I thought both teams were very poor in the first half. Our passing was shit aside from the brilliant pass for the opening goal. We barely strung more than four passes together in one go in their half. But they were just as bad. Our three centre halves were all over the shop n'all. Otamendi had a mare against Salah; Stones was slicing clearances backwards and kept backing off on their breaks to the point of them getting into our box with a one man dribble from the halfway line (see Fernandinho's booking as an example of that where he had to bring down Mane on the edge of the box before he just ran into the box to get a shot away - very poor defending from Stones that and he does it all the time); and Danilo kept giving it away time and again. But i thought their defenders were just as bad. Poor from both sides!
Then we scored but Edesrson still had to make a few saves and a few clearances to get our defenders or midfielders who'd given it away out of the shit and we ballsed up passing in their half which lead to their break where we didn't close the man down and our back three were all over the shop and Mane 'de Jong' kicked Ederson in the head but that could easily have resulted in an equaliser.
From there we settled down but i think we were the same in the first half hour at Bournemouth.
After that we hammered them and it could have been more. It has been a long time coming against those fuckers that result. I absolutely loved handing them a good hiding. Some of our passing and crossing showed Klopp and his players up to be a bit of a gutless bunch of cowards with no defensive tactics. Ten men shouldn't be capitulating like that so where i think we have a hell of a lot of work to do, i think Liverpool have a lot more!
And shame on their fans for booing Ederson when he was stretchered off. Highlights what a horrible set of ****s Scousers are.
