Match Thread Bournemouth V Liverpool

Yea it's definitely a bit of both but Slot shouldn't need to coach Virgil how to clear a long ball. That's just sloppy and we've seen far too much of that from the players I mentioned this season.

The subs are more about managing game time. Some of that will have been informed by the fitness people at the club so his hands are probably tied a bit with how much he can play everyone.

I'm just gutted at what's happening to Virgil. Players obviously lose it as age gets to them but I didn't think it go this way so bad and so rapidly.
Like Sid mentioned yesterday it's reminiscent of Terry's last season or two. He just wasn't the same.
I thought after his wobbles earlier on he'd get his head together and sort things out but it's not happening at all. He's become lazy in my opinion,that mistake yesterday for the first goal is just lazy. It's not dealing with it, stuff he used do as standard.
I still have the hope he'll turn it around, I'd hate to see him go out on this kind of form. Same with Salah but that looks written in stone now as there's not a prayer he's turning it around. He looks like he's just waiting to go now.

Has anyone seen this stat from yesterday’s game. Possession Lost 21 time's. He can’t bitch about being thrown under the bus with that stat along with 5/10 rating from the Echo.

67% possession,3 shots on target.
B'mouth 33% 5 shots on target.
We almost doubled their pass rate too yet still comfortably lost the game.
After we equalised B'mouth had four attempts at goal before they finally got that winner after we'd absolutely made a dogs shit of dealing with two throw ins. We had no attempts at goal after that equaliser and it was all too predictable what was going to happen.

Only watched you tube highlights.
First goal highball into box which virgl doesnt deal with.
Second goal bournemouth player allowed to move into our half unchallenged,liverpool players back off allowing easy ball into box,harsh to blame kerkez who went with his man.
Another chance 84th min walked through non existant midfield.
Confusing subs from slot didnt help.
4 2 2 2 uses high press from wirtz & dom again leaving 2 holding mids exposed.
What has slot got against 3 man midfield?
Can use different attacking formations-4 3 3---4 3 1 2--4 3 2 1.
