Barter from the Under Pressure Pod to find a snippet of what the data told us and look where it went so wrong. We looked at the impact (or not) of the front three and how we simply failed to get Mo and Trent involved in the right areas. Bournemouth made a smart adjustment …
Bournemouth 1 - 0 Liverpool - The Post-Mortem
What an unbelievable crash back down to earth, after the historic 7-0 win against Manchester United, last Sunday. After taking apart one of the nation’s best sides, it was always a concern as to which Liverpool team (psychologically) would turn up this past weekend. A lunch time kick off, away to a side that was holding up the entire Premier League table…?
What could go wrong…
This was maybe the 5th or 6th lowest point of the season, with 7th …
Away Form: Mentality is Monstrous
Trent Alexander-Arnold didn’t sugarcoat it in anyway when asked afterwards about Liverpool’s abject performance against Bournemouth. “Every team in the league is fighting for something so it means a lot to get the three points and I think looking back on it now, they probably wanted it more than us and that is something that is unacceptable and we need to make sure this kind of thing doesn’t happen again.” Unacceptable is a fair description for the majority of away …

Liverpool FC 9 - 0 Bournemouth - The Player Ratings
The Starters:
Alisson Becker – 7
Well positioned to clear or gather any slightly overhit long ball, which came in useful once or twice. Didn't have much to do, but did it well.
Trent Alexander-Arnold – 8
What a strike! Trent looks like he's got something back after an underwhelming start to the season, but today he looked ready to win, and comfortably. Not every pass comes off as envisioned, but he gets enough of the hard ones right, putting …
Liverpool Relegated Player Transfer Roulette
Liverpool have already felt the brunt of the financial pinch caused by the ongoing pandemic.
Long linked with Timo Werner, the Reds — who were either unwilling or unable to match the financial package on offer in West London — were beaten to the signing of the German international by Chelsea.
The prevailing sense, as suggested by all of the journalists close to the club, is that reigning European, World, and English champions will be relatively quiet in the upcoming …
Klopp sings praises of Reds' Egyptian King
Jürgen Klopp couldn't hide his delight with the performance of Mohamed Salah in Liverpool's 2-1 Premier League win over Bournemouth on Saturday.
Salah equalised for Liverpool after they had gone behind to an early Callum Wilson strike. Sadio Mané played a poor pass to Salah but the Egyptian forward managed to salvage the situation and finished low at the near post, past Aaron Ramsdale.
Mané himself got on the scoresheet before half time to give The Reds the win with …
