    Not one player appealed for it, everyone looked surprised by it. Says it all

    Was the referee trying to make for something?.

    While I do get the reasons behind the refs taking a harsher stance on players or managers questioning their decisions, my gripe with the whole thing is that it gives referees even less accountability for s*** performances like this one.

    Two things I've been saying for years would solve that...
    1) mic them up
    2) post game interviews

    I wanted a nice controlled nothing 2-0.

    we get chaos. poor start, lack of shape and organisation then dominate, then a red card then a plethora of missed chances.

    we are ridiculously hard in ourselves. this team has the talent to be better than this.

    if we scored 10% of the chances and just held better shape we'd be flying.any win will do though it was must win

    We need a strong midfield because there is our weaknesses at the moment.

    All in all I was satisfied with our performance.

    Started badly but eventually got to grips with Bournemouth's high press, and reacted well to the ridiculous red card.

    A regular trait in the early days for 'working progress' Klopp teams

    Important win, and let’s be honest I thought after those opening 5 minutes we would **** this right up - but we didn’t.

    Allison was shocking first half (with his feet) and then outstanding second with some very impressive saves.

    Shout out to vvd as well, has been getting some stick of late but thought he was excellent today

    we go again

    AMC too, shame he's going to miss three games now but I suppose that will push Legendo into starting #silverlining

    An shambles again to begin with, but we took control eventually.
    Red card was harsh.

    The referee was overzealous, maybe he was trying to make up for soft penalty hence the red card.

    well that was "fun" but after the horrific start at least we stated to play proper football even though we still looked a bit dodgy defensively .Thought Diaz and Szob were top notch today .
    We need to hope neither Diaz or Gakpo injuries are more than tweaks/knocks so they are available for next week
