Bournemouth
LiverpoolBig win when everyone lost. These are the kinds of performances you need in order to win leagues eventually, and even though we’re far from that, I’m glad Iraola knew how to react once we jammed a lead. Bournemouth are a good team, probably the best they’ve ever been, and they were probably up for it after winning in Europe and facing their old boss. James Hill was their most impressive player for me, and even though Rayan was the most flashy, Christie feels their scariest. As for us, Wirtz is a problem. I like the guy, but this is arguably the closest Bundesliga style pitch in the league, and to mess up that many plays was concerning. Klopp needs to get in his ear or something, because for us to be sacrificing a body in midfield for another attacker, means he had to do more. Same goes for Barcola, although he did have more moments today. Isak is nonexistent in general play but he’s at four goals this season - he can do ballet on the edge of the box for all I care, as long as he sticks it in the back of the net. Gakpo is playing like 19/20 Gnabry, simply unplayable, dribbling and jamming in the ball anywhere. Macca and Szobo will go under the radar today, as will Kerkez, but all three were really good at just making it hard for Bournemouth to play. Jacquet looks like the heir to VVD, for all the hate Hughes gets, he got that signing right. Look at Lacroix and Konsa this weekend, then look at Jacquet. The kid might surpass Varane in talent and achievement. Nyoni needs to play more. The fact he came on and we didn’t notice him, is a testament to the player he has become. To be that calm at 19, IN MIDFIELD, is incredible. He needs to be starting next to Macca. A word on Alisson. Simply the best GK in the league. How many times he’s saved us is insane, and for him to only have two leagues and a UCL is kind of disrespectful. He needs least another UCL here. Thought Iraola reacted well, closed up the team, and got us to October undefeated. Good weekend.

My takes where the exact same 😂
@kop real ball knowers over here m8 ❤️❤️
@kop how are you feeling about the team, icl this result reassured me in a lot of ways - I was worried Iraola didn’t have the boring win gene in him, but I feel like we’ll need to get a lot of those with how the league sets up in low blocks against us, that doesn’t favor Iraola’s basketball style
@rafadinhoforlahm Definitely improvements to be made, but I feel it’s very promising. Look back at iriola at Bournemouth, he didn’t win his first 10 games I believe or something like that. He’s figuring out what works and what doesn’t and we haven’t even lost yet. So if we can improve on that big things coming. But i totally agree these are the points you need to win titles and secure European football. It’s not pretty, it’s not your best day but you get the job done, and today was one of those.
