I saw only the last thirty minutes, but can’t say that it is undeserved on that basis. I saw a totally sterile Liverpool, and a sturdily defending Bournemouth.
Not the finished product yet, obviously, but we move on.
Didn’t think we looked like scoring in the first half. Didn’t think we looked like scoring in the second. Didn’t think we looked much like scoring when Salah was sizing up his Pen, to be honest.
Fucking disgraceful. Genuinely angry at that performance. Not a single player was up to scratch. Lethargic, complacent, predictable, dull, slow, uncreative, unfocused, shit.
Actually, a bright start. Looked threatening at corners and free kicks. Ball cleared off the line. Then a high line mix up (Konate playing on), VVD inexplicitly passing the duty for Andy (on the wrong side of the Bournemouth player), and Billing with the goal.
And then a slow death.
Didn’t threaten much at all. Again, headers looked to be the best route, and a VAR penalty from a header gave a glimmer of hope. Salah hoofed it wide, and that was pretty much that.
