Bournemouth (A) - Post Match

[McDermotX]

First of all I have to say a deserved win for Bournemouth,” Klopp said.

“A big fight from them. We gave the game away at a decisive point. We opened the door and they ran through and scored some wonderful goals. So that's the deserved result.

"Even when we are in the lead at 2-0 it's how we try to play football then we were static.

“We gave the game away because we didn't play football any more.

"If we learn it's OK. At 2-0 or 3-1 the game is not decided but the way we played after we gave it away. We gave Bournemouth the ball. These things happen."

Hope Klopp has learnt all he needs to about our 'squad' and gets in the appropriate replacements. People are saying Mane going off gave Bournemouth confidence to attack us instead of worrying about his pace. Then lets get Dembele in from Celtic in January (when Mane's off) because it becomes a no brainer. Or Pulisic. No brainer.

If we were going to drop 2-3 points then now was probably just the right time (if ever such a time) as we don't put ourselves in serious jeapordy. How can we not be in the running for the league if we're only 4 points behind? Of course we are.

Replacing the keeper at this stage is probably meaningless, we just have to keep the ball away from him. For that we need better than the likes of Lucas, Can (sorry I'm not a fan) and even Origi (who's all round game seems to be a bit ordinary when viewed up close, sadly).

[Lecter]

Not really. Had we been able to win this game we would have been saying how great our depth is. I think we're overstating in any case, whether whenever we're winning handsomely or losing like today. We're on the up as a whole but maybe not quite ready yet. We need to be careful it doesn't end like the previous regime. We need patience.

Err no

Result doesn't change the quality of our squad at all

We are on an upward trajectory it's just not as steep as some have suggested

Injuries have been unkind. We needed a bit of luck on that score and we haven't got it. Leicester were injury free all last season and made it count, Chelsea have the same as us in no distractions but are keeping important players on the pitch week in week out. Klopp says hes not sure if we'll buy in Jan, I hope he's kidding cos we need a talent injection. We'll probably get everyone fit by Jan 1st, not buy anyone and then have an injury crisis in Feb.

Chelsea were woeful early doors and are on a run, we need another run now to take advantage when their's inevitably ends.

[Fredo]

Chelsea don't even have midweek games at the moment.

[Ams12]

Can't go unbeaten forever! Thats probably once in a lifetime accomplishment. Especially in this league! Yes it was a bad result but it came in an unfortunate manner. We need to make sure that we can put another run together from next game and not loose too often. If we do then so be it but back onto the next run!

[Daniel 7]

We can't win them all, and we can't expect the team to be Barceolona. What we can expect is for a goalkeeper to at least make a save, instead of just weakly flopping on his side.

Top 4 is still on though.

[Buzzo]

I still think we will challenge (injuries permitting).

We've been ****ing excellent this season, 15 mins of being ****e won't change that.

If we can strengthen a bit in Jan and stay relatively injury free I don't think we'll be far off.

Looks like it's 4 out of 5 for the Champs League, now Man U have fallen off the pace a fair bit.

[Fredo]

I'm not concerned as well. Teams will drop points. Chelsea will drop points as they can't carry on winning forever. I still thought Spurs were still in it even after their bad patch a few weeks ago. It's still early days and we have a winnable couple of games next.

Everything is still on.

A few things contributed to our loss today, Karius was just one of them. Firstly injuries to our two best players, Origi dropping off in the second half probably due to not playing enough minutes and Mane going off to be replaced by a half fit Lallana. The midfield was all over the place and lacked disipline and we badly missed Matip in defense. All in all, a **** day but not the end of the world. Chelsea look rock solid at the moment, let's see if they can keep it up. I think we can compete with everyone else quite easily.

[redmike65]

Most times between losing the ball and conceding there are probably half a dozen chances to kill the move by whatever means and yet no one can get a clean foot or header in it seems. They just turn to ineffective goo.

At least Man Utd didn't win insofar as they matter at all. It cheered me a bit after such a shocking capitulation.

[Fredo]

Yeah, finishing above United should be our utmost priority.

[redmike65]

Did I even suggest that?

What is wrong with this place - everyone is so literal.

[SB]

Absolute disgrace that was. So many bottlers in there today we could start a brewery. So pissed off right now.

[Irishnev]

I've calmed down now so I'm much more pragmatic about things again. The last 15 mins were disappointing and back to the bad old ways with calamity at the back but to be honest when they scored to make it 2-1 I thought we'd win 3 or 4 one. Even when they made it 3 all I still thought we'd win - these time of performances were common last season and we've had two in almost 20 games this year so that is progress.

When it mattered in the 'big' games this year (United aside) we have delivered inc Spurs away where I thought we were excellent. The team is in the up and will continue to get better and more consistent. Any of us would have biten your hand off for where we are now with a third of the season to go and everything still to play for.

We do need to strengthen in Jan - Coutinho, Lallana, Sturridge were all out from the front line and Firmino had a poor game and we won't always get 3 goals missing them. Lovren is not good enough to be our long term CB - he is still too rash and costs goals with his mistakes. It's a sad indictment of the Sakho situation that Lovren and Lucas were our CBs today and we need better in this area i.e. A long term partner for Matip that we can have for the next 5 years. Great sides have always had stong CB partnerships - Terry & Carvalho, Hyppia and Henchoz, Vidic and Wio etc.

I'm still postive but today was a kick in the balls - no question about that. Was unapproachable for a good 30 mins after the game!
